When faced with the task of choosing the best waterproofing, the most frequent request is to find a material that:

  • does not leak;

  • serves for years;

  • withstands frost, water and ultraviolet;

  • suitable for your object - foundation, terrace, swimming pool or bathroom.

But there is no universal waterproofing. Different types of materials are needed for different tasks: polymer-cement, bitumen, polyurethane, acrylic or penetrating systems.

That is why professionals often choose TEKNO Construction Chemicals materials , represented in Ukraine by TEKNOSEL , an importer of modern construction chemicals for professional waterproofing.
