EspañolWATERPROOF
The term 'waterproof' describes something that is unaffected by water or covered with a material that doesn't allow water in. Such items are suitable for use in wet environments (outdoors) or under water.
The hulls of boats and ships were once waterproofed by applying tar or pitch. Modern items may be waterproofed by applying water-repellent coatings or by sealing seams with gaskets or O-rings.
In construction, a building/structure is waterproofed with the use of membranes to protect contents underneath/within as well as protecting structural integrity. The waterproofing of the building envelope in construction specifications is under '07 - Thermal and Moisture' protection and includes roofing material as well as waterproofing materials.
