Bitumen Membrane Waterproofing in Dubai & Across the UAE
Bitumen membrane waterproofing, also known as bituminous waterproofing, is a popular and time-tested method used across the UAE for protecting flat roofs, basements, and foundations.
At Salman Syed Technical Services, we install high-performance torch-applied membranes designed to withstand the region’s extreme heat and occasional storms, giving you durable, long-lasting protection.
Why Bituminous Waterproofing Still Works
Bituminous membrane systems form a continuous, joint-free barrier over concrete and metal surfaces. Once installed, they resist water penetration, UV rays, root growth, and structural movement, making them ideal for areas where moisture intrusion can cause structural damage, mold, or deterioration.
Because the UAE experiences intense solar exposure, our membranes are selected to handle thermal expansion and harsh weather cycles without blistering or peeling.
Best Applications for Bitumen Membrane Systems
Flat Roofs & Podiums
Ideal for roofs in villas, warehouses, and commercial buildings. Combines well with combo roof systems for insulation plus waterproofing.
Planters & Green Roofs
Bitumen’s root resistance and flexibility make it a strong choice for planter boxes and landscaping.
Basements & Foundations
Membranes protect below-grade walls from soil moisture and water pressure. Often paired with cementitious coatings for dual protection.
Bridge Decks & Industrial Slabs
Applied on horizontal surfaces that need heavy-duty waterproofing with thermal resistance.
Wet Area Substructures
Used beneath bathrooms, kitchens, or plant rooms as a secondary layer before tile or screed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the cost of bituminous membrane waterproofing?
Prices range between AED 45–75 per sqm depending on thickness, surface condition, and access.
How long does a bitumen membrane last?
With proper application, it lasts 5–10 years. Lifespan depends on exposure and maintenance.
Can it be applied on existing tiles or waterproofing?
Not recommended. We remove old layers, clean, and prepare the substrate for fresh bonding.
Is this method good for waterproofing roofs?
Yes. It’s one of the most commonly used methods in the UAE for flat roof waterproofing.
Can bituminous waterproofing be used with insulation?
Absolutely. It can be paired with thermal boards for combo or inverted roof systems.
