Waterproofing projects are challenging enough, even when water and moisture are uncommon, and minimal whenever they do come. Now try to waterproof surfaces that are routinely, or even constantly exposed to water and moisture, and you may be scratching your head and desperate for a solution. Fortunately, coatings technology has developed rapidly over the last half-century, and new solutions offer everything we’ve always loved about protective coatings, but combined with robust waterproofing capabilities. For outdoor aquatic spaces like swimming pools, pool decks, and fountains, high-performance coatings like polyurea can protect surfaces from corrosion and other types of water damage, while also resisting extreme temperatures, high foot traffic, and forceful drops and slams.
