Berger Paints — Waterproofing Problem & System Guide

Berger's current ecosystem spans exterior Weathercoat paints and dedicated HomeShield waterproofing products. The two categories are intentionally kept separate so a decorative exterior topcoat is not presented as a substitute for a waterproofing membrane/system.

Start with the problem

Exterior wall weathering

DustRainAlgae/Fungus

Shortlist Weathercoat variants according to weather, dust, finish and crack requirements.

Exterior dampness

Damp wallPrimer

Consider the dedicated HomeShield damp-blocking layer before selecting the exterior topcoat.

Terrace / roof seepage

MembraneCrack bridgingUV

Compare Roof Guard, PU Roofkoat, Roof Kool & Seal PU, Ultraseal BA and other exact systems according to substrate and exposure.

Bathroom / wet area

2KCementitious

HomeShield Wall Shield 2K is a dedicated waterproof slurry system; do not substitute an exterior wall emulsion.

Water tank

Potable water area2K

HomeShield Tankshield PW is a two-component polymer-modified cementitious waterproof slurry for concrete/mortar.

Concrete repair / joints

GroutRepair

Use dedicated repair/grout systems where the issue is joint filling or structural-surface repair rather than paint-film failure.
