York Elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina started new construction in 2020. Even though it was not specified that the school needed below-grade waterproofing solutions, contractor J.T. Murphy Construction persuaded the design team to choose SOPREMA for the benefits that come with a single source warranty and compatible tie-in deals for the whole building structure.
Thanks to the invaluable benefit of SOPREMA’s extensive product line, the team was able to circumvent multiple raw material shortages. When base sheet fasteners were not available to start the roof application, they switched to COLPLY® EF adhesive. The environmentally friendly adhesive is solvent-free, ultra-low VOC and offers elastomeric waterproofing protection beneath or between membrane plies.
Another change was made when liquid waterproofing was not available, prompting a change to SOPRASEAL® Stick VP to finish the walls. The self-adhered vapor-permeable air barrier membrane offers superior waterproofing and unmatched adhesion.

About SOPREMA
Building. Protecting. Sustaining.
In 1908, Charles Geisen founded “Les Usines Alsaciennes d’Émulsions” in Strasbourg, France for the development and production of waterproofing liquids and pastes. Charles discovered a revolutionary material that was impermeable, yet flexible and easy to apply: canvas dipped in hot bitumen. As the finished product resembled the skin of a wooly mammoth, it was called the “MAMMOUTH“ waterproofing membrane. Today, SOPREMA is owned and operated by Charles Geisen’s great grandson, Pierre-Etienne Bindschedler, and has over 100 manufacturing plants worldwide, providing complete solutions for building envelope waterproofing. SOPREMA continues to operate with core values of integrity, respect, commitment to excellence, and a focus on sustainable product development to minimize our impact on the environment.
