Windhoek suburb
Roofing in Auasblick
Auasblick homes sit on the slope with long views and, as a consequence, long exposure. Many are flat-roofed with generous terraces and parapets, so the waterproofed area includes surfaces people walk on.
Trafficked waterproofing is a different specification from a roof nobody visits, and treating them the same is the usual mistake.

What actually goes wrong in Auasblick
Trafficked terraces
Terrace waterproofing takes foot traffic, furniture and planters. It needs a protection layer or a system rated for traffic, otherwise punctures appear where a pot has stood all summer.
Door thresholds
Where a terrace meets a sliding door, the membrane has to be carried up under the frame. Stopping short at the threshold puts water straight into the floor slab.
Exposed edges
As on other hillside stands, edge fixing density and mechanically fixed trims matter more than they would lower down in the city.
