How can you improve roof waterproofing? What should you do about cracks in your walls? And which finishing materials are best for your home’s reinforced security room (Mamad)? The experts at B.G. Bond have all the answers, tips, and recommendations you need.

For effective and proper waterproofing of walls and floors in spaces with constant water exposure, such as bathrooms, durable and high-quality materials are essential to ensure long-lasting protection.

When renovating or constructing new flooring and wall coverings with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, or marble tiles, it is essential not to compromise on the type and quality of the adhesive. The role of tile adhesive is to ensure strong and secure bonding of the tiles to the substrate, preventing movement or detachment. In addition, the adhesive must provide long-term durability under heavy loads and resistance to water, sunlight, and extreme temperature fluctuations.

 

The choice of adhesive is determined according to the relevant Israeli Standards (1555/2378/5566), which specify the appropriate adhesive type based on various factors such as tile type and size, substrate, installation height, and more.

 

The preferred choice among professionals is BG63 – a flexible, improved cement-based adhesive designed for installing porcelain, ceramic, stone, marble, and mosaic tiles. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use and carries the Israeli Standard certification.

Start by identifying the type of waterproofing currently on the roof—bitumen sheets, tar, or an acrylic or polyurethane coating. Keep in mind that tar-based waterproofing requires frequent maintenance. Since it’s black, it absorbs a lot of heat, which can reduce its long-term effectiveness. To maintain performance, the tar layer should be regularly treated and whitened. Without proper upkeep, you risk leaks in winter and excessive heat buildup in summer.  

For Easy Roof Maintenance, you can rely on BG Bond’s range of acrylic waterproofing and reflective coatings:

BG GLU – A flexible acrylic UV-resistant coating that helps reduce solar absorption in summer, thereby lowering heat load inside the building. Designed for high-quality waterproofing of flat roofs, asbestos roofs, tiled roofs, and more. Available in white, terracotta, red, and gray.

BG Roof (+) – A fiber-reinforced flexible acrylic coating for waterproofing and reflective treatment of roofs, including concrete, bituminous membranes, and asbestos sheets.

The weak points of any structure are typically its seams, corners, and cracks. In condominiums or shared buildings where cracks are hard to reach, the only option is to seal them from the outside using specialized rappelling services. For accessible cracks, sealing is recommended using bituminous pastes like BG Seal 282 or BG Readyflex 272, or cement-based sealants such as BG Flexseal 162 or BG Readytop 701.

Moisture issues around windows often result from poor sealing, especially along the seams between the frame and the wall. To prevent water ingress, it’s essential to properly seal the perimeter of the opening, particularly around bolts and joints. BG Bond offers a range of silicones and mastics designed for sealing openings, grooves, and cracks: 

  • BG SUPER – High-strength, neutral-cure silicone with advanced adhesion technology; non-staining and safe for use on metals.
  • BG PU40 – Polyurethane mastic for sealing and filling joints, holes, and cracks.
  • BG 103 – Neutral silicone for effective sealing and bonding, safe for use on metal surfaces.
  • BG 203 – Highly flexible acrylic mastic for filling and sealing gaps.

Cracks that allow water to penetrate concrete can lead to corrosion of the reinforcement and compromise structural stability. It’s essential to treat these issues promptly with professional repair and sealing solutions that provide multidirectional protection against water pressure. BG Bond offers:

  • BG Repaircrete 305 – A high-strength cementitious mortar for concrete repair and renewal.
  • BG Armorseal 340 – A durable, cement-based mortar designed for long-lasting structural reinforcement and sealing.

The crystalline sealing technology offers effective solutions for sealing concrete in new and existing structures. It is regarded as truly revolutionary in the world of sealing, replacing the conventional sealing technique. This sealing method bridges cracks in the concrete of up to 0.5 mm., withstands a hydrostatic pressure of up to 140 mm., provides the concrete with positive and negative sealing, reduces concrete cracking and shrinkage, withstands water-borne chemicals, protects the concrete and reinforcement iron even in hostile environments, and significantly cuts construction schedules.

 

 BG Bond is the exclusive distributor of Kryton’s crystalline sealing products in Israel.

 

Kryton, a Canadian company, has developed a range of concrete additives that trigger a chemical reaction upon contact with water or moisture. This reaction forms long, needle-like crystals that penetrate and seal pores, capillaries, and micro-cracks within the concrete mass. When the concrete dries, the additives become dormant—reactivating automatically if moisture reappears, ensuring ongoing protection.

 

The products are suitable for use in new or existing structures - in shafts, foundations, basement/underground car park floors and walls, swimming pools, water reservoirs, various water installations and even in transport tunnels
