Liquid applied membrane: These are liquid waterproofing products that are applied as a liquid and then cured to form a waterproof barrier. They can be used on various surfaces such as concrete, wood, metal, etc. and can withstand cold temperatures.
Insulation: Insulation is not a waterproofing material per se, however, it plays a vital role in preventing water from penetrating the building’s structure. Insulation is used to prevent heat loss and keep the building warm and dry, which in turn helps to prevent the formation of ice dams and keep water from penetrating the building’s structure.
It's important to note that it's not just the material, but also the installation that matters. It's important to have a professional install the waterproofing material properly, following the manufacturer's instructions and local building codes. This will ensure that the waterproofing will work correctly, even in the harsh Canadian weather.
