Insulate surfaces from water
The insulation of roofs and buildings is very necessary; This is because of the unwillingness for water to enter the house, when comparing the types of houses and buildings with each other, concrete buildings take the lead when it comes to their resistance to water, but attention must be paid to the cracks and cracks that can be treated, and here are the steps of how to isolate roofs from water:

Preparation of the concrete surface before starting waterproofing; This is done by filling cracks and expansion joints with polyurethane.
smoothing the concrete surface; so as to settle it.
Clean the concrete surface thoroughly.
Choosing the appropriate type of insulator, according to efficiency and cost.
Apply waterproofing by following the instructions for each type of insulation.
Apply finishes specific to the chosen type of waterproofing.



Types of waterproofing surfaces
Cement insulation: It is an easy-to-mix cement material that is applied to the surface to be insulated.
Liquid insulation: one or two layers of liquid insulation are sprayed on the surface to be insulated.
Insulation using bitumen coating: It is a type of coating that acts as a protective waterproofing layer across the surface.

Insulation using bitumen membrane: It is an insulating membrane of bitumen that is applied in the form of blankets over the surface to be insulated when there is no consistent surface tilt, and it is characterized by its self-adhesion to the surface.
Insulation by using polyurethane liquid: It is the application of polyurethane with high flexibility on the surface to be isolated, but this method is considered an expensive insulation method.

Benefits of waterproofing roofs
Waterproofing offers many benefits, including the following:
Getting rid of moisture inside surfaces and walls.
Saving maintenance costs resulting from the infiltration of water inside the house.
Eliminate the problem of deterioration of surfaces and walls due to the penetration of water inside them.
