At Avello Group, our mission is to paint, protect, and preserve your assets, and elastomeric membrane coatings are one of the most effective ways we help future-proof your property’s exterior. When managing commercial, strata, or multi-site facilities, it's critical to invest in coatings that deliver more than just aesthetics. Elastomeric membranes provide long-term protection against the harshest conditions, without compromising appearance.
Here’s why more facility managers and property professionals are specifying elastomeric membranes for large-scale repainting projects:
Built-In Waterproofing & Moisture Control
The Elastomeric coating creates a flexible, waterproof seal over the building render and concrete facade surfaces, making them ideal for large structures. They:
- Prevent rain and water ingress
- Seal hairline cracks and surface voids
- Designed to withstand sun, rain, and temperature fluctuations without degrading.
Exceptional Crack Bridging
Buildings move, whether from seasonal temperature changes, structural settling, or surrounding activity, movement is unavoidable. Elastomeric membranes adapt with:
- Elasticity that expands/contracts with the substrate
- Coverage of hairline cracks up to 1.5mm
- No flaking or peeling, even under stress
Long-Term Durability in Harsh Conditions
From Melbourne's fluctuating weather to coastal winds, elastomeric coatings are engineered to last:
- Outstanding resistance to UV, pollution, salt air, and chemicals
- Proven performance in high-traffic urban and coastal areas
- Retains colour and finish for 10+ years with proper care
Breathability Without Compromising Seal
A breathable system is essential. Elastomeric membranes:
- Allow moisture vapour to escape from within walls
- Prevent bubbling, blistering, and mould growth caused by trapped dampness
Added Structural Protection
More than just paint, elastomeric membranes act as a protective skin:
- Shield against carbonation and efflorescence
- Protect steel reinforcement and prevent concrete corrosion
- Reduce the risk of ongoing structural repair costs
Cost Efficiency Over the Building’s Lifecycle
A smart coating today prevents a costly repaint tomorrow:
- Extends repaint cycles significantly
- Minimises crack repair and sealing costs
- Provides a stronger return on investment for facility budgets
Natural Resistance to Mould & Algae
Ideal for shaded areas and humid climates, these coatings often contain integrated fungicides and algaecides, perfect for:
- Schools, hospitals, and aged care
- South-facing or tree-covered facades
Versatility Across Surface Types
Elastomeric membranes bond seamlessly to:
- Masonry, concrete, brickwork, rendered surfaces
- Pre-painted substrates and previously repaired areas
- Delivering an even, professional finish across textured or porous surfaces
Aesthetic Flexibility for Any Design
Whether you're modernising a high-rise or restoring a heritage building, elastomeric membranes:
- Come in a wide range of colours and gloss levels
- Maintain their fresh, vibrant finish longer than standard paints
- Help create a clean, cohesive look for high-visibility assets
Safe, Sustainable, and Specification-Ready
Elastomeric coatings align with modern environmental and safety standards:
- Low-VOC and non-toxic formulations
- Support sustainability goals and reduce energy load by insulating exteriors
- Compliant with green building codes and ideal for sensitive environments
Whether you're managing a Strata building, commercial building, or multi-site facility, specifying elastomeric membrane coatings is a proactive move that pays off over time.
