PRO Building Products: Complete Waterproofing, Construction & Surface Protection Solutions.

 

Proven Products You Can Count On

In construction, waterproofing and property maintenance, the quality of the finished result often depends on what happens before, during and after the application.

A waterproofing project may require more than a single coating. Surface preparation, primers, sealers, membranes, bonding products, drainage components and specialised treatments can all play an important role in creating a properly considered system.

That is why PRO Building Products has developed a diverse range of products designed to support contractors, builders, waterproofing specialists, maintenance teams and property owners across a wide variety of applications.

With the launch of the refreshed PRO Building Products website, customers can now explore the complete product range in one place and find products suited to different construction, waterproofing, sealing, preparation and maintenance requirements.

More Than Just Waterproofing

While waterproofing remains at the heart of the PRO Building Products brand, the current range extends well beyond traditional waterproofing coatings.

The product selection covers several important areas of construction and maintenance, including:

  • Waterproofing
  • Surface preparation
  • Priming
  • Bonding and sealing
  • Concrete and masonry protection
  • Roof protection
  • Rust and stain removal
  • Flooring applications
  • Drainage components
  • Painting and protective coatings
  • General building and maintenance applications

This broader approach means that customers can look at the requirements of the entire job, rather than focusing on one product in isolation.

FIBASEAL

FIBASEAL is part of the core waterproofing range and is presented as a flexible waterproofing and sealing solution.

It is suited to applications where a flexible protective layer is required across building surfaces.

BOND & SEAL

BOND & SEAL provides a versatile bonding and sealing solution for a variety of construction applications.

It is particularly useful where bonding, sealing and waterproofing requirements overlap.

FLASHCOAT

FLASHCOAT forms another important part of the flexible waterproofing range, providing a coating solution for applications where protection against water ingress and surface exposure is required.

PRO-FLEX LIQUID RUBBER

For flexible roof protection, PRO-FLEX Liquid Rubber provides a rubberised coating solution designed around roof waterproofing and protection.

WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE

For projects requiring a membrane-based approach, the PRO Building Products range also includes Waterproofing Membrane, giving contractors another option when specifying waterproofing systems.

WATERPROOFING SLURRY

The range also includes Waterproofing Slurry, providing a cementitious waterproofing option for suitable building applications.


Concrete, Masonry & Surface Protection

Not every building problem starts with the roof.

Concrete, masonry, brickwork and other porous building materials can require protection against moisture penetration, staining and environmental exposure.

PRO Building Products includes several products specifically positioned around these requirements.

CONCRETE & MASONRY SEALER

Designed around the protection of concrete and masonry surfaces, this product forms part of the range aimed at reducing the impact of moisture and environmental exposure.

FACE BRICK SEALER & ENHANCER

For exposed brickwork, Face Brick Sealer & Enhancer provides a dedicated product within the range.

One of the most important lessons in construction and maintenance is that preparation matters.

A coating or adhesive can only perform as intended when the surface beneath it is appropriately prepared.

GENERAL PURPOSE PRIMER

General Purpose Primer is designed to assist with surface preparation and adhesion across multiple applications.

For contractors, primers can be an important part of the overall system because they help create a suitable surface for subsequent products.

PRO BOND

Happy Spring Day! A New Season Is the Perfect Time to Start Your Repairs and Waterproofing.

 


Spring is here — and with it comes a fresh opportunity to get your home, building or property ready for the months ahead.

At Pro Building Products, we believe that spring is more than just a change in season. It is a new beginning — and the perfect time to tackle those repairs, maintenance projects and waterproofing jobs that may have been put off during winter.

🌱 A New Season Means a Fresh Start

Winter can be tough on buildings.

Rain, moisture, changing temperatures and prolonged exposure to the elements can reveal problems that may have gone unnoticed. Cracks, leaks, damp areas, deteriorating surfaces and damaged waterproofing can become bigger and more expensive problems if they are left unattended.

That makes spring the ideal time to inspect your property and start putting things right.

Don't wait for the next heavy rainfall to discover a problem. Start your repairs now.

πŸ’§ Make Waterproofing Part of Your Spring Maintenance

Waterproofing is an important part of protecting your property from moisture damage.

Whether you're dealing with a roof, parapet wall, flashing, concrete surface, cracks or other areas vulnerable to water penetration, the right waterproofing and sealing solution can help protect the surface and extend its service life.

Pro Building Products manufactures a range of waterproofing, sealing, bonding and surface-protection products designed for practical construction, maintenance and DIY applications. Our products are manufactured in South Africa and developed with South African conditions in mind.

🏠 What Should You Check This Spring?

Spring is a great time to walk around your property and look for signs that maintenance may be required.

Check your roof

Look for cracked areas, damaged coatings, deteriorating waterproofing, problem areas around flashing and other places where water could enter.

Inspect walls and surfaces

Keep an eye out for cracks, dampness, water marks, peeling coatings and areas where moisture may be penetrating.

Don't ignore small cracks

A small crack may seem harmless today, but water can find its way into vulnerable areas and potentially make the problem worse over time.

Check areas around gutters and drainage

Blocked or damaged drainage systems can contribute to unwanted water accumulation and increase the risk of water damage.

Plan your repairs before the rainy season

Completing maintenance and waterproofing while conditions are suitable can help you avoid rushing to repair leaks when the next major rainfall arrives.

πŸ› ️ The Right Product for the Right Job

Every repair is different, which is why choosing the appropriate product and preparing the surface correctly is important.

Pro Building Products offers a specialised range including Fibaseal, Flashcoat, Pro-Flex Liquid Rubber, Bond & Seal, Hydro ProSealant, Pro Bond, waterproofing membranes and other surface protection and maintenance products.

Whether you're a homeowner tackling a DIY project, a painter, contractor, builder or maintenance professional, our range is designed to provide practical solutions for a variety of construction and maintenance challenges.

πŸ‡ΏπŸ‡¦ Proudly South African. Built to Protect.

Since 2006, Pro Building Products has focused on developing and supplying products that help solve real-world construction, waterproofing, sealing and maintenance problems.

Our philosophy is simple:

Identify the problem. Choose the right solution. Protect your property.

This Spring Day, don't just celebrate a new season — make it the season you finally get those repairs done.

🌸 New season. New projects. New protection.
