A leaking metal roof is a common issue in factories, warehouses, industrial facilities, and other large buildings. However, the point where water appears inside the building is not always the actual source of the leak. Water can travel along the roof surface or structural elements before becoming visible. Therefore, before choosing a metal roof waterproofing…
What Is PMMA? PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) is a high-performance acrylic resin widely used in the construction industry as a cold liquid-applied waterproofing system. Once mixed with a catalyst, PMMA cures rapidly to form a seamless, durable waterproof membrane with exceptional adhesion and weather resistance. Unlike traditional sheet membranes, PMMA is applied in liquid form, allowing…
Roof ventilators are commonly installed on industrial buildings to improve air circulation and help reduce heat buildup inside the facility. However, installing a ventilator also creates a roof penetration, which can become a potential entry point for rainwater if the ventilator base and surrounding details are not properly waterproofed. A leaking roof ventilator on a…
A leaking roof is more than just an inconvenience—it can interrupt production, damage equipment, increase maintenance costs, and even compromise workplace safety. Many facility owners assume leaks occur because the roof membrane has reached the end of its service life. In reality, most industrial roof leaks originate from a handful of critical details rather than…
Demonstration project: Triflex waterproofing trial for hangar roof VIVABLAST recently carried out a Triflex waterproofing demonstration project for the Vietjet aircraft hangar roof at the Long Thanh International Airport development in Vietnam. The demonstration aimed to evaluate the suitability of Triflex liquid-applied waterproofing systems for complex industrial roofing structures and critical detailing areas. The hangar…
From technical training to compliant execution under real site conditions In large-scale infrastructure projects such as airports, roof waterproofing is a critical discipline that demands not only high-performance materials but also correct technical understanding and precise on-site execution — especially for complex roofing systems. Following an in-depth technical training program at the workshop of VIVABLAST,…
Industrial facilities rely on durable roofing systems to protect equipment, production lines, and working environments. However, in practice, roof leakage rarely originates from the main roof surface. Instead, it typically starts at critical roof details, where structural complexity and environmental stress are significantly higher. Recently, VIVABLAST completed an on-site inspection of a customer’s factory…
1. La menace silencieuse des petites fissures de toiture. Les petites fissures de toiture semblent souvent inoffensives : une fine ligne en surface que la plupart des gens négligent. Cependant, sous les climats tropicaux, avec un fort rayonnement UV, de fortes pluies et des variations de température constantes, ces fissures peuvent s’agrandir rapidement. Ce qui commence comme un défaut mineur en surface devient le point de départ d’infiltrations d’eau…
Quand les toitures cèdent : un cas réel à Singapour. Sous le climat tropical impitoyable de Singapour — chaleur, humidité et pluies torrentielles —, les anciens systèmes d'étanchéité ne tiennent souvent pas leurs promesses. Un immeuble commercial avait fait confiance à sa membrane vieillissante. Au départ, tout semblait en ordre, jusqu'à ce que des fissures se propagent, que des fuites apparaissent et que la sécurité de la structure soit compromise. Au lieu de démolir et de reconstruire,…
Les toitures plates nécessitent un jour ou l'autre une rénovation. Traditionnellement, cela impliquait la dépose et le remplacement complet de l'étanchéité existante. Aujourd'hui, les systèmes de recouvrement utilisant l'étanchéité liquide à froid Triflex PMMA offrent une alternative plus durable, efficace et économique. Qu'est-ce qu'un système de recouvrement ? Un système de recouvrement consiste à installer une nouvelle couche d'étanchéité directement sur la surface de la toiture existante, après…
