Why Gurtex is the Smarter Choice

When building or renovating in Bali or elsewhere in Indonesia, waterproofing is not just an optional upgrade — it’s an essential part of protecting your investment. From private villas to commercial resorts, the intense tropical climate and environmental conditions demand robust and reliable waterproofing systems. At Gurtex Waterproofing, we specialize in cutting-edge hydro-isolation using our advanced Gurtex method — proven to stand up to Indonesia’s unique challenges.

Tropical Climate = Constant Moisture

Indonesia’s tropical climate means buildings are constantly exposed to:

• High humidity and rainfall, especially during the wet season
• Salt-laden air near the coastlines, which accelerates corrosion
• High UV exposure, degrading materials faster than in temperate climates

These conditions make water infiltration one of the most common — and costly — issues property owners face in Bali.

The Hidden Costs of Poor Waterproofing

Without proper waterproofing, water slowly penetrates your building’s structure, leading to:

• Structural damage (concrete cancer, rusting rebar)
• Mould and mildew growth, causing health risks
• Swelling and warping of interior finishes
• Leaks in roofs, bathrooms, pools, and balconies
• Major repair costs down the line

Waterproofing is often hidden behind tiles or concrete, but it’s the first line of defence — and neglecting it is a risk not worth taking.

Hydro-Isolation: More Than Just Waterproofing

Hydro-isolation is a more comprehensive term that refers to the complete sealing of surfaces to prevent water from entering or exiting unwanted areas. In Bali, hydro-isolation is critical for:

• Rooftop terraces and flat roofs
• Swimming pools and water features
• Bathrooms and wet rooms
• Basements and retaining walls

A truly effective system requires the right materials, correct application, and expert detailing — all of which are core to the Gurtex method.

What Makes the Gurtex Method Different?

At Gurtex Waterproofing, we use a multi-layered, flexible waterproofing membrane system designed for Indonesia’s tough conditions. Our method includes:

• Elastic, UV-resistant coatings
• Injection-based repairs for active leaks
• High-adherence primers and sealing products

We don’t just patch leaks — we solve the problem at its root and ensure it stays fixed.
