Traffic Coatings & Waterproofing Membranes for Concrete

Traffic coatings offer excellent protection for concrete structures and the underlying rebar by forming a waterproof barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating the concrete surface and the usable spaces below. Pedestrian and vehicle traffic coatings are typically either polyurethane systems with elastomeric properties or cementitious, breathable systems designed for slab-on-grade applications. 

 

Protecting Steel Reinforcement

A traffic-specific waterproofing coating, also known as a membrane, is essential for protecting concrete surfaces exposed to moisture, heavy use, and chemicals, which can damage the concrete and cause the underlying steel reinforcements to rust and corrode. 

This is particularly important for structures like parking garages, plazas, stadiums, balconies, rooftop terraces, and condo parking areas—any concrete surface with steel reinforcements beneath it. If water permeates the concrete and reaches the steel, it can compromise the structural integrity of the building, leading to costly repairs or even the need for complete replacement.

A properly installed traffic coating system extends the lifespan of the structure and creates a waterproof barrier that protects usable spaces below the concrete deck, allowing you to maximize the use of your property.

The Coating You Need, The Best Team To Install It

Different traffic coating membranes and sealants are available to meet varying needs, such as pedestrian versus vehicle traffic. Concrete Fusion specializes in installing high-quality traffic and pedestrian waterproofing systems. 

Our decades of experience show we excel in membrane preparation and seamless traffic membrane system installation. You can count on Concrete Fusion to offer the best products for your surface, prepare the concrete to perfection, and install a coating that will serve you for many years.

What Do Our Traffic Coatings Protect Against?

  • Weather Damage — Rain, snow, wind, temperature changes, and sun are no match for our protective coatings.
  • Deicers — Corrosive salts and chemicals to remove ice are harsh on concrete, but our traffic coatings stand up to these products.
  • Leaking Pipes — An undetected water leak or burst pipe can be a disaster for unprotected concrete, but our systems protect you from all moisture problems.
  • Heavy Traffic — Cars, forklifts, buses, even airplanes won’t damage your concrete when it’s protected by a traffic coating by Concrete Fusion.
  • Steel Corrosion & Rusting — The reinforcing steel in your concrete is its structural skeleton, and our membranes stop moisture from penetrating and causing disastrous rust.
  • Oil & Chemical Damage — Various chemicals and oils cause permanent stains or worse, but our coatings resist these substances to extend your concrete’s lifespan.
  • Broken & Cracked Concrete — We prep surfaces to perfection, including patching cracks and other damage, then the coating penetrates and strengthens the concrete to protect against future problems.
