This mistake can be very expensive, since an aesthetic or superficial action does not solve humidity problems or guarantee the durability of the structure.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>At IMPERA, specialists in <strong>waterproofing in Catalonia and the Balearic Islands<\/strong> , we detect every week poorly executed or insufficient interventions that cause structural damage, recurrent leaks and loss of energy efficiency.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>In this article we explain why it is essential <strong>to understand the difference between painting and waterproofing<\/strong> , what the most common mistakes are and how we can avoid them with <strong>professional and guaranteed solutions<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between painting and waterproofing a terrace?<\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Painting<\/strong> a terrace consists of applying a surface layer of coating \u2014usually acrylic or similar\u2014 that can improve aesthetics and provide minimal protection for a very limited time.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Waterproofing<\/strong> , on the other hand, is a technical process that involves:<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The study of the condition of the support (concrete, ceramics, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Proper surface preparation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The application of multilayer systems with sheets or membranes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sealing of critical points (joints, downspouts, grooves, etc.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Watertightness tests to guarantee effectiveness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Therefore, <strong>painting does not waterproof<\/strong> . And trusting that a paint will prevent the passage of water is one of the most common mistakes.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Common mistakes we see as waterproofing experts<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Apply waterproof paint as a definitive solution<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Many products are sold as \u201cwaterproof paints,\u201d but in reality they only have <strong>limited resistance to moisture<\/strong> . Over time, these layers degrade, tear, or detach.<\/p>\n\n<p>At IMPERA we have intervened on many roofs that had been &#8220;waterproofed&#8221; with this type of paint&#8230; and had leaks after a few months.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Do not repair cracks or vulnerable spots before painting<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Painting over cracks or fissures without repairing them is useless. Water infiltrates equally. It is necessary to make a <strong>prior diagnosis<\/strong> , repair existing pathologies and apply a continuous system that guarantees tightness.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Not respecting slopes or drains<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Good waterproofing must take into account the slopes of the roof to avoid puddles. If you paint without reconfiguring slopes or checking drainage points, water accumulates and accelerates the degradation of the system.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Choosing inappropriate or uncertified materials<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Not all materials are suitable for all types of terrace. Using non-approved paints or membranes can compromise the result. At <strong><a>IMPERA<\/a><\/strong> we only work with recognized brands and guaranteed systems.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Performing maintenance without technical advice<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>It is essential to have a specialized technician who assesses the condition of the terrace. <strong>Performing maintenance every few years with professional systems<\/strong> extends its useful life and avoids major interventions.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are the consequences of not waterproofing properly?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recurrent leaks<\/strong> in ceilings and walls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deterioration of thermal and acoustic insulation<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mold and humidity<\/strong> that affect health<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Structural damage<\/strong> due to degradation of reinforced concrete<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High costs<\/strong> in repeated repairs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>It is better to invest once in <strong>durable waterproofing<\/strong> than to keep plugging leaks without success.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do we waterproof terraces at IMPERA?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Each case is different, but our methodology usually follows these phases:<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">  1. Technical diagnosis<\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>We analyze the current state, detect critical points and assess which system is best adapted according to use, orientation, traffic, weather conditions&#8230;<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">  2. Preparation of the support<\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>We clean, strip or repair the surface to guarantee the adhesion of the waterproofing system.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Application of the waterproofing system<\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Depending on the case, we apply:<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Bituminous or synthetic sheets (TPO, PVC&#8230;)<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Liquid polyurethane or polymeric membranes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Two-layer or multilayer systems with reinforcements<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Special coatings for walkable terraces<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Treatment of singular points<\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>We especially emphasize areas such as:<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Expansion joints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sewers and drains<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perimeters and shells<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Installation steps (TV, air conditioning&#8230;)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Watertightness tests<\/h5>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<p>Once the waterproofing is complete, we carry out <strong>verification tests<\/strong> , if necessary, to guarantee the result.<\/p>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When is it necessary to waterproof a terrace?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When <strong>dampness, leaks or fungus<\/strong> are observed<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If more than <strong>10 years<\/strong> have passed since the last performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When a <strong>comprehensive reform<\/strong> is done<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In old buildings without adequate insulation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you want to improve <strong>energy efficiency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where do we work?
