Moisture in the home is not just an aesthetic problem that causes stains on the walls. It is a serious threat to the structure of the building itself, and restorations are often more expensive than the construction itself. That's why it's important to choose the right material "from the first time".
1. Bitumen sheet – Classic for foundations
Bitumen sheets (often called roofing felt) are a traditional solution that is welded with a flame.
- Where it's best: It is the absolute ruler of underground parts (foundations, basements).
- Advantages: Due to its thickness and double-layer installation, bitumen is very resistant to mechanical damage during foundation backfilling.
- Price: The material is very affordable, making it an economical choice for large areas.
2. TPO and PVC membranes – Modern solution for roofs
Synthetic membranes are today's standard for flat roofs and modern buildings.
- Where they're best: Flat roofs, terraces and green roofs exposed to the sun.
- Advantages:
- UV resistance: White TPO membrane reflects the sun (Cool Roof effect), reducing building heating.
- Speed: A roll of membrane covers large areas, which significantly speeds up installation.
- Price: Higher price per square meter, but faster installation often compensates for the total labor cost.
