In 2025, construction professionals across Lahore are turning to cementitious waterproofing as a durable and affordable solution to protect buildings from Pakistan’s harsh weather conditions. Whether you’re managing a residential project in DHA or a commercial site in Gulberg, cementitious coatings offer long-lasting defense against water damage — especially in monsoon-prone areas.
Cementitious waterproofing coatings are a mix of cement, sand, and waterproofing additives that form a strong, seamless barrier against moisture. Applied directly to concrete and masonry surfaces, they prevent water seepage through walls, foundations, and slabs.
Ideal for:
Flat rooftops
Underground basements
Water tanks and sumps
Bathrooms and kitchens
Lift pits and wet walls
These coatings are especially beneficial in Lahore where high humidity and rainy seasons are common.
In Lahore’s urban layout, flat and slightly sloped concrete rooftops are the norm. These surfaces are constantly exposed to UV rays, heat, dust, and heavy monsoon rain, which can lead to water pooling and seepage.
Cementitious coatings create a continuous, joint-free waterproof layer that bonds directly with the concrete surface, protecting rooftops in areas like Model Town, DHA, Gulberg, and even commercial plazas in Johar Town.
These coatings are also compatible with screeds or tiles, making them ideal for rooftops that need aesthetic finishing afterward.
Basements in Lahore are increasingly common in new residential and commercial constructions, especially in DHA, Bahria Town, and Askari sectors. However, these underground spaces are high-risk zones for hydrostatic pressure and groundwater seepage, especially during rainy seasons.
By applying cementitious waterproofing on basement floors and walls, contractors can:
Prevent mold and mildew buildup
Avoid weakening of structural elements
Extend the life of the concrete and interior finishings
These coatings are brush-applied, cost-effective, and easy to recoat during renovation.
Domestic and industrial buildings across Lahore rely on concrete water storage tanks — whether on rooftops or underground. Without proper waterproofing, concrete absorbs water and leaches lime, which leads to cracks, contamination, and leaks.
Cementitious waterproofing (especially food-grade variants) is ideal because:
It creates a safe, non-toxic seal
Prevents algae growth and water discoloration
Is resistant to water pressure from the inside (positive pressure)
Lasts for years without peeling or reacting to chemicals
Our Products often used in commercial apartment blocks and factories in Lahore for sump tank protection.
Areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms are exposed to continuous dampness and splashes. During tiling, most contractors overlook pre-waterproofing leading to water damage behind tiles, affecting neighboring rooms or lower floors.
Applying a cementitious base coat before tile fixing:
Prevents water migration
Increases bonding with tile adhesive
Eliminates future seepage complaints from tenants or buyers
Especially useful in hostels, hospitals, and apartments.
The foundation is where it all begins and it must remain dry and strong. In Lahore’s clay-heavy soil, moisture retention is high, putting long-term pressure on concrete footings and retaining walls.
Cementitious coatings form a breathable, impermeable membrane that:
Seals microcracks and honeycombing in foundation concrete
Prevents chloride attack and steel bar corrosion
Reduces damp transfer to vertical walls and flooring above
Builders frequently specify our waterproofing systems on foundation curing stages.
