Waterproofing system selection in the flat roof construction

The walls and roof of a building are designed to endure wind, heat, cold, and precipitation, and a building's roof influences building steadiness and comfort. Flat roofs are popular in Malaysia because they make a home appear more modern and elegant. Consequently, the problems that arise if the quality of roof leaks, connection deficiencies, and reduced usage of waterproofing systems on the roof. If the problem is not highlighted, there is a possibility that the roof, ceiling, and water will absorb the structures. This study aims to identify the best type of waterproofing system for flat roof construction by analysing the factors that influence the selection of waterproofing systems. This study identify the different types of waterproofing system applied for flat roof construction and the factors outlined in choosing the best type of waterproofing are durability, economical, environmental and performance. The questionnaire assessing the knowledge about the waterproof systems on the building's roof represents the scope of the study. This study gathered information from grade G7 contractors in building construction and specialising in waterproofing installation (808) regarding the best waterproofing systems for flat roof construction. Due to Malaysia's proximity to the equator, where weather and temperature variations are occasionally rainy and warm, every structure should examine the considerations involved in choosing a waterproofing system for flat roof construction.
