Electrically conductive contacts or an electrically conductive layer are essential for ensuring the watertightness of roofs and protecting against damage to the waterproofing membrane. This type of system allows for monitoring and detection of leaks or damage to the waterproofing, which can help reduce the risk of potential roofing issues.

Some key advantages of installing an electrically conductive contact layer under the waterproofing include:

• Early detection of problems
• Improved reliability
• Easy monitoring
• Precision in locating issues
• Prevention of unnecessary costs

Implementing an electrically conductive system requires professional expertise and proper installation. Additionally, it is necessary to consider local building codes and guidelines and consult with an experienced engineer or construction contractor for proper planning and execution of the electrically conductive contact system.

ADVANTAGES OF USING AN ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE BASE:

• The ability to detect and repair faults before actual leakage occurs (before water penetrates the roof structure). Most damage happens during construction when many contractors are on the roof; most of this damage goes unnoticed and unrepaired, and leaks may only become visible after some time when water finds the easiest way out.
• Maintaining planned energy efficiency is only possible if the thermal insulation is dry and can perform its function. If the thermal insulation is wet, energy consumption can increase by 50% or more.
• It can be used on various types of roofs and under different membranes and is also used in other structures such as swimming pools, water reservoirs, underground parking garages, etc.
