Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing in Unaizah
Azl delivers bituminous membrane waterproofing in Unaizah with a method that starts with diagnosis, selects the system that suits the city's conditions, and ends with testing and a written warranty. Membrane waterproofing means laying polymer-modified bitumen rolls (SBS or APP) reinforced with polyester or glass fibre, torch-welded over a bituminous primer with overlapping seams to form a continuous waterproof layer.

Our technical recommendations for bituminous membrane waterproofing in Unaizah
Thermal insulation first
Unaizah has long, extremely hot summers, so roof thermal insulation should be a core part of the solution rather than an optional extra, with a heat-reflective top layer to cut the cooling load on upper floors.
Inspection before pricing
Every building in Unaizah has its own condition, so we rely on an on-site inspection to set the material, thickness and cost accurately, and offer a remote preliminary diagnosis through the smart assistant.
Materials we choose from
- SBS-modified bitumen rolls: Good flexibility under temperature changes and tolerance of substrate movement; widely used on roofs and foundations.
- APP-modified bitumen rolls: Higher resistance to heat and UV; chosen for some exposed roofs per the data sheet.
- Bituminous primer: Seals concrete pores and improves membrane adhesion; left to dry before torching.
- Mineral-surfaced rolls: An exposed top layer that protects the bitumen from UV when the roof is not tiled.
- Protection boards and drainage spacers: Protect foundation and buried-wall waterproofing from damage during backfilling.
Work stages
- Inspect the roof or foundations and check slopes, drains, upstands and penetrations
- Clean the surface, remove projections, form corner fillets with mortar and treat cracks
- Apply the bituminous primer and let it dry
- Torch-weld the rolls with side and end laps no less than the data sheet specifies, turning them up the upstands and reinforcing drains
- Flood-test long enough and check the seams before any covering
- Install the protection layer: screed or thermal insulation and tiles on roofs, or protection boards on foundations before backfilling
Warranty and compliance
You receive a written warranty whose period depends on the insulation type and surface condition, with a handover report documenting materials and tests (flood, adhesion, thickness).
