Environmentally Safe Waterproofing with FEW Waterproofing Melbourne

Waterproofing "Skyspace" at the National Gallery Canberra

Paul Evans, director of FEW, knew he was in for a challenge when FEW was subcontracted as the specialist waterproofing applicator for the National Gallery of Australia's major new acquisition - the monumental 'Skyspace' installation by renowned American artist James Turrell.

This is one of Turrell's most complex Skyspaces - the largest in the southern hemisphere as well as becoming the National Gallery's largest work of art.

Based on extensive experience and knowledge, Paul knew that Liquid Rubber (LR) Zavlar™ was the best product for the project. FEW are certified specialist LR applicators and have years of experience in cold spray application of the solvent free Zavlar™ membrane. The instant set capabilities enable shorter windows of opportunity to carry out applications and provide a totally slump free system for horizontal or vertical surfaces.

All Liquid Rubber products are environmentally safe protective coatings providing a strong, flexible, seamless membrane with superior adhesion protecting structures from the harmful effects of water, chemical and bacterial attack. The products consist of stable, non toxic odourless and non-flammable liquid components.

With no primers required, an elasticity of 1100%, a memory of 95%, no need for flames or heat and coverage of up to 1000 square metres per day, Liquid Rubber offers exceptional value for money.
