Nitoproof RS*▲ constructive solutions

The cost effective liquid applied acrylic
waterproofing for the protection, repair and
restoration of all types of roofs, gutters and
structures.
Its total weather resistance – to sun, rain, wind or frost
makes it equally effective on most building surfaces. Its
micro-porosity which, keeps water out but allows water

Uses vapour to escape through it, allows structures to dry out

Nitoproof RS is an all round waterproofing and weather naturally after treatment.

proofing membrane for old or new roofs, gutters, and Nitoproof RS is based on naturally elastic polymers thus
