Geodesic Dome Sealing with SANI-TRED®: The Ultimate Waterproofing Solution
Geodesic domes present unique challenges when it comes to waterproofing due to their complex structures and the numerous seams that can become vulnerable to leaks. However, with SANI-TRED’s advanced sealing system, you can ensure long-lasting, flexible, and durable protection for your geodesic dome. Whether it’s a small residential dome or a large commercial structure, SANI-TRED provides a seamless, watertight solution that extends the lifespan of your dome while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Why Choose SANI-TRED for Geodesic Dome Sealing?
Superior Waterproofing Technology
SANI-TRED’s innovative system utilizes Flexible Penetration Technology™ and Elongation Memory™ to provide geodesic domes with an impenetrable, flexible waterproof barrier. Unlike traditional sealants that can crack and degrade over time, SANI-TRED remains flexible, allowing it to move with the natural expansion and contraction of the dome without compromising its waterproofing capabilities.
Durable and Long-Lasting Protection
The unique formulation of SANI-TRED products creates a bond that strengthens with time. Whether you’re sealing the intricate joints of your geodesic dome or the larger surfaces, SANI-TRED’s coatings ensure a durable seal that stands up to harsh weather conditions, UV exposure, and daily wear.
Flexible Application Across Surfaces
SANI-TRED can be applied to various substrates, including wood, metal, and concrete, making it ideal for domes made from different materials. It provides a uniform, monolithic seal that ensures no weak points or seams, which are often the primary sources of leaks in geodesic dome structures.
Step-by-Step Geodesic Dome Sealing with SANI-TRED
Step 1: Surface Preparation Begin by cleaning the dome surface to remove any dirt, debris, or old coatings. Proper surface preparation is key to ensuring maximum adhesion and waterproofing performance.
Step 2: Primer Application (PermaFlex) Apply a coat of PermaFlex, SANI-TRED’s base product, to prime the surface. This coat penetrates the pores of the material, creating a permanent bond that locks the sealant in place.
Step 3: Crack Filling and Joint Sealing (LRB/TAV) Use the LRB (Liquid Rubber Base) mixed with TAV (Thickening Activator) to fill any gaps, cracks, or joints in the dome structure. This mixture forms a thick, caulk-like consistency that ensures no water can penetrate these vulnerable areas.
Step 4: Topcoat Application Once the primer and sealing have been completed, apply a second coat of PermaFlex to provide a smooth, watertight finish across the entire surface of the dome. This layer offers additional protection against UV rays, extreme temperatures, and weather-related damage.
