Comprehensive Butynol Waterproofing Solutions for Roofs
Butynol waterproofing is a leading choice for ensuring your roof remains impermeable to water, providing long-lasting protection against leaks and moisture damage across New Zealand.
What is Butynol Waterproofing?
Butynol waterproofing is a synthetic rubber membrane system that has been trusted by New Zealand property owners for decades. Made from butyl rubber, this roofing solution is specifically engineered to provide exceptional waterproofing for flat and low-slope roofs commonly found on homes, commercial buildings, and industrial facilities throughout Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington, and beyond.
The Butynol membrane is applied directly to your roof substrate using a specialised adhesive system. Once installed, it forms a continuous, seamless barrier that prevents water penetration. This seamless application is one of Butynol's key advantages over other roofing materials that rely on overlapping sheets or tiles, which can create vulnerable points where leaks may develop over time.
Why Choose Butynol for Your Roof? Butynol's resistance to UV rays, ozone, weather extremes, and environmental pollutants makes it ideal for New Zealand's variable climate. From the humidity of Auckland to the harsh UV exposure in the South Island, Butynol roofing performs reliably year after year.

With proper installation and maintenance, a Butynol roof can last 20-30 years, making it an excellent long-term investment.

[email protected]Common Butynol Roofing Problems We Solve
Even the best roofing systems can develop issues over time. Here are the common problems we encounter and fix.
Seam Separation
Over time, adhesive bonds can weaken, causing seams to lift. We re-seal and reinforce all vulnerable seams.
Blistering
Trapped moisture or air can cause bubbles in the membrane. We remove blisters and patch the affected areas.
Ponding Water
Poor drainage leads to standing water that accelerates wear. We improve drainage and address low spots.
UV Degradation
Despite UV resistance, prolonged exposure can cause surface deterioration. We apply protective coatings.
Flashing Failures
Flashings around penetrations are common leak points. We replace and seal all flashing details.
Punctures & Tears
Foot traffic or debris can damage the membrane. We patch and reinforce damaged sections.
Butynol Roofing FAQs
How long does a butynol roof last in New Zealand?
A properly installed and maintained butynol roof typically lasts 20-30 years in New Zealand conditions. Regular inspections and prompt repairs can extend this lifespan significantly.
Is butynol roofing suitable for all flat roofs?
Yes, butynol is versatile and suitable for most flat and low-slope roofs. It works well on residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. We assess each roof individually to ensure butynol is the right solution.
Can butynol be installed over an existing roof?
In many cases, yes. If the existing substrate is sound, we can apply butynol directly over it. However, if there's significant damage or moisture, we may need to remove the old material first.
How does butynol compare to other flat roofing options?
Butynol offers excellent value for money, combining durability with cost-effectiveness. It's more affordable than many alternatives while providing superior waterproofing. TPO and EPDM are alternatives we can discuss based on your specific needs.
What maintenance does a butynol roof require?
Butynol roofs are low maintenance. We recommend annual inspections, keeping drains clear, removing debris, and addressing any damage promptly. Occasional cleaning helps maintain the membrane's UV resistance.
Do you provide warranties on butynol roofing?
Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the project scope—we'll discuss this during your consultation.
