The Process

See Archi Shield in action

Watch how the membrane is prepared and sprayed on site, from bare surface to finished, flood-tested membrane.

Step by step

Three stages, one continuous membrane

01 · Surface Prep

The surface is cleared, cleaned and prepared so the primer bonds properly — this step decides how well everything after it holds.

02 · Spray Application

Primer goes down first, then the polyurea membrane is sprayed on as a single, seamless, continuous layer — no joints, no seams.

03 · Topcoat & Testing

A protective topcoat is applied, and the area is flood-tested before hand-over, so you know it holds before we leave site.

Surface Preparation

Different surfaces, different prep

Metal

A primer formulated with acidic compounds and zinc. The acid gently etches the surface while zinc penetrates the substrate, forming physical and chemical bonds that resist corrosion.

Concrete

A crack-penetrating repair agent restores internal defects before the coating goes on — addressing structural issues a surface coating alone can't fix.

TPO Membrane

A three-step process: an adhesive and surface treatment to eliminate pores, a specialized primer for chemical bonding strength, then the topcoat for a durable, well-adhered finish.

Archi Shield also bonds to marble, tile, glass, ceramic, urethane foam, PVC, wood, styrofoam, sandwich panels, plastic, and gypsum board — each with its own compatible primer.

The System

A four-layer system

1 · Substrate

The foundational structure — repaired and leveled first if needed.

2 · Primer

An adhesion-promoting layer bonding the substrate to the Archi Shield coating.

3 · Archi Shield

The core waterproofing and protective layer — durable and fast-curing.

4 · Topcoat

Optional UV-resistant, color-protective finish for surfaces exposed to sunlight or weathering.

Equipment

Applied with precision

On-site

What a real application looks like

The membrane cures fast — the area is typically back in service in as little as 24 hours, with no cracking across a wide temperature range.
