For which type of applications do you most frequently use polyurea-based membranes?
We choose this type of material when the project owner is looking for durable, high-performance, waterproofing protection for the concrete roof decks. This is especially true for refurbishment works where fast-track completion and long-term extension of service-life is expected.
Using spray-applied PURTOP 1000 waterproofing membrane on the roofs of the Syariah Courts of Justice in Kuala Lumpur has overcome water infiltration problems caused by failure of the waterproofing system applied previously.
In your opinion, what are the advantages of the polyurea membranes proposed by Mapei?
Mapei polyurea-based products offer several advantages and, among them, we especially appreciate their fast and easy application and ability to create a continuous waterproofing layer. Besides, we choose them due to their high performance and Mapei’s ability to provide a strong successful track record for their use in different projects and countries.

What are the strengths of the collaboration with Mapei?
We especially appreciate Mapei’s commitment in providing technical support. We know we can rely on expert, committed, and competent technicians that are always available and ready to support us.
Which were the main challenges involved in the works at the Kuala Lumpur Syariah Court?
First of all, we found out that the existing substrate was in poor condition and required extensive repair works and proper substrate preparation. We managed to overcome this problem by using specific Mapei solutions such as MAPEFLOOR EP 19 MT epoxy mortar.
Besides, the use of reliable, high-performance, easy-to-apply products such as those supplied by Mapei helped us to meet the tight deadlines for the completion of the works.
