Why Are Some Waterproofing Solutions Cheaper Than Others?

Why Are Other Nanotechnology Waterproofing Service Providers Cheaper -What’s the difference?

Read about other nanotechnology waterproofing solutions offered in the market and how they compare to ours regarding reliability and effectiveness.

In Klang Valley, there are quite a few players in the waterproofing service industry who offer their services at a steal. Among them, you may also spot companies that even claim to use nanotechnology despite having no certification. On a superficial level, these companies appear to offer the best of both worlds – but not all waterproofing service providers are the specialists they claim to be.  As a consumer, it is wise to note that overly cheap waterproofing works have many downsides and disadvantages that will cause more harm than good in the long run.

So, how did they manage to offer “nanotechnology” waterproofing services at such a low price? 

1. No Proof of Product Certification.

Everybody can make claims on their ads and marketing materials, but they are most likely unable to offer any valid proof of certification. Some may claim that their products are imported from overseas – but bear in mind that the climate in Malaysia differs from that of other countries and may affect the effectiveness of nanotechnology solutions. This is where NanoVerify come into play – this organisation has established stringent tests to ensure that products marketed to mass Malaysians are safe to use and authentic nanotechnology products.  

Nano-G is the first waterproofing solution using Nanotechnology in Malaysia, and our methods and solutions are accredited by NanoVerify. This accolade serve as an assurance to clients and customers that Nano-G’s solutions are 100% genuine as claimed.

Nano-G is certified authentic and safe by NanoVerify after undergoing extensive tests.

2. Cheaper Solutions Often Trap Moisture Beneath The Surface.

Cheap Non-breathable Waterproofing May Cause Paint Bubbling

Post-treatment with cheap solutions can lead to other problems surfacing over time.

The most common cheap waterproofing solutions involve layering surfaces with plastic films or non-breathable coatings. If the work done by contractors is shoddy, the films or coatings end up trapping moisture or humidity from beneath or behind the treated surface – leading to paint bubbling or cracking on the surface after some time. 

On the other hand, Nano-G’s nanotechnology waterproofing solution maintains the original breathability and porosity of treated surfaces, because the process involves no “plastic films”. Instead, our solution has the same viscosity as water, is invisible, odourless, and creates water-repelling protection on top and beneath treated surfaces after application by lining the pores and capillaries of the materials with hydrophobic nanoparticles. This allows trapped moisture to exit the surface while preventing external moisture from entering it.

3. Cheaper Solutions Are Not Durable.

As long as the solution involves layering the surface with extra coatings or materials, the coating is susceptible to abrasion, deterioration, or mechanical wear. Depending on the purity and grade of those solutions, the coatings may wear off and eventually need replacement – the cheaper it is, the sooner you’ll have to get contractors to rework the building.

At Nano-G, not only our nanotechnology waterproofing solutions are resistant to abrasion, deterioration, or mechanical wear, but they are also more resistant to UV damage and do not turn yellow over time. These factors combine to demonstrate that surfaces treated by Nano-G exhibit prolonged durability against various weathering and human-use damages.

Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Waterproofing solutions has high durability against scratches and abrasions.

4. Cheap solutions may not be safe for people.

To lower the costs, companies that offer cheap waterproofing services use solvent-based solutions – these are highly toxic and can cause health issues when inhaled in the long run, for inhabitants of premises and contractors who are continuously exposed to these hazards. 

Nano-G believes in creating safe solutions for people and the planet. Our hospital-grade Nanotechnology 4th Generation Waterproofing solution is certified as non-toxic, approved by the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH), and earned the Green Label certification.

With the Green Label certification and approval from MOH, this makes us the one and only credible choice of waterproofing specialist by numerous hospitals across Malaysia.

Nano-G Offers The Best Anti-Slip Solution For Your Home Kitchen

The Importance of Anti-slip Coating In Your Kitchen

If you have young children, pregnant women, elderly people, and persons with disabilities living in your premises – slip-proofing your kitchen brings more benefits than you think.

Your kitchen is where meals are prepared day-to-day. It is also the cornerstone of celebrating special occasions and parties, being the single place where all the cutting, cooking, and washing is happening. Compared to other parts of the home, the kitchen at home is buzzing with the most life and activity – but many of us fail to consider the multiple health and safety hazards here. On the top of your mind, you can probably name a few kitchen hazards; sharp objects, the potential for burns, heavy objects, etc. But what about the risk of slips and falls, even with the most careful chef? This is where an anti-slip coating for the kitchen floor becomes crucial.

Here are some important reasons for you to consider anti-slip coating for your kitchen at home.

1. Minimise injuries from slips, trips, and falls.

Children are prone to fall-sustained injuries, and minimising the chances of slips and falls can critically reduce these occurrences.

At best, slips and trips result in a small “oops” moment. At worst, they are fatal. In between, falling down in a slippery kitchen causes pain, sprains, and fractures on the hips, shoulder, or back. Every year, one in three elderly slips and falls at home – and you definitely should not leave the results of the fall up to chance. Thus, slip-proofing your kitchen at home is a necessary precaution to prevent such injuries.

2. Hold “collision” accidents at bay.

Slippery Kitchen Floors May Cause Collisions That Leads To Injuries

Slipping and falling in the kitchen can cause a domino effect that leads to other more severe accident scenarios.

A floor with good traction lowers the risks of collision in the kitchen, especially when there is more than one person in the area. The one who slipped may bump into the other who happens to be handling a safety hazard such as a knife or boiling water – resulting in cuts, lacerations, punctures, scalds, or burns. At best, the accident leads to bruises. At worst, slips and falls in the kitchen may lead to freak accidents.

3. Fewer worries, more productivity.

If you’re constantly worried about your footing in the kitchen, chances are that your meal preparation time is often stressful and nerve-wracking. You may find yourself completely exhausted by the end of a simple meal-prep session – but confused about why you found the task so mentally daunting. All of that can be overcome with a anti-slip coating for the kitchen, so that you can concentrate better on creating the perfect dish.

4. Keep the safety of your family in check.

Nano-G's Anti-Slip Treatment Benefits Disabled or Elderly Family Members At Home

Bear in mind that the elderly have more brittle bones and are more susceptible to the worse consequences of a simple fall.

Other than children, if you have family members who are elderly or disabled – they are often seeking to gain more independence in their own homes. By making your kitchen floor slip-proof, at-risk individuals may feel safe, seen, and supported in their own homes – elevating joy and lowering stress for everyone under the same roof.

Safeguard your kitchen at home with Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating.

Nano-G’s Nanotechnology Anti-Slip Floor Coating is highly recommended as a healthier, non-toxic alternative to increase the friction of slippery floor surfaces. This method uses nanotechnology to create a grainy texture on the surface and eliminates the need for intrusive hacking, grinding, or harsh chemical usage. Our nanotechnology method also makes little to no changes to your existing tiles’ appearances, maintaining the original aesthetics of your flooring. Moreover, the process takes only between 24 to 48 hours – producing ZERO pollution or disturbances to occupants and neighbours.

Nano-G Waterproofing Hotel 2

Preventing Water Leakage Problems in Hotels & Resorts

With hundreds of water outlets in the building, don’t leave water leakage encounters up to chance.

Hotels and resorts can host up to hundreds or thousands of visitors per day, which means tons of water running through bathrooms, commercial kitchens, swimming pools, and spas by the minute across an extensive network of pipes and valves from the basement to all the way to the rooftop. Having said that, your hotel management’s contingency plan should take into consideration the potentially major problems which can arise from even seemingly small water leakages. After all, water leaks in hotels & resorts are bound to happen due to wear and tear. 

Signs Your Hotel Has Water Leakage Problems

During periodic inspections conducted by your staff, they may have spotted  a few of the following visual indicators on walls and ceilings:

• Yellow water stains
• Peeling or bubbling paint
• Black mold, green algae growth
• Sagging ceiling

Other than visual cues, water leakage problems can be identified through a  distinct musty smell, and the atmosphere of the room or space usually feels heavy and humid.

The Consequences of Water Leakage Problems On Hotels & Resorts

1. Unpleasant aesthetics and bad first impressions of your hotel.

Water seepage into walls; either from the rain or bad plumping – does plenty of damage to wallpapers and paint. A paint job well done can look like shoddy work if the walls are continuously exposed to wetness. The most obvious indicators of water leakage problems are yellow stains and mold growth on plaster ceilings and walls.

Bad waterproofing leads to bad reviews

2. Poor customer experience.

Guests of hotels and resorts have set expectations on comfort and cleanliness before they check in to their rooms. Water leakage in rooms can cause dampness on the beds and sheets, plus an unshakeable musty odour that contributes to the overall uncomfortable feeling. Guests are more likely to leave bad reviews than good ones – and you don’t want to invite this kind of PR disaster.

3. Health & safety hazards.

Water damage affects the structural integrity of any building, and this fact is particularly concerning in larger buildings where multiple floors are affected by the leakage. On top of structural damage, water leakage can short-circuit electrical wirings inside or along the concrete walls, presenting a fire hazard. Last but not least, the airborne byproducts released by mold and mildew growth cause a myriad of diseases.

4. Preventable problems, and unnecessary costs.

These visual and structural problems, while being completely preventable, can end up costing the hotel a hefty sum in terms of time and budget; worse if the issue persists and is left unchecked. Consider the opportunity costs when the management finally decided to renovate the building to rectify the issue while losing out customers during the peak season.

Nano-G anti-slip for confinement center 2

Slip and Fall Prevention in Confinement Centres

Keeping both mother and newborn baby safe in a slip-free environment.

New mothers who embark on their new journey in postpartum confinement are increasingly checking themselves into confinement centres – due to the quality of care they can expect in meeting the needs of new mothers and newborn infants.  Moreover, confinement centres are redefining the confinement period experience, making it feel less isolating in an environment that encourages interaction between mothers and caretakers. 

Confinement centres are also expected to be a safe haven for mothers and children, and the management is liable for any safety hazards as it serves as a sanctuary for two groups of very vulnerable people. Thus, the installation of anti-slip methods should be considered as one of the most basic requirements of safety for confinement centres.

Nano-G’s client, Woyo Confinement Center, engaged Nano-G’s services due to the unparalleled quality of our solutions that are highly effective and non-toxic, perfect for a premise centered around the well-being of mothers and children.

How does having anti-slip floors contribute to building a good reputation for confinement centres?

Besides the availability of reliable staffs, knowledgeable caretakers, and nutritious food, the safety and comfort of mothers and infants are also of great importance. One aspect to enhance the provision of clean and safe facilities for occupants is anti-slip floors, as slip and fall accidents can lead to serious complications for new mothers or infants. Newborns do not have fully developed skulls, and are thus highly vulnerable to fatal injuries should caretakers or mothers drop them as a result of a slip or fall. Hence, confinement centres can reduce unwanted accidents, fatal injuries, and even possible legal problems by properly slip-proofing the floors.

What methods can confinement centres engage with to slip-proof their floors?

There are a few strategies to prevent occupants and employees from being a victim of slip and fall accidents in confinement centres. For starters, the management can consider purchasing…

1. Anti-slip mats

Anti-slip mats are most suitable to be fixed in wet areas like bathroom floors and the kitchen. The mats create a textured surface to increase friction. The downside of anti-slip mats is the accumulation of water beneath the mats that must be cleaned regularly to prevent bacteria and mold buildup, which causes even anti-slip mats to be slippery after some time!

2. Anti-slip socks/shoes

These nylon socks and shoes come with grip features on the soles, and they are a quick and affordable way to keep feet cozy while providing extra traction to tread on slippery floors. However, they may not be suitable for use in the bathroom.

Undoubtedly, permanent anti-slip installations are more ideal for confinement centers. There are two commonly available alternatives offered in the market, namely…

3. Epoxy flakes floor coating

This solution typically uses epoxy chemicals and flakes to create textures on existing floor tiles, and the process involves grinding the tile top to create the ideal surface for the solution to be attached. While epoxy coatings are affordable and long-lasting, the installation process is hazardous, polluting, and unsafe for occupants due to dust and chemical particles in the air – dangerous to mothers and newborns and disruptive to their recovery processes.

4. Nano-G Anti-slip Floor Coating

Nano-G’s nanotechnology anti-slip floor coating is highly recommended as a healthier, non-toxic alternative to increase the friction of slippery floor surfaces. This method creates a grainy texture on the surface using nanotechnology to create excellent friction without the need for invasive hacking, grinding, or using toxic chemical fumes. This method also makes little to no changes to existing tile appearances, and the process takes only between 24 to 48 hours without producing pollution or disturbances to occupants and neighbours.
