Liquid rubber roofing can seem like an easy fix for waterproofing flat roofs, but it often leads to long-term problems due to improper installation and a lack of reinforcement. In this video, we discuss why many "liquid rubber" products are just coatings rather than primary membranes, and how permanent fluid-applied systems require polyester fabric reinforcement to prevent cracking and tearing. Learn the correct way to install these membranes, including compatible substrates, primer application, and ensuring proper thickness, to achieve a durable and long-lasting roof assembly.
