Why waterproofing membrane is used inside Gigi Coffee (within the mall)

Even though the outlet is located inside the mall, waterproofing is still very important, especially for F&B operations like Gigi Coffee.

Waterproofing membrane is required because:

• The area is exposed to frequent water usage (cleaning, washing, spills)
• Water can seep through floor slabs and joints into lower floors or nearby tenants
• Concrete and screed are not fully waterproof, especially at joints and hairline cracks
• To prevent leakage complaints affecting other shops or mall management
• To avoid mould, dampness, and bad odour that can affect hygiene standards
• To protect electrical points, equipment, and finishes within the outlet

For cafés inside malls, any leakage can lead to:
❌ Damage to ceiling below
❌ Tenant disputes
❌ Temporary business closure
❌ High rectification cost

By installing a waterproofing membrane system:
✔ A continuous water barrier is formed beneath finishes
✔ Water is contained and directed properly
✔ Long-term durability is ensured
✔ Maintenance issues are minimized

Conclusion:
For Gigi Coffee inside Centre Point Mall, waterproofing membrane is a preventive and mandatory solution to protect the outlet, surrounding tenants, and mall structure.
