New Zealand's leading membrane waterproofing brand — torch-on bitumen, single-ply TPO, and liquid-applied deck systems for flat roofs, decks, and balconies.
Nuralite has been supplying membrane waterproofing systems to New Zealand since 1955. AquaProof is a Nuralite-approved applicator — meaning every system we install meets Nuralite's installation standard and is eligible for Nuralite's product warranty.
Nuralite is the most widely specified membrane waterproofing brand in New Zealand. Their product range covers modified bitumen (torch-on), single-ply TPO, and liquid-applied systems — giving specifiers and building owners a compliant solution for virtually every roof and deck configuration.
Because Nuralite systems are engineered specifically for New Zealand's climate — high UV, coastal salt, and variable temperature — their specifications are widely accepted by councils, engineers, and insurance providers across Auckland and the rest of the country.
Product range
Nuralite's product range covers the main membrane technologies used in flat roofing, deck, and balcony waterproofing in New Zealand.
A 3-ply SBS modified bitumen torch-on system for flat roofs and decks. The multi-layer construction — base sheet, mid-layer, and cap sheet — provides redundancy across the membrane assembly. The most widely installed system in NZ residential and light-commercial waterproofing.
Nuralite's single-ply thermoplastic polyolefin membrane for flat roofing. Heat-welded seams, lightweight, UV-stable, and compatible with warm-roof insulation configurations. Suitable for commercial and large-area residential projects where TPO is specified.
A liquid-applied waterproofing coating for external decks and balconies. Applied by brush or roller, Nuradeck C conforms to complex junctions, upstands, and penetrations without seams — eliminating the main failure point of sheet-applied systems on deck surfaces.
A warm-roof assembly combining PIR insulation board with a compatible Nuraply membrane above. Used where thermal performance is part of the building specification — new builds, retrofits seeking H1 compliance, and commercial builds requiring an energy performance target.
Nuraply 3PM is a torch-applied modified bitumen system built on SBS (styrene-butadiene-styrene) polymer technology. SBS modification gives the bitumen elasticity — the membrane stretches and returns rather than cracking under thermal movement.
The three-layer assembly — base ply, intermediate ply, and mineral-faced cap sheet — creates a combined membrane thickness that tolerates minor substrate imperfections and provides genuine redundancy. If the cap sheet is damaged at a single point, the layers beneath remain intact.
FAQ
Yes. AquaProof is a Nuralite-approved applicator. This means we have met Nuralite's installation standard requirements and our Nuraply installations are eligible for Nuralite's product warranty. It also means Nuralite's technical team supports our work on complex projects.
Nuraply 3PM is a torch-on modified bitumen system — three layers of SBS-modified bitumen applied with a gas torch. Nuraply TPO is a single-ply thermoplastic membrane with heat-welded seams. 3PM is most common on residential and light-commercial projects; TPO suits larger commercial roofs where a single-layer system with consistent seam quality is preferred.
In many cases, yes — provided the substrate is sound, clean, and properly prepared. Nuradeck C can be applied over concrete, plywood, and some existing coatings depending on their condition. We assess the substrate at the site visit before recommending a system.
Yes. Nuralite's core systems carry BRANZ appraisals and comply with NZ Building Code clause E2 (external moisture). This makes Nuralite systems acceptable to council building inspectors and straightforward to specify for building consent documentation.
