CGC Unveils Quick-Drying Liquid Waterproofing Membrane

CGC Inc., a leading building materials manufacturer, unveils CGC Durock™ Brand Liquid Waterproofing Membrane, a durable and seamless application for use in commercial and residential tile and stone applications. CGC Durock™ Brand Liquid Waterproofing Membrane only requires a one-coat application when installed over smooth surfaces, and is suitable for wet areas from showers (including steam showers) to flooring assemblies to countertops.

With the waterproofing membranes market size estimated to surpass $10.5 billion USD by the end of 2024, the need for durable materials in construction for commercial and residential projects is growing. CGC Durock™ Brand Liquid Waterproofing Membrane is a strong polymer-based fluid application that is designed to be to be rolled, brushed, trowelled or sprayed. This liquid membrane provides a sealed waterproof barrier in a single-step application when administered over vertical smooth surfaces or in a two-ply application when used on rough surfaces and all horizontal surfaces. Its fast-drying time allows for quick turnaround on the jobsite.

CGC Durock™ Brand Liquid Waterproofing Membrane has the lowest permeance rating (0.43 perms at 15 millilitres dry thickness) of any liquid waterproofing membrane when tested to ASTM E96, making it not only ideal for showers and other wet areas, but for continuous-use residential and commercial steam showers without an additional vapour retarder.
