Mediterranean villas are admired for their beauty, charm, and connection to the Côte d’Azur landscape. However, the region’s climate — characterised by humidity, sea air, heat, and seasonal storms — demands reliable waterproofing and insulation systems to maintain comfort, structural integrity, and long-term value.
At Baie des Anges, we specialise in protecting Riviera homes with high-performance solutions designed specifically for coastal conditions.
Why Waterproofing Matters in the Riviera Climate
The Alpes-Maritimes experience significant moisture from rainfall, sea air, and ground humidity. Without proper waterproofing, homes can suffer from:
- Wall and ceiling infiltration
- Mould, mildew, and humidity buildup
- Deteriorating plaster and stonework
- Structural weakening over time
- Higher cooling and heating costs
Proactive waterproofing ensures your villa remains dry, healthy, and protected year-round.
Roof Waterproofing for Maximum Protection
Roofs are the first barrier against coastal weather. Baie des Anges uses advanced systems to ensure resilience and durability:
- High-performance waterproof membranes
- Salt-resistant underlayment for coastal areas
- Reinforced flashing and guttering to prevent infiltration
- Ventilated roof structures that reduce moisture accumulation
These measures protect homes from heavy rainfall, sea mist, and strong winds common in the region.
Terrace and Balcony Sealing
Terraces, balconies, and rooftop spaces are popular features of Riviera homes — but they are also frequent points of water infiltration. We apply:
- Polyurethane and resin-based waterproofing systems
- Sealed drainage channels
- Anti-slip protective coatings
- UV-resistant finishes to prevent cracking
Proper sealing prevents water from penetrating internal spaces and supports long-term structural stability.
Exterior Wall Waterproofing and Breathable Coatings
Façades exposed to salt air and humidity benefit greatly from specialised coatings. Baie des Anges offers:
- Breathable hydrophobic treatments that repel water without trapping moisture
- Mineral-based renders compatible with Provençal architecture
- Salt-resistant primers for coastal homes
- Crack repair and reinforcement before sealing
These solutions protect exterior walls while maintaining their natural appearance.
Basement and Foundation Waterproofing
For hillside villas and properties near the coastline, foundation waterproofing is essential. We implement:
- Bituminous and liquid waterproof membranes
- Drainage and water evacuation systems
- Protective insulation panels
- Interior anti-humidity treatments
This prevents rising moisture, ground infiltration, and structural degradation.
Advanced Insulation for Mediterranean Comfort
Insulation is equally important for managing the Riviera’s warm summers and mild winters. Baie des Anges installs energy-efficient insulation systems that enhance comfort while reducing energy use:
- Roof and attic insulation to prevent heat gain
- Wall insulation with breathable, moisture-resistant materials
- Thermal underfloor insulation for modern villa renovations
- Eco-friendly insulation options such as mineral wool or recycled fibres
Proper insulation ensures stable indoor temperatures throughout the year.
Interior Humidity Control and Ventilation Systems
Coastal homes naturally accumulate humidity. To combat this, we offer:
- Mechanical ventilation (VMC) systems
- Moisture-regulating interior plasters
- Dehumidification strategies for basements and storage areas
- Condensation prevention solutions
These systems improve indoor air quality and protect finishes from mould or deterioration.
