**AT SWAZI WATERPROOFING EXPERTS, PREPARATION IS KEY. 🛠️💧**
At **Swazi Waterproofing Experts**, we believe waterproofing is not simply about applying a product — it is about having the **right knowledge, correct preparation and proper application method**.
Our team is **trained by manufacturers** to understand product specifications, surface preparation and application requirements.
🔹 **PREPARATION IS KEY**
A waterproofing system can only perform as intended when the substrate is properly prepared. Cleaning, repairing defects, priming and ensuring the surface is suitable are essential steps before application.
🔹 **PRODUCT SPECIFICATION + RECOMMENDATION = ART & KNOWLEDGE**
Not every waterproofing product is suitable for every surface. Choosing the correct system requires understanding the substrate, movement, exposure, drainage and manufacturer requirements.
🔥 **TORCH-ON WATERPROOFING — KNOW WHERE IT BELONGS**
Torch-on membrane systems are designed for suitable substrates such as **concrete slabs and properly constructed boarded/decking systems**, subject to the specific manufacturer's requirements.
⚠️ **WHY WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DIRECT TORCH-ON APPLICATION TO ROOF SHEETS**
Applying a torch-on membrane directly onto metal roof sheets can create serious problems, including:
❌ **Heat damage** — open-flame application can damage protective coatings and finishes on metal sheets.
❌ **Expansion & contraction** — metal sheets move significantly with temperature changes, which can place stress on the membrane and detailing.
❌ **Poor substrate compatibility** — a membrane system requires a suitable, stable substrate for reliable long-term performance.
❌ **Trapped moisture & condensation** — incorrect installation can create moisture-related problems beneath the membrane.
❌ **Fastener and sheet movement issues** — movement around screws, laps and sheet joints can compromise waterproofing details.
❌ **Premature failure** — using a system outside its intended application can result in blistering, cracking, separation or leaks.
❌ **Warranty concerns** — applying a product contrary to the manufacturer's specification may affect the system warranty or guarantee.
💡 **THE RIGHT PRODUCT ON THE RIGHT SUBSTRATE — APPLIED THE RIGHT WAY.**
At **Swazi Waterproofing Experts**, we don't believe in simply putting waterproofing products over problems.
We **inspect, prepare, specify and apply according to manufacturer standards.**
