Recycled rubber waterproofing for flat roof / Suhaiza Ahmad Mahmod and Wan Akmal Zahri Wan Zaharuddin

Concrete is a popular construction material due to its ease of preparation, low cost, and minimal maintenance. Malaysia’s weather conditions, such as high winds, thunderstorms, hailstorms, and hot temperatures, can cause roof damage. Moss thrives in humid environments, and excessive rain and moisture can compromise the structural integrity of the material or surface of a roof. Hence, roof maintenance is crucial in preventing problems, restoring its quality, and extending its lifespan. The main goal of this study is to develop a recycled rubber waterproofing for flat roofs and assemble prototypes from the improvised designs. The objectives of the study are to demonstrate the performance of the recycled rubber waterproofing for flat roof prototype and showcase entrepreneurial skills in proposing the prototype to be marketable. The data collection involved is secondary data collection from a variety of sources: academic institutions, industry reports, published studies, databases, and literature review.
