By protecting these facilities from the adverse effects of leaks, moisture ingress, drafts and wind damage, weatherproofing ensures a favourable learning environment. It also extends the lifespan of the building, reducing maintenance costs and preserving valuable educational resources.

Our cold-applied weatherproofing formula can be used to effectively weatherproof a variety of vertical and roof penetrations, including:
