The biggest green building trend in the commercial market is taking place on the rooftops. Green trends are also driving demand for cool roofs, reflective roofs, and green (vegetative) roofs. Across all segments of the waterproofing industry, green waterproofing products— meaning those that are recyclable, low-VOC, or rubber/polymer-based instead of asphalt/solvent based—are doing relatively better. The growing emphasis on long-term, life-cycle costs is favorable to waterproofing contractors who focus on quality and craftsmanship, and the green/sustainable building movement will give environmentally-friendly products an edge. There is a potential market of considerable backlog of waterproofing work that’s been deferred during the recession or past years, as well as significant chunk of replacement work is required in already constructed building structures.
