Aquarium Build Phase

Waterproofing Services

AAT water-proofing protects living ecosystems as well as buildings.

We seal concrete structures with non-toxic and high-grade fibreglass reinforced polymers to create animal-safe and ultra durable habitats that don’t leak.

Seal it

    Never compromise on aquarium waterproofing.

    AAT’s waterproofing services provide a strong seal with outstanding longevity.

    Inert and non-toxic

    Harmless to animals and microorganisms

    Peace-of-mind

    We use only the best quality fibreglass reinforced polymer for an impervious finish with good crack spanning capacity.

    Multi-step application

    – Vinyl Ester Coating Application
    – Layers of Chop Strand Mat
    – Filler Coat Application
    – Flow Coat Application

    Concrete isn’t waterproof. AAT can help.

    Our waterproofing expertise includes sealing some of the world’s largest aquarium viewing panels and hydro-testing FRP tanks.
