THE STEPS TO WATERPROOFING YOUR BALCONY
There are many steps that go into waterproofing but here you can see the main steps and see that nothing else is required in order to have your balcony repaired.
Clean
As we handle a lot of strata work and investment properties, many of the balconies that we waterproof have not been properly cleaned in many years. We clean the surface using a combination of high-pressure water and acid to reveal the balcony beneath.
Balcony Preparation
Once cleaned, the balcony reveals the extent of the repairs needed to bring the surface back to good condition. This usually involves regrouting and cutting in expansion joints to allow for increased movement as the property ages.
Waterproofing
Once the surface is returned to a good condition the Clear Waterproofing can be applied to the surface. We tend to match the existing finish of your tiles which makes it hard to determine that membrane being installed. Finishes are all slip resistant and come in Gloss, Satin and Matte.
