All too often, penetration of water through the top surfaces and exposed edges of both reinforced concrete balconies and timber framed balconies, leads to deterioration of the balconies themselves, and other significant defects, such as concrete spalling (which we will discuss later), corrosion of balustrade connection points and bases, failure of soffit coatings and loss of adhesion of soffit coatings, and other unsightly flaws such as the leaching of soluble salts.

The correct approach, is of course is the installation of robust and appropriate waterproofing membrane system "that lasts"! The use materials that are not of the optimum type, that are below thickness or required dry film build, that re-emulsify etc etc will only lead to inordinate repair costs. Tiling by the way, is not an effective or acceptable waterproofing measure. Membranes normally, and best, are situated to the structural deck, below the tile bed and tiles. There is a lot of information and other work details in relation to appropriate waterproofing of balconies. Please speak to us about this.
