Roof surface are subjected to extreme temperature variations both in a 24 hour cycle (day & night) & over a period of an year. The variations could be 20° in the former & 50° C in the later.
Roofs are generally concrete structures and are also subjected to this variation, causing them to expand & contract. This expansion & contraction cause cracks in the structure and as a result when it rains, the water starts finding its way through there cracks & eventually roofs leak.
As a result you go in for water proofing treatment spending a lot of money.
To avoid this , PVC Waterproofing membrane can be installed on the roof. This product has an elastomeric feature giving it the ability to adjust to the expansion & contraction of the concrete structure due to temperature variation.
