In some of the world’s most hazardous settings, Flexcrete materials are employed to tackle challenging structural problems. They provide unrivaled resistance to water penetration, chemicals, chloride ions, carbonation, and other forms of aggressive attack.

Why use FlexCrete waterproofing products

FlexCrete is the original cementitious waterproofing product and the only one that Miami-Dade approves for use in its County known for hurricane-force winds. FlexCrete was first introduced to the market in 2010 and, since that time, has been used on over three million square feet of commercial and residential projects around the globe. Backed by independent testing and verified by its Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance 17-1206.01- Miami-Dade County (miamidade.gov) (NOA), FlexCrete is easy to apply and offers superior performance. FlexCrete offers additional protection and reinforcement of your cement and concrete structure by preventing water and chemicals from attacking the substrate. Over time, chemicals and water entering the structure can weaken concrete or cement, causing spalling, cracking, or even leading to collapse or a catastrophic failure as in Surfside, Florida, as suggested by many experts. Engineers, architects, and designers recommend using Flexcrete where additional protection is wanted. Pools, parking decks, water retention, cisterns, fountains, foundations, sidewalks, tunnels are many of the applications where FlexCrete has been used. FlexCrete is also ANSI and NSF Standard sixty-one certified, so it is safe to use for drinking water.

Benefits of FlexCrete waterproofing products

Engineers, architects, designers, contractors, owners, cement or concrete applicators, pool installers, building construction, parking decks, water features, water retention, waste management, contractors, and others who need to waterproof, protect, reinforce cement or concrete can benefit from FlexCrete waterproofing products.

Another important advantage is that FlexCrete is simple to use. Where water containment is required for the best results, apply two coats of spray-on protection and brush it in thoroughly, one coat horizontally, the next vertically.

FlexCrete waterproofing costs about $0.75 to $1.00 per square foot for two coat coverage. With a minimum of one pallet order and technical help, we offer free shipping in Florida. We also have special pricing for contractors and distributors.
