Five Ways to Accelerate Construction

GCP Applied Technologies

For example, waterproofing on decks has often been done using open flames (aka hot applied approach), and this requires additional permitting in some regions. That's one reason why many waterproofing applicators have switched from hot-applied products to cold-applied liquid waterproofing. Liquid waterproofing.
