Frequently Asked Questions

Morcem® Elastic PM is a single-component polyurethane liquid membrane that cures to form a seamless, highly elastic waterproof coating ideal for terraces and exposed applications. Morcem® Dry products are cementitious waterproofing compounds designed for under-tile applications in bathrooms and wet areas. The choice depends on whether the surface will be exposed or covered with tiles.

Morcem® Elastic PM can be applied over properly prepared existing tiles for terrace and balcony refurbishment without demolition. The surface must be cleaned, degreased, and any loose tiles secured. This provides a cost-effective renovation solution. For bathroom renovations, complete tile removal is typically recommended for best results.

Morcem® Dry products typically allow tiling after 24-48 hours depending on temperature and humidity. Morcem® Dry Fix, the dual-function product, is ready for tiling in similar timeframes. Always verify full cure by checking the surface is uniform in color without tacky areas. In UAE summer conditions, curing may accelerate but minimum wait times should still be observed.

Yes, the Drypool integrated system includes Puma waterproofing components specifically designed for pool shells. This system combines compatible primers, waterproof membranes, adhesives, and grouts tested together for permanent water immersion. The complete system approach eliminates compatibility issues that can cause pool waterproofing failures.

Coverage varies by product and application. Morcem® Elastic PM typically covers 1.0-1.5 kg/m² per coat with two coats recommended. Morcem® Dry products generally require 2-3 kg/m² depending on substrate porosity. Detailed technical data sheets provide specific coverage rates, and our team can help calculate quantities for your project.

Yes, Morcem® Elastic PM is formulated with UV stabilizers for permanent exposure on terraces, balconies, and roof decks. The polyurethane chemistry provides excellent weather resistance and maintains flexibility through thermal cycling. Available in multiple colors for aesthetic terrace finishes without requiring tile or paint overlay.

Morcem® Dry Fix is a dual-function cementitious product that provides waterproofing while serving as a tile adhesive. Applied in a single operation, it waterproofs the substrate and allows direct tile installation without a separate adhesive layer. This reduces installation steps and time while ensuring compatibility between waterproofing and adhesive.

Absolutely. Lapiz Blue technical team offers comprehensive waterproofing consultation including system selection for specific applications, coverage calculations, application guidance, and specification support. We can recommend the appropriate Puma waterproofing system based on your project requirements, substrate conditions, and exposure environment.

Morcem® Elastic PM Technology

Morcem® Elastic PM represents Grupo Puma's advanced polyurethane liquid membrane technology. This single-component product cures by moisture reaction to form a seamless, highly elastic waterproof coating. The formulation includes UV stabilizers for permanent exposure applications and maintains flexibility through extreme temperature variations. Applied by roller or spray, Elastic PM creates monolithic coverage without joints or seams that can become weak points.

Morcem® Dry Cementitious Range

The Morcem® Dry range provides cementitious waterproofing solutions for various construction scenarios. Morcem® Dry Flex offers flexible waterproofing for bathrooms and wet areas with excellent crack-bridging capability. Morcem® Dry SF Plus delivers resistance to negative water pressure for basement applications. These products integrate seamlessly with Puma tile adhesives for reliable wet area construction.

Dual-Function Morcem® Dry Fix

Morcem® Dry Fix exemplifies Puma's integrated system philosophy by combining waterproofing and tile adhesive functions in a single product. Applied once, it waterproofs the substrate while providing the bonding layer for tile installation. This approach reduces application steps, eliminates compatibility concerns between separate products, and accelerates project timelines without compromising performance.

Impernet® Bituminous Systems

For heavy-duty waterproofing applications, the Impernet® range provides bituminous solutions proven in demanding environments. These products suit below-grade applications, flat roofs, and areas requiring robust protection against hydrostatic pressure. The bituminous chemistry offers excellent adhesion to concrete substrates and long-term durability in buried or exposed conditions.

Drypool Integration

Puma waterproofing products form an essential part of the Drypool swimming pool installation system. The integrated approach ensures all components - waterproofing, adhesives, and grouts - are tested together for compatibility in permanently submerged conditions. This system engineering eliminates the finger-pointing that can occur when different manufacturers' products are combined on pool projects.

UAE Climate Adaptation

Puma waterproofing products distributed through Lapiz Blue address specific challenges of UAE construction. Formulations account for rapid moisture loss during application in hot conditions. UV-resistant versions withstand intense solar exposure on terraces and roofs. The products maintain performance through thermal cycling between air-conditioned interiors and sun-heated exteriors common in Gulf buildings.

Application Best Practices

Successful waterproofing installation requires attention to substrate preparation, environmental conditions, and proper technique. Puma provides detailed application guidelines for each product, and Lapiz Blue technical support can advise on specific project conditions. Key factors include surface cleanliness, appropriate primer selection, reinforcement of corners and penetrations, and observance of curing times before subsequent operations.
