Inverted roofs
The membrane sits directly on the roof deck, with insulation laid above it. The insulation shields the membrane from heat, UV and foot traffic, which helps it last longer.
Roof waterproofing in Dubai
A roof in the UAE takes more punishment than almost anywhere: dark roofs can reach 80°C in the sun, UV is intense, and a sudden storm tests every seam. Since 1986 we have designed and installed roofing systems for residential, commercial and industrial buildings across the UAE.

Roof waterproofing
Roof systems we install
Since 1986, Western International has completed more than 2,500 projects across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Conventional roofs
The insulation sits below the membrane, which forms the exposed waterproof layer of the roof.
Built-up roofing
Multiple layers of bituminous membrane bonded together into a robust, proven roof covering.
Green roofs and water retention
Root-resistant waterproofing and anti-root HDPE protection boards beneath planting, with water retention systems.
Roof repairs and retrofit
Expert repairs and retrofits that extend the life and improve the performance of existing roofs.
Reflective, recycled roofing
Leadax Roov, an off-white membrane made from recycled PVB that reflects sunlight and is applied without open fire.

Questions
Roof waterproofing: common questions
Which roof waterproofing system is right for my building?
It depends on how the roof is used, the structure, access for maintenance and the design life you need. Inverted roofs suit podiums and terraces where the membrane needs protection, while exposed membranes suit roofs with little foot traffic. Send us the drawings or describe the roof and we will recommend a system.
Can you repair a leaking roof that another company installed?
Yes. We carry out roof repairs and retrofits on existing roofs, and our maintenance contracts cover any system, whether or not we installed it.
Do you offer a cooler, reflective roof membrane?
Yes. Leadax Roov is a reflective off-white membrane made from recycled PVB. Black bitumen roofs can reach 80°C in the sun, while a reflective roof keeps the building below it cooler.
