RedGard Outperforms Competition on Stated Coverage Accuracy,
Delivering Best Value
CUSTOM’s RedGard Waterproofing and Crack Prevention Membrane is the
only product reviewed that achieved its stated coverage, within ordinary
tolerances, when tested. All other products reviewed under-performed by
20% or more. Some membranes tested covered less than 50% of the square
footage claimed by the manufacturer.
Each product was tested three times on a variety of porous and nonporous
surfaces and an average was taken for the final result. Each product was
spread to the recommended mil thickness as directed by the manufacturer
and thickness was tested at Intertek’s laboratory for accuracy.
Conclusion: Cost per square foot directly correlates to stated coverage.
These results prove that compared to the other products, RedGard provides
the best value. Contractors and design professionals can bid on a project
with confidence knowing RedGard’s stated coverage is accurate, within
ordinary tolerances.
