As the rainy season approaches, many homeowners often begin to inspect their homes to prepare for the problems that arise every year, such as cracked walls, leaks, mold growth, or even heat accumulation from sunlight that causes dampness and deterioration inside the house faster than it should. Most of these issues stem from roofing and deck surfaces that are not adequately protected. One effective and popular preventive measure today is to choose waterproof paint that has comprehensive properties, including leak prevention, heat reduction, and enhancing the durability of the structure in one step. This article will introduce you to 2 standout products from Beger, which have been developed specifically to address leak and heat issues while also providing protection for homes against heavy rain and extreme heat in the long term.
Introducing 2 high-quality waterproof paints from Beger
First, it should be noted that waterproof paints are divided into 3 main types, differing based on the components of the waterproof paint: Acrylic waterproof paint, Polyurethane waterproof paint (PU), and Polyurethane Hybrid waterproof paint.
The two standout products areBeger Roof Guard W-001which is developed from high-quality acrylic, a material favored by professional craftsmen due to its properties in preventing water seepage into surfaces, weather resistance, flexibility of the paint film, and effectiveness in reducing heat. Additionally, it offers good value for the performance received.
Meanwhile,Beger RoofSeal Coolis an advanced innovation in the Polyurethane Hybrid category, developed to have even more outstanding properties with Graphene technology that effectively enhances the strength and flexibility of the paint film, combined with Ceramic Cooling innovation that can reflect heat rays up to 97%, significantly reducing the accumulated temperature on surfaces.
Both products are classified as high-quality waterproof paints and have received industrial standards certification (TIS), including TIS 2321-2564 for weather-resistant emulsion paint and TIS 2514-2564 for emulsion paint that reduces heat from sunlight, thus providing confidence in quality, durability, and long-term performance.

Where can waterproof paint be used?
Waterproof paint is often understood to be used only for decks, roofs, and walls, but in reality, it can be applied to various surfaces, including:
- Decks and concrete floors
- Metal roofs, such as metal sheets
- Tile roofs, such as double-curved tiles and Monier tiles
- Balconies and concrete gutters
- Masonry bricks and block bricks
- Wood panels, fences, and synthetic wood
- Asphalt Rubber Flooring
helps enhance flexibility in use while providing comprehensive surface protection in various areas of the building.
Things to Know Before Applying Waterproof Paint
In addition to choosing a quality waterproof paint, properly preparing the surface is a crucial step that should not be overlooked. The surface must be dry, clean, and free from dirt. If there is any deteriorated or peeling old paint film, it should be completely scraped off. In cases of mold or algae, it should be cleaned with a mold-killing agent such as Beger MouldFree M-001
For cracks or fissures, it is recommended to fill them with Beger Sealant by selecting the type of sealant appropriate for the size of the crack before proceeding to the priming and top-coating with waterproof paint. In the case of old concrete surfaces, a high-moisture-resistant primer such as Beger Pro Quick Primer B-1900 should be used to enhance adhesion and surface protection before applying the waterproof paint. Additionally, during the waterproof paint application, laying down Fiber Mesh is another important step as it helps reinforce strength, increases adhesion to the surface, and effectively extends the lifespan of the waterproofing system.
