🛠️ Systems & Products
What's the difference between waterproof paint and waterproof coating?
They are NOT the same thing. Waterproof paint is a 0.05mm thin film that lasts 2–5 years. Waterproof coating (polyurethane) is a 0.8–1.2mm elastic membrane that lasts 15–25 years. Full comparison →
Polyurethane or bitumen — which is better for Ghana?
Polyurethane wins for Ghana in almost every scenario. Bitumen softens above 55°C (Ghana's roofs hit 65–75°C in dry season), has a 10–15 year lifespan, and cracks under thermal cycling. Polyurethane resists UV, stays flexible, and lasts 15–25 years. Full comparison →
What's Plugging King and when do I use it?
Plugging King is instant leak-stop powder that sets in 15 seconds — even underwater. Use it for actively flowing leaks before you can apply polyurethane coating. GHS 100 per bag. See product →
🔧 Installation & DIY
Can I apply polyurethane waterproof coating myself?
Yes — it's a single-component ready-to-use coating. No mixing, no primer. Apply by brush or roller. Complete step-by-step DIY guide →
How long does polyurethane coating take to dry?
Touch-dry in 2–4 hours. Fully cured in 24–48 hours. Do NOT expose to rain during curing.
Can I apply waterproof coating to a wet surface?
No. Polyurethane will NOT bond to a wet or flowing surface. Stop active leaks first with Plugging King (sets underwater in 15 seconds), wait for the patch to cure, then apply the coating.
🌧️ Emergencies & Repairs
