Sparcolux Weather-Tite is a water-based acrylic waterproofing solution that offers excellent protection against water and rain
by forming a strong water-proof barrier.
Used in conjunction with the Sparcolux Membrane, Weather-Tite is designed for extra flexibility to withstand cracking and
movement of the underlying surface, and dries to form a resilient waterproof barrier that is attractive, UV resistant and long
lasting.
