Since 1978, really?

Yes. Lava 20’s story reaches back nearly five decades, with deep roots in European waterproofing.

But proven performance begins with the people who prepare every surface, reinforce every detail, and apply every layer correctly.

Labor is the first layer of strength. This Labor Day, we honor the skilled professionals helping us build stronger waterproofing systems.

Before every lasting roof, there are skilled hands making sure every detail is done right.

Today, we recognize the roofers, waterproofers, contractors, and crews whose knowledge and hard work turn advanced materials into dependable protection.

Because before every system, every membrane, and every finish—

Labor is the first layer.

Happy Labor Day from Olmeck.

The work below is still in progress. The protection above is already doing its job.

The details matter long after the crew leaves the jobsite.

Built to protect what’s underneath.

Same building. Same balcony. Two very different outcomes.

Sometimes the best way to explain a system is simply to see it.

On the right: the balcony before. Bare concrete, exposed and unfinished.

On the left: the finished balcony with the Lava 20 Decking System! Creating a seamless, durable, waterproof surface built to handle the elements and everyday foot traffic.

Waterproof. Durable. Seamless.
Built to last.

What exactly is polyurethane?

Chances are you've come across it without even knowing. You may have walked on it, driven over it, or relied on it to keep a building dry.

Polyurethane starts as a liquid and cures into a tough, flexible, waterproof layer. That's why it's trusted to protect everything from commercial buildings to the infrastructure we use every day.

Curious how it works? We put together a simple guide that explains what polyurethane is, how it works, and why it's used.
