Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing
In 2024, the roof waterproofing at Polinyà, Barcelona was made with Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM.
01 · Project overview
What is this project?
In 2024, the roof waterproofing at Polinyà, Barcelona was made with Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM. Catalonia works a roof and a floor hard: sea air on the coast, a sharp swing between afternoon and night, and industrial towns that do not stop for a slow coating.
This one is roof waterproofing.
Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM is the spray coat on this roof, so the field and the details are one film.
Krypton Chemical makes the resin. The crew on site applies it. On Polinyà, Barcelona the details have to get the same film as the open field, and the cure has to finish before the building goes back to work.

02 · The challenge
What did this structure ask of the system?
A pool stays full. Chlorine, warm water and the steps where people stand all sit on one lining. The failure is almost never in the middle of the floor. It is at an outlet, a corner, or a joint someone left for later.
Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing has to be one film, taken around those details while the material can still do it.
03 · The solution
Which system was trusted here?
The system trusted here is the one named for the job: Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM. It is chosen because it matches the substrate and the exposure, not because every building wants the same can.
The build-up is there to survive the exposure this structure actually has, including the lines where workmanship usually goes thin.
04 · Application
How is the system built?
The products named for Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing are applied as one build-up, details before the field. Outlets, edges and changes of plane are closed first, with the same materials as the main area. A system that changes product at the difficult line is a system with a future peel.
The line is Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM. The deck is dry, the temperature is inside the range that product allows, and the next coat follows while the window is open. Leaving a detail for the following week is how these jobs come back.
On Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing the lining is under water for months at a time. Steps, skimmers and the floor-to-wall corner take the movement and the chlorine together. A joint left in one of those lines will open. The film has to turn the corner at the same build as the floor.
Old tile, where that is the substrate, is a special case. The glaze is a closed face. It is prepared until the resin has something to hold, and every loose tile is out before the primer. Encapsulating a drummy tile is how the lining comes back up in the first season.
Filling waits until the cure the product asks for, not until the pool looks finished. Early water is a soft film and a blister. The outlets are sprayed or rolled into the same film, not collared afterwards.
05 · Results
What does a job like this stand behind?
Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing has one standard. The coating is still doing its job after the building is back in use, at the details as well as in the middle.
Figures for cure, thickness and strength, where they are given, come from the product data sheets. They are not a test cut out of this building.
What this asks of Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing is workmanship at the difficult line. The open field is the easy part of a resin job. Outlets, edges, penetrations and changes of plane are where thickness goes missing, and where water or wear finds the gap. The same products and the same care belong there, and the cure is allowed to finish before the building goes back into use. That is the difference between a coating that was simply applied and a system that stays in service.

Frequently asked questions
Where is this project?
Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing. España – Cataluña
When was the work done?
2024.
Which products were used?
Impermax Polyurea H Flex ALUM.
Why are the details done first?
Outlets, upstands and joints are where water gets in. They are closed with the same system as the main area.
Where do the cure times come from?
From the product data sheet. They describe the resin, not a clock stopped on this site.
The programme does not change because the building is smaller or further away. Prepare the substrate until it will hold the system, close the details before the field, and keep the thickness honest at every edge. A second visit to repair a starved detail costs more than doing that detail on the first day. Polinyà, Barcelona: Roof waterproofing is held to that standard. Krypton Chemical supplies the resin. The applicator owns the surface.
