Liquid Roofing Contractors

Liquid roofing is a cold-applied waterproofing system designed to deliver seamless, long-lasting protection for flat and complex roofs without the need for hot works.

Where fire safety is a concern, cold-applied liquid flat roofing systems are ideal, as their cold application means hot works can be omitted from the installation process. Provided the roof is regularly maintained, liquid roofing waterproofing systems can have a life expectancy of the design life of the roof in which it is incorporated.

We are members of the LRWA, and we work with industry-leading manufacturers and suppliers to hand over roofs that are fully certified and guaranteed for many years to come. Working alongside industry-leading manufacturers and suppliers, DVC Commercial Roofing Contractors have vast experience delivering and handing over watertight buildings to our clients using various hot and cold-applied waterproofing systems.

A summary of benefits includes;

Fire Safety: Since these systems are applied without the need for torches, burners, or other heating equipment, they eliminate the risk of fire associated with hot works on flat roofs.
Ease of Application: These systems are straightforward to apply, often using rollers or brushes. This simplicity can lead to faster project completion times and reduced labor costs.
Versatility: Cold-applied liquid waterproofing can be used on a variety of surfaces, including concrete, timber, metal, and even glass. This makes them suitable for complex roof designs and areas with multiple material interfaces.
Seamless Coverage: The liquid application forms a continuous, seamless membrane, which helps prevent water ingress and ensures consistent coverage across the entire surface.
Durability: High-quality cold-applied systems are UV and hydrolysis resistant, meaning they can withstand prolonged exposure to sunlight and water without degrading. This durability can extend the life of the roof.
Quick Curing: Many cold-applied systems cure rapidly, even in low temperatures, allowing for quick waterproofing and minimal downtime during the flat roof installation.

These benefits make cold-applied liquid waterproofing systems a reliable and efficient choice for both new constructions and refurbishments.
