Areas subjected to foot traffic, such as balconies, terraces, access galleries and stairs, require protective surfacing and waterproofing systems that provide superior safety underfoot. Such systems must also be water-impermeable, seamless, and offer high UV-resistance. When a building needs to be refurbished, complete waterproofing and surfacing systems can be installed within a very short time. PMMA and PAS systems in particular are remarkable for their fast cure time, even at very low temperatures, which means that work can be completed rapidly.

Areas subjected to a high volume of rolling traffic, such as in multi-storey and underground car parks, specifically require abrasion-resistant, as well as oil- and fuel-resistant systems. Quartz sand can be broadcast over ramps, exposed decks and internal decks for superior skid resistance. Since the systems can be installed rapidly and also offer a long service life, clients benefit from closures being kept to a minimum and from long-term economic advantages. For road and bridge maintenance the key features again include the long lifespan of these systems, as well as their resistance to frost and de-icing salts. Bridge deck waterproofing using polymer-modified bitumen membranes or spray-applied liquid-resin waterproofing can be applied as part of a system when primed with a bridge deck sealer to create an extremely efficient waterproofing layer under mastic and rolled asphalt surfacing.
