Challenge: Durable surface protection and aesthetics

• Protecting the substrate against water, moisture and weather conditions
• Obtaining a decorative effect that fits the style of modern balconies
• Creating a layer that is easy to maintain and resistant to aging

Solution: Granite-effect waterproofing system

A system consisting of four professional products was selected to complete the project, providing full protection and a visual effect imitating granite:

1. Neopox Primer WS – epoxy primer for application on damp concrete
2. Neoproof Polyurea R – polyurea waterproofing membrane
3. Troken Stone – decorative spray paint imitating the appearance of granite
4. Floortop 1K – flexible, single-component polyurethane varnish for complete protection

Implementation stages – step by step

Priming the substrate (Neopox Primer WS)

• Clean the concrete surface of dust, dirt and grease.
• Apply Neopox Primer WS epoxy primer – the product allows for effective bonding even with slightly damp concrete.
• Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Application of waterproofing membrane (Neoproof Polyurea R)

• Apply the first layer of Neoproof Polyurea R using a roller or brush.
• After 24 hours, apply another layer to achieve full sealing and resistance to standing water.

Decorative granite layer (Troken Stone)

• After another 24 hours from the completion of waterproofing, proceed to apply the Troken Stone .
• The paint is applied by spraying, which allows for a natural granite effect and high visual repeatability.

Protective layer (Floortop 1K)

• Once the paint has dried, protect the entire surface with Floortop 1K flexible polyurethane varnish .
• The varnish increases resistance to abrasion, dirt and UV radiation.

Effects
