Deck and Balcony Waterproofing
Firstly, it is important to look at the location of the deck. In some cases, builders will bury the deck; in others, they will leave it exposed, subjecting it to wear and weathering. Therefore, specifying the right products to suit the deck’s end use is important. Balconies will usually be above ground, so the product choice will often be more straightforward for waterproofing.
How to Decide Which Products to Use for Deck and Balcony Waterproofing
These materials should bond strongly to the substrate they are applied to, especially when the deck is exposed and subject to wear and weathering. In such cases, the deck waterproofing materials must also resist slipping and withstand UV exposure.
Newton offer a wide range of products for waterproofing concrete decks, that cover all end uses, including vapour permeable and vapour impermeable options as well as a selection of primers, wearing coats, multi-coat systems and drainage membranes. The product, or products selected for the project are very much dependent on the intended use, and on the location of the area – for example if a deck is exposed to the elements then the product selection would be different to a scenario where the deck is covered.
Newton’s technical experts can help design a solution which is right for your project.
Who Installs the Products?
Correctly designing and applying all waterproofing systems ensures the products fulfill their intended function and provide internal conditions fit for the area’s required use.
