In Potchefstroom, intense sun and sudden thunderstorms can take a toll on buildings, causing roofs to leak and pools to crack if they’re not properly protected.

Water intrusion isn’t just an annoyance; it can lead to expensive damage like rotting wood, mold, and ruined interiors. Fortunately, modern solutions are at hand ,notably latex-based waterproofing paint that creates a flexible, rubberized seal to keep water out.
SUPA Rubber Potchefstroom specializes in this technology, offering an eco-friendly latex coating that forms a durable barrier on roofs, swimming pools, and other surfaces.
Protecting Your Roof from Leaks
Applying a latex-based rubber coating to a roof. Roofs are one of the most vulnerable parts of any building when it comes to water damage. Over time, sun exposure and rain can cause tiny cracks, gaps around screws, or deteriorating sealant on a roof ,all of which lead to leaks.
A coat of latex-based rubber paint effectively seals the roof by filling in hairline cracks and covering seams. Once cured, the rubber layer forms a continuous waterproof membrane with no gaps for water to sneak through.
This protective membrane stays intact through Potchefstroom’s blazing sun, heavy rain, and temperature swings. Unlike ordinary roof coatings that might become brittle, the SUPA Rubber layer remains tough and flexible even in extreme weather.
It’s highly UV-resistant and formulated for South Africa’s climate, so the highveld sun won’t break it down easily. In fact, applying this latex-based paint is like adding a 10+ year shield to your roof , it prevents leaks season after season with minimal upkeep.
Homeowners have reported that even after years of punishing sun and storms, their SUPA Rubber coating stays waterproof and intact. Thanks to its elasticity, the coating can flex with the roof during daily temperature changes while maintaining a watertight bond.

Waterproofing Swimming Pools and Ponds
Just as roofs keep water out, swimming pools (and garden ponds) need to keep water in. Even a small leak in a pool can lead to surprising water loss (and higher bills) over time. Latex-based waterproofing paint is a fantastic solution here because it creates a 100% waterproof, seamless liner inside the pool.
It’s like adding a flexible new skin that adheres to the pool’s concrete or fiberglass surface, sealing up any hairline cracks or tiny holes. The rubberized coating handles the constant pressure of water and slight ground movements without splitting or coming loose. It’s also formulated to resist pool chemicals ,even chlorine won’t cause it to peel or degrade.
Another advantage for pools and ponds is that the solution is safe. Once cured, the latex is non-toxic (no VOCs), which means it’s fish-friendly for pond life. The rubber finish is smooth with no rough seams, so algae has trouble clinging and the pool is easier to keep clean.
And just like a roof, you can choose a coating color that suits your style for example, a calming blue for a pool or an earthy tone for a pond.
With this latex-based coating, your pool essentially gains a durable inner shell that keeps the water where it belongs. Say goodbye to constantly refilling or patching leaks, the rubber seal holds water in place season after season. In the long run, that saves water (and money) and ensures your pool or water feature stays in top condition.

Key Technical Features of SUPA Rubber’s Waterproofing Paint
Easy Application & Fast Drying: SUPA Rubber’s coating goes on like regular paint (brush, roller, or spray) and typically dries within a few hours (fully cured in 24 -
48 hours).
Long Lifespan & Durability: A proper application creates a tough membrane that often lasts over a decade before needing major upkeep. (For best results, a refresher coat at around 5 years is recommended.) The rubber layer also resists cracking or peeling, so you won’t be re-waterproofing every season.
UV & Weather Resistant: The latex-based formula is UV-stabilized and built to endure tough weather conditions. Intense sun, heavy rains, and temperature extremes won’t easily degrade the coating, so it remains effective through hot summers and cold, wet winters.
