Triflex in Action: A Singapore Rooftop Case Study

When rooftops fail: a real case from Singapore

In Singapore’s relentless tropical climate — heat, humidity, and driving rain — old waterproofing systems often betray their promise. A commercial building trusted its aging membrane. Initially, everything seemed fine until cracks spread, leakage began, and structural safety was compromised.

Instead of tearing down and rebuilding, the building owner opted for an upgraded waterproofing strategy with Triflex.

 

 

Why Triflex ProDetail?

While standard Triflex overlay systems deliver lightweight, fully bonded PMMA membranes with rapid cure times, Triflex ProDetail introduces enhanced precision and durability for critical junctions and complex details:

  • Forms a seamless, joint-free surface, even in the smallest areas
  • Bridges dynamic cracks with elastic resilience
  • Fast curing within 30 minutes, so tropical rain isn’t a problem
  • Resistant to UV exposure and chemicals
  • Certified durability of 25+ years under European standards

 

 

 

The Singapore outcome

By applying Triflex overlay with ProDetail upgrades in vulnerable areas, the rooftop regained full waterproofing protection. The building’s risk of water ingress dropped dramatically. Maintenance costs fell, and asset life increased — all without full system replacement.

 

Triflex & VIVABLAST in Vietnam

Vietnam faces similar challenges: heavy monsoon rains, heat, and ageing roof structures. VIVABLAST is the official distributor for Triflex in Vietnam, bringing both the base Triflex overlay systems and the advanced ProDetail detailing options to ensure maximum performance tailored to local conditions.
