ClearProof is a temporary, leak-stopping, transparent, UV-resistant, single-pack co-polymer specifically designed for application over existing tiled surfaces. It creates a transparent waterproof barrier without the need to remove tiles, preserving the substrate’s original appearance.
ClearProof’s flexibility, durability and toughness allow it to be used in areas subject to light foot traffic such as tiled shower areas, balconies, decks and podiums.
What Is ClearProof Transparent Waterproofing Used For?
ClearProof is designed as a temporary waterproofing solution where removing tiles is not practical or desirable. It is commonly used to stop leaks caused by grout failure, hairline cracks or minor substrate movement while maintaining the original tiled finish.
This makes ClearProof ideal for remedial waterproofing in both residential and light commercial applications.

ClearProof is best used in situations where:
- Tiles cannot be removed without major disruption
