Waterproofing Solution for residential aluminium composite roof, Singapore

Triflex Case Study_Singapore Residence_ProTect_work in progress photos

In 2019, Triflex was called upon to provide a waterproofing solution for a residential aluminium composite roof in Singapore. The roof had developed defects at the joints due to an under-slope issue, allowing water ingress despite previous attempts to patch the leaks with silicone. After evaluating the situation, Triflex’s expertise was sought to deliver a more permanent and robust waterproofing solution.


The Challenge

The primary challenge was sealing the leaking joints in the aluminium composite roof caused by an under-slope problem, allowing water to penetrate through the roof joints. The failure of previous silicone patches further complicated the situation. An effective solution needed to address both the leaks and the roof’s expansion, ensuring long-term protection and durability.


The Solution

Collaborating with our authorized contractor, Triflex conducted an on-site survey to determine the optimal solution. The Triflex ProTect system, complemented by Triflex Metal Primer and Triflex ProDetail, was selected for its crack-bridging ability and fast-curing properties. This system waterproofed the entire roof, including detailed areas such as gutters and wall connections, providing a seamless, durable solution that could withstand the roof’s natural expansion.
