Triflex

Triflex is the leading European specialist in cold liquid applied waterproofing, surfacing and marking resins. Our high-quality systems provide reliable and lasting waterproofing, surfacing, protection and markings for roofs, walkways, balconies, terraces, car parks, roads and infrastructure. We are a family owned and operated company that provides tailored solutions worldwide. From our production facilities based in Minden, Germany, we have been researching and developing solutions designed to protect and repair the built environment for more than 40 years.

From our dedicated premises in Stone, Staffordshire and via our regional teams, the Triflex Technical Team can assist in all areas of your project to ensure that the finished result is one in which all parties can have total confidence. We provide expert advice for all applications including roofs, roof details and repairs, walkways, balconies, terraces, car parks, markings and special projects including wind turbine and base waterproofing. We ensure that all of our clients receive the same level of technical service, support and back up right through to completion of the project.

A roof waterproofing system must adapt to the conditions on the roof while offering performance without compromise and maximise design possibilities. To put it simply, it must remain watertight. Triflex offers a wide range of highly certified, seamless, cold liquid applied waterproofing, surfacing and coating systems for flat roofs, details and repairs. All Triflex systems are based on the most advanced polymer chemistry, delivering technical excellence and exceptional waterproofing integrity. Triflex systems have advantages over all conventional and sheet applied materials including cure times, ease of use and whole-life costing.

Open-air spaces like balconies and roof terraces, galleries and walkways are constantly exposed to the elements with great demands placed on them as a result of weather conditions and mechanical loads. Door and window joints, railing posts and junctions are particularly susceptible to moisture penetration, concrete flaking and corrosion. For that reason, outdoor surfaces must remain highly robust and wear-resistant to prevent them from having an impact on the fabric of a building. Triflex balcony systems offer solutions to handle even the most demanding of challenges with ease.

Triflex offers systems with long-term protection for simple, detailed or intricate roof structures. Whether new construction or renovation, green roof or individual substrates: Triflex offers the ideal, customised and long-lasting solution to meet every challenge. The flexible material together with the fleece reinforcement ensures seamless and jointless waterproofing. Open-air spaces like walkways, balconies and terraces are constantly exposed to the elements and mechanical stress. Here, moisture penetration, concrete flaking and corrosion of reinforcements can cause damage and have an impact on the fabric of the building.

Cold liquid appliedwaterproofing andsurfacing systems provide lasting protection and reliability to roofs, walkways, balconies, terraces, car parks and much more. Our systemsprovide significant benefits over competing systems including ease of application, speed of installation, cost-effectiveness and their flame-free application process. While you may not have heard of them, we have been manufacturing cold liquid applied waterproofing systems for over 40 years. However, liquid plastics are still considered a relatively new technology within the construction industrywhen compared to traditional hot melt and sheet applied materials.

Keeping buildings and infrastructure open over the long term is essential for any retail operation's revenue. Creating and then maintaining an attractive environment is the key to success. Triflex waterproofing and surfacing technologiesensure that customers appreciate the environment that they shop in from the moment they arrive in your car park to when they leave and for years to come. Don't make the mistake of opting for a cheaper solution, it will cost you dear - your premises could suffer from water ingress or even condensation that is not only unattractive but could affect the integrity of the building and be a hazard for staff and customers.

A damp building or facility due to water ingress or incorrect specification is not only a health hazard but can damage its fabric. Getting the right waterproofing and resurfacing solution requires expertise. By making Triflex a part of your team, we can help you to get the right solution for both new build and refurbishment. If it is an existing building, we will help you to identify the true cause of a problem and then specify the correct long-term solution. We are true specialists at what we do, with more than 40 years' experience in cold liquid applied waterproofing and resurfacing with a large ongoing research and development budget.

Triflex cold liquid applied waterproofing, surfacing, marking and coating systems provide tough, durable and lasting results. They are simple to apply using a roller or brush and many of our systems cure extremely rapidly. In fact compared to many other competing systems, such as GRP which can take hours to cure, Triflex systems can provide a rainproof membrane in as little as 30 minutes, even in temperatures as low as -5°C. Additionally Triflex is compatible with nearly every substrate available.

Imagine a waterproofing and surfacing solution that can create a large-scale waterproof membrane in as little as a day, is quick and easy to apply using only rollers and brushes, is cold liquid applied with no requirement for the use of hot works, can be used to overlay existing substrates minimising waste and speeding up installation and can be installed at any time of the year. At Triflex that's exactly what our solutions are designed to do, and we've been doing it for over 40 years. Unlike many alternatives, you can use cold liquid applied waterproofing without the need for hot works, meaning there is no fire risk during application.

Whatever the project, we have a range of specifically engineered waterproofing, surfacing, coating and repair systems to suit your needs. We can provide solutions for almost any application, such as; wind turbines, plant rooms, water treatment facilities, water features and fountains, monuments, joints and much more. Wind turbines exploit the forces of nature and give us clean, renewable energy. In the process, the tower and foundation are exposed to the force of the wind and the constant movement stresses the structure.

Since 1998, all Triflex cold liquid applied waterproofing, surfacing, protection, marking and repair products have been manufactured under the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard, confirming our commitment to the minimisation of the environmental impact of our activities. Ecology and economics go hand-in-hand and environmental protection is a central corporate objective. In the interests of ecological corporate development, we strive to achieve constant improvements in our company's environmental protection over and above the statutory requirements.

You cannot afford to take chances with a waterproofing and protection system on a building. It is the final layer of protection to ensure its long-term structural integrity. Getting it wrong can lead to unseen corrosion and potential disaster. While people may notice a leak or condensation build up in a building that is inhabited, there are plenty of structures that are not occupied and where it may go unnoticed - such as in car parks. You need long-term durable protection from not just water, but in the case of car parks ongoing mechanical stresses, oil, grease and chemicals.
