Architect designed residential project incorporating unconventional curved roof.
Owners required an aesthetically pleasing waterproof membrane to highlight unique roof shape as this was viewed from a second level.
Originally the free form roof was to be built in metal however an alternative material and application was investigated due to the inherent complications.
The complexity of flashings and gutters and irregular shape made it extremely difficult and impractical to use conventional waterproof membrane i.e sheet or torch-on products.
F.E.W Waterproofing was contracted to supply and install the eco-friendly and UV resistant Liquid Rubber membrane.
F.E.W Waterproofing are Australian Certified Liquid Rubber applicators based in Melbourne Australia.

5. The membrane needed to have the
ability to conform to the free form roof
shape.
6. The complexity of the flashings & gutters made it
extremely difficult and impractical to use
conventional waterproofing membrane
i.e sheet or torch on.
7. We used a spray-applied monolithic (seamless)
waterproof membrane – Liquid Rubber.
Liquid Rubber cures to a single, fully-bonded
membrane with no joints or seams.
8. Orange tongue sheet flooring provided the roof
substrate.
Liquid Rubber properties include extreme adhesion to
almost any surface.

10. This “Instant Set” cold spray-applied system
provides exceptional coverage – the project was
instantly waterproofed in two days.
11. Liquid Rubber has 800 % elasticity and over 95%
memory allowing for excessive roof movement.
12. Liquid Rubber has excellent U.V. resistance, resists
ageing and cracking due to thermal cycling and
provides strength, elasticity and adhesion.
