Since 1978 Arabian Gulf Associates has proved its impact
in the market with its waterproofing services throughout
the Kingdom of Bahrain. From its inception AGA has
specialized in different types of waterproofing solutions &
weather protection systems for all types of structures.
AGA is a local based company that specializes in the
application of a variety of weather proof systems, which
include torch applied modified bitumen membrane, self
adhesive, spray-on and liquid applied membranes.
In addition, our technical knowhow also extends to all types
of insulation including polyurethane foam. Moreover,
setting the fact that we are the first waterproofing company
in the kingdom, we strive to make history by introducing
the first seamless waterproofing spray applied membrane
and the use of nano technology for insulation. Our
waterproofing expertise, experience, technical knowhow,
and skilled labor have made A.G.A one of the market
leaders in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Having legally existed for over 3 decades, AGA has outlived its issued warranty’s & guarantees further proving the high quality of work and honest commitment to the job.

Having years of practical experience, our engineering
team have the ability to technically support contractors
and consultants when they feel the roof is not designed
correctly or if the system proposed is weak.
The system is studied by the engineers along with
conducting pre-site visits to ensure that the area has
been prepared and designed well enough for the
materials to be installed. The engineering team will make
recommendations to changes and will not commence
until they are confident with the site conditions.
Focusing on these factors gives AGA the ability to issue
full guarantees on materials & installation on structures.
foCUS on enGineerinGWith structure protection, weatherproofing, insulation or general strengthening, although the materials & supplies that are used by AGA are readily available on the market, the design and method of installation is key and could make the difference between a 10 year guarantee & a failing structure.

To provide all customers with solutions to their structure protection
problems. With access to customised and high tech solutions &
products, AGA is committed to offer solutions at the customers
required budget.
Quality, Consistency, & Speed are the basic foundations
of everything we do. We strive into building a strong
relationship with all customers whilst insuring the three
basic foundations are not forgotten.
SerViCe DeTailS:
Structural protection materials have to be applied with
skilled labor to keep the weather from damaging the
interior and the structure of buildings. Lack of the correct
structural protection can cause complications including
but not limited to:
• Structural failure
• Fire risks
• Rotting & fungus growth
• De-bonding of tiles and wall paper
• Blistering of paint and interior finishings

WaTerproofinG & inSUlaTion:WATERPROOFING
• PVCWaterproofingMembrane:
Thermoplastic PVC roofing is extremely strong, as its heat-
welded seams form a permanent, watertight bond that is
stronger than the membrane itself. PVC resin is modified
with plasticizers and UV stabilizers, and reinforced with
fiberglass non-woven mats or polyester woven scrims.
They are inherently fire resistant and have a longer
life than bitumen based membranes allowing for a 20
year warranty.
• ModifiedBituminousMembrane:
Modified bitumen based membrane and one of the most
reliable waterproofing systems in the industry. Proven to
be durable, easy to maintain and to repair. Applied via
propane gas flame by trained and approved torch appliers.
• LiquidWaterproofingMembrane:
Modified bitumen based liquid membrane. Reinforced
with fibre mesh. Allowing applicator to enter into the
crevasses of wet areas.
• PolyurethaneUVresistantWaterproofCoating:
Made from a base of high grade polyurethane and polyuria,
this coating imparts a high level of impact resistance &
waterproofing to foam substrates. Polyurethane coatings
provide a thin film, high gloss finish with exceptional
weathering performance characteristics.
• ProtectionBoard:
Bitumen based protection membranes that are ideal for
use on roofs, reservoirs, basements, tunnels, car parks and
other areas. Due to its mechanical properties, it protects
the underlying waterproofing system from sharply angled
aggregates and other debris. The polyethylene sheet on
both sides also enhances its protection properties.
• EpoxyResinCoating:
A heavy duty protective coating for concrete, wood and
metal structures, subjected to chemical attack. Approved
for contact with potable water and for food processing
and pharmaceutical industries.
• CementitiousDamproofing:
A Polymer modified cementitious waterproof mortar
slurry comprising of a liquid polymer and cement based
mix incorporating special admixtures. Interior and
exterior waterproofing and damp-proofing of concrete,
cementations, rendering, brickwork and block work.
• Self-AdhesiveMembrane:
A prefabricated self-adhering cold applied modified
bituminous waterproofing membrane sheet available with
variety of different top layers and finishes to suit every
intended application. The membrane is highly elastic
but also reinforced with a fibreglass mesh and an easy
release paper protects the adhesive side and allows for
quick application.
WATER PROOFING FOR LANDSCAPING
• Antiroot&GreenAreaMembranes:
A specialised membrane used for the waterproofing roof
gardens, planters, and greenery for the full protection of
structural/civil work. The system also conserves irrigation
when used under lawns and gardens. The system
contains high quality distilled bitumen and is modified
with Plastomeric & Elastomeric resins, stabilizers,
preventive chemicals and antioxidants which ensure
excellent resistance to atmosphere, aging, and organic
growth ultimately giving stability in high temperatures
and dampness.
• PVCLakeLiner:
Specifically designed for garden pond and lake applications.
Its formulation and production process makes compatible
with aquatic life. PVC resin is modified with plasticizers
and UV stabilizers, and reinforced with fiberglass non-
woven mats or polyester woven scrims. Allows for a
20 year warranty.
INSULATION
• PolyurethaneSprayonFoam:
A layer which is proven to conserve energy, and is made
of a spray-applied insulating foam plastic that is applied
as a liquid and takes on the shape needed in any form
necessary. Formed by reacting the compounds isocyanate
& polyol, the final quality of this layer relies mainly on
the experience of the applicator, the pureness of the
chemicals, and the condition/maintenance of the machine.
• LightweightScreed:
A processed foam concrete allowing for a slope and a
proven thermal insulator with a lower weight to surface
area. Extremely safe & highly recommended by engineers
for use on roofs to avoid excess structural load and to
protect from drastic temperature changes.
• ExtrudedPolystyreneInsulationBoard:
Insulation manufactured through a plastic extrusion
process. The resulting board is almost 100% closed cell,
strong, highly moisture resistant and easy to cut & lay
giving accessibility to the underlying roof for future
changes and/or maintenance.

successfully used for sealing joints in civil construction,
facades, balcony parapets, precast, windows, cladding and
other joints in metal, wood or concrete structures.
• OtherEssentialJointTreatment:
An essential finishing treatment for proper completion
of waterproofing is correctly sealing construction
joints, expansion joints, connection joints, cracks and
fissures on concrete and other structures to ensure a 10
year guarantee. This can also be used to repair old or
damaged joints.
• PrefabricatedAccessories:
Although not essential to a waterproofing system, however
they do increase longevity, quality and ensure maximum
compatibility to treat joints, ends, drainage outlets and
supply within the system to ensure that it is water tight
and correctly welded to the membrane at hand. We
recommend this to all our clients and encourage the added
investment in return for a safer system and protection for
the structure.
