About Axter
Axter is a company waterproofing membrane manufacturer based in Paris (Île-de-France). Its activity focuses on its bituminous and synthetic membranes for roofs.
Seals and joints are the weak points of any envelope: they absorb movement, temperature change and vibration. Choosing a sealant for its modulus, adhesion and durability — not only its colour — extends the life of the assembly. On facades and roofs, periodically checking joints and junctions catches incipient cracks before they become leaks.
In refurbishment, diagnosing the source of damp before waterproofing is essential: sealing a plumbing leak or condensation with a membrane does not solve the problem and can make it worse. A prior damp survey, even if it delays the works, avoids useless and costly interventions.
