ALSAN liquid waterproofing systems are extremely versatile. Provided the right primer is used, the range is compatible with all our other waterproofing systems and can be used for waterproofing flat roofs, car parks, balconies and more. In this article, we explain the benefits of using ALSAN PMMA for waterproofing details and upstands.
ALSAN: Ease Of Application
There are several reasons why ALSAN would be preferable for waterproofing details and upstands. First of all, its ease of application – on horizontal areas, but also (and especially) when it comes to waterproofing upstands and intricate detailing, which is challenging to carry out with sheet material and produces both a robust watertight and aesthetic detail. ALSAN 770 is also self-terminating, eliminating the need for a cover flashing or termination bars. Another key benefit is that the ALSAN resins can be applied at any time of the year, even in temperatures of -5˚C.
Waterproofing Details Without Open Flames
Being cold applied, our liquid waterproofing range is perfect for any project where safety concerns may prohibit the use of an open flame, such as refurbishment projects. ALSAN is cold-applied so reduces fire hazards and complies with Safe2Torch best practices.
Seamless Look, Aesthetic Finish
There are aesthetic reasons to opt for ALSAN PMMA, too. ALSAN comes with a vast range of finishes, providing unlimited colour options and unrestricted design possibilities. This means your liquid upstand detailing can be made to replicate the roof finish to create a seamless appearance. In the case of a felt finish, for instance, ALSAN can be finished with hand-cast minerals for a consistent look; in the case of a single-ply finish, the upstands can be made in the exact same RAL-colour.
Hybrid Solutions, One Warranty
ALSAN is a great product to ensure waterproofing integrity when you need to join different waterproofing systems, such as bituminous and synthetic single-ply. You can form the joint between them and use ALSAN to make sure the result is watertight. Moreover, thanks to SOPREMA, you can do all that relying on just one manufacturer, which means you have a single-point warranty on the waterproofing system as a whole and complete peace of mind.
