GAF BarrierGuard®

A polymer-modified waterproofing coating built for concrete and masonry surfaces — resisting standing water and chemical exposure.

What It Is

Built for the surfaces others can't handle

GAF BarrierGuard is a polymer-modified cement coating, mixed with Portland cement and reinforced with fabric, designed specifically for masonry and concrete surfaces. It forms a hard-wearing, flexible waterproofing layer with excellent resistance to standing water, acid rain, and chemical pollutants.

It's also used to prime structural concrete ahead of other GAF coating systems, and to texture walkways and masonry decks — making it as much a foundation product as a finished surface.
