  2. Cracks due to thermal movementTemperature changes cause expansion and contraction of the materials, which generates cracks in the surfaces.
  3. Wear and tear due to UV rays and extreme weatherContinuous exposure to sun, wind and rain deteriorates materials, reducing their useful life.
  4. Constant and costly maintenanceTraditional solutions, such as replacing damaged waterproofing, require time and recurring resources.
