Three ways to stop water at the source
Every foundation has a different exposure profile, so the right waterproofing approach depends on the structure, the ground conditions and the project stage.
External membrane barriers
A continuous liquid-applied coating on the outside face of the foundation, stopping water before it reaches the structure. This is Starflex’s core strength: no seams, no weak joints, full adhesion to concrete, bituminous membranes, PVC, sheet metal and fibre-cement.
Integral protection at construction stage
Waterproofing designed into the build from day one, ideal for new foundations where the membrane can be applied directly to formwork or substrate before backfilling.
Internal drainage and remedial systems
For existing structures where external access isn’t possible, combining protective coatings with drainage to manage water that has already found a way in.
Starflex covers the first two scenarios end-to-end, with technical support to specify the right build-up for each project.
Built for every foundation and every project type
- Concrete foundation waterproofing – full adhesion to poured concrete walls and slabs, with the flexibility to bridge shrinkage cracks as the structure cures and settles.
- Block foundation waterproofing – a continuous membrane over masonry joints removes the weak points typical of block construction.
- Exterior foundation waterproofing membrane – positive-side application keeps hydrostatic pressure working against the membrane, not against the structure.
- Commercial foundation and basement waterproofing – scalable application for large below-grade footprints, from underground car parks to industrial basements.
- Foundation waterproofing for new construction – specified at the design stage, Starflex integrates with formwork schedules without slowing down the build programme.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between external and internal foundation waterproofing?
External waterproofing applies a barrier to the outside face of the foundation before backfilling, stopping water before it reaches the structure. Internal systems manage water after it has already penetrated, usually through drainage. External application is generally the stronger long-term solution when it’s accessible during construction.
Can foundation waterproofing be applied in cold weather?
Yes. Starflex’s cold-applied polyurea-polyurethane formulation is engineered to cure reliably in low temperatures, without the heat sources that traditional systems usually require. A practical advantage on winter construction schedules.
How long does a Starflex waterproofing membrane last?
Starflex systems are designed for a service life of up to 30 years, backed by independent certifications including BBA and EOTA technical approvals.
Is Starflex suitable for both concrete and block foundations?
Yes. The liquid membrane fully adheres to concrete, block, stone, bituminous membranes, PVC, sheet metal and fibre-cement, forming one continuous barrier regardless of substrate.
Does Starflex work for commercial and large-scale projects?
Yes. Starflex is specified on commercial basement and foundation waterproofing projects, including underground car parks and industrial basements, where a seamless system and fast installation reduce disruption to the build programme.
How much faster is Starflex to install than traditional waterproofing?
Because it cures without heat or open flame, Starflex reduces installation time by up to 50% compared to traditional bituminous or torch-applied systems.
Bring 70 years of Italian waterproofing engineering to your market
MPM has spent over 70 years developing waterproofing and flooring technology in Italy, and Starflex is the direct result of that history: a cold-applied, single-component polyurea-polyurethane system engineered in-house, from formulation through to independent certification.
When you bring Starflex into your portfolio, you’re adding a system validated by BBA and EOTA technical approvals, Broof fire certification, and LCA and EPD environmental declarations, with LEED and Minergie-Eco compatibility already built in. That certification depth means less specification friction with architects, contractors and insurers in your market, and a stronger technical case when you’re up against local or regional competitors.
Distribution partners also gain what MPM’s own technical teams provide directly to specifiers: product selection support, application guidance and training resources, so your sales and technical staff can represent Starflex with the same confidence MPM’s own experts do.
If you’re evaluating a waterproofing line to strengthen your territory, our export team can walk you through the certifications, the product range and the partnership terms in detail.
