Course Description: AEC Daily: Polymeric Liquid-Applied Membranes (PMMA/PMA) for Roofing & Waterproofing
Ensuring a building’s roof is waterproof, on top of being structurally sound, is critical to the success of any building project. This course examines rapid curing, polymeric liquid-applied waterproofing membranes for roofing and other demanding applications. Discussions include the history of PMMA, PMMA system components and characteristics, the installation process, and the versatility of PMMA products.
Discuss the history and composition of PMMA/PMA and the sustainable attributes in relation to long-term performance, VOC compliance, and low-odor and isocyanates-free formulations.
Describe the various layers that comprise PMMA systems and state which applications they are suitable for.
Summarize substate preparation and the steps involved in the installation process in order to achieve a monolithic, watertight, and durable waterproofing system, with minimal impact on building occupants.
Recall the performance advantages of using PMMA roofing and waterproofing membranes in lieu of traditional waterproofing systems, where failure can lead to moisture infiltration and subsequent issues with building components.
