Waterproofing and thermal insulation — protecting your building from leaks and heat

Insulation is your building's first line of defense against water and heat leaks. In Saudi Arabia, where temperatures soar in the summer and heavy rains fall in some seasons, good insulation is an investment that can save you thousands of riyals on electricity bills and maintenance costs.

waterproofing

It prevents water from penetrating the building structure. Primary application areas: roofs, foundations, bathrooms, and swimming pools. Material types:

  • Bitumen rolls: Most commonly, they are heat-applied and provide excellent protection.
  • Liquid materials (acrylic/polyurethane): It is sprayed or coated and forms a continuous rubber layer without gaps.
  • Polyethylene sheets: A layer of mechanical protection over the insulation.

thermal insulation

It reduces heat transfer into the building, thus lowering the electricity bill by 30-40%. Types:

  • Polystyrene (EPS/XPS): Lightweight and efficient panels, used in ceilings and walls.
  • Polyurethane foam: With the highest insulating capacity, it is sprayed in place and fills the gaps.
  • Glass wool: Thermal and acoustic insulation, used in false ceilings and walls.
