Developed by UKS Yapı, UKS Proof Membrane is a reliable waterproofing solution for foundations, retaining walls, and basements, featuring active bonding technology, high elasticity, and 100% waterproof performance. Its self-adhesive structure provides stronger adhesion and a lower risk of water infiltration compared to conventional bituminous membranes.
Waterproofing is essential for ensuring the durability of any structure. In areas exposed to hydrostatic pressure, such as foundations and basement walls, fully bonded waterproofing systems offer superior protection. By bonding directly to the concrete surface, UKS Proof Membrane prevents water from migrating beneath the membrane, ensuring long-lasting performance.
UKS Proof Membrane is a bitumen-polymer-based, multi-layer, self-adhesive waterproofing membrane. Its specially engineered active adhesive layer on the underside creates full adhesion to concrete surfaces without requiring additional adhesives or torch application.
The protective film on the upper surface improves durability during installation and helps prevent surface damage.
UKS Proof Membrane can be safely used in all structural elements exposed to water pressure, including:
Its active bonding technology makes it particularly suitable for projects with high groundwater levels and significant hydrostatic pressure.
The membrane bonds completely to the concrete substrate, preventing water from traveling between the membrane and the structure. This virtually eliminates the risk of hidden water leakage.
Since the membrane is self-adhesive, no torch application is required. This makes installation both safer and faster.
Its high elasticity enables the membrane to accommodate minor structural movements and concrete cracks while maintaining continuous waterproofing performance.
The installation process produces no solvents, open flames, or toxic gases, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
The concrete surface should be dry, clean, smooth, and free from dust. Where necessary, a suitable primer should be applied before installation.
Unroll the membrane, gradually remove the protective release film, and apply it directly to the surface. Use a roller or trowel to eliminate trapped air and ensure complete adhesion.
Adjacent sheets should overlap by at least 10 cm. All overlaps should be carefully inspected and, if necessary, reinforced with sealing tape or compatible sealant.
After installation, protect the membrane using geotextile fabric, drainage boards, or protective concrete, depending on the project requirements.
Because waterproofing failures can result in significant structural damage, fully bonded waterproofing systems provide a major advantage, especially in below-grade applications.
It can be applied to reinforced concrete, cement-based plaster, and geotextile-covered substrates. Metal surfaces may require a suitable primer.
It offers temporary UV resistance during construction. For permanent performance, the membrane must be covered with an appropriate protective layer.
With proper installation, UKS Proof Membrane can provide 25–30 years of waterproofing performance. Project-specific warranty options may also be available.
It can be applied to slightly damp substrates. However, surfaces with active water flow must be dried before installation.
UKS Proof Membrane delivers reliable waterproofing from foundations to roofs through its full-surface bonding technology, high elasticity, and complete water impermeability. Especially in projects exposed to significant hydrostatic pressure, it offers a stronger, safer, and more durable alternative to conventional bituminous membrane systems.
