Quick answer: Choose your Rhinoluxe waterproofing product by the substrate you're sealing and the conditions it faces. Shield is the pure-acrylic everyday choice for roofs and walls. Megaflex is the cementitious crack-bridger for parapets and balconies. Fiber Coat adds fibre reinforcement for tensile-stressed concrete. Heat Reflect waterproofs AND reduces roof surface temperature in sun-exposed conditions.
Comparison table — Rhinoluxe waterproofing range
| Product | Type | Best for | Key strength |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shield | Pure-acrylic elastomeric | Roofs, walls, parapets in standard conditions | 100% waterproof, UV + salt-air resistant, 10-yr warranty |
| Megaflex | Cementitious membrane | Balconies, parapets, ridges with thermal movement | Crack-bridging on cement substrates |
| Fiber Coat | Fibre-reinforced acrylic | Concrete joints, detailing, tensile-stressed areas | Added tensile strength + moisture seal |
| Heat Reflect | Reflective roof coating | Sun-exposed roofs (Highveld, inland summers) | Waterproofs + reduces roof surface temperature |
Decision blocks — pick by scenario
Sealing a coastal home in Table View or Bloubergstrand? Salt air and UV are the enemy — Shield is formulated for exactly this, with UV-resistant resins and a 10-year warranty.
Cracking parapet, balcony or ridge? Movement cracks reopen under thermal stress — Megaflex's cementitious, crack-bridging membrane is built for it.
Roof running hot and pushing up indoor temperatures? Heat Reflect waterproofs and reflects solar heat in one coat — most relevant for Gauteng and inland summers.
Need extra tensile strength on detailed concrete work? Fiber Coat's fibre reinforcement handles joints and stress points.
Pick by substrate
- Cement / concrete roof tiles: Shield (or Heat Reflect if heat reduction is a priority)
- Fibre-cement sheeting: Shield
- IBR / corrugated metal: Shield over the appropriate primer; Heat Reflect for heat-sensitive applications
- Plastered walls (primed): Shield
- Parapets, balconies, structural movement zones: Megaflex
- Detailed concrete joints: Fiber Coat
- Flat concrete roofs: Shield (with Megaflex on movement joints)
How much do you need?
Shield covers approximately 6–8 m² per litre per coat. A two-coat application on a 100 m² roof needs roughly 25–35 litres total. For other products check the individual product page TDS — coverage varies by formulation.
