Balcony waterproofing

If you have a balcony, it's important to ensure it's adequately protected from moisture. Water penetrating the balcony slab can cause damage, which in turn weakens the entire structure.

Advantages of balcony waterproofing

The use of resin-based waterproofing products has many advantages , including :

• Resin products are durable and extremely resistant to temperature, UV rays, water and wind.

What materials should you choose for balcony waterproofing?

When choosing balcony waterproofing, it's important to consider the available resins and carefully analyze their properties. Due to the outdoor location of balconies and their exposure to external factors, resin resistance to UV radiation and other atmospheric factors is essential. Although waterproofing resins are available, they can discolor and fade under UV radiation, despite their durability and resistance to weathering. If you want a long-lasting, aesthetically pleasing finish and protection for your balcony, consider all resin parameters when choosing a waterproofing system.

Balcony waterproofing materials vary not only in their resistance to weather conditions but also in their flexibility and durability. Our recommended resins are Neodur Special, , and Neodur FT Elastic, .

A unique balcony floor effect

When applying resin flooring to waterproof a balcony, it's worth remembering additional possibilities, such as giving the floor visual effect masking irregularities ! Decorative products were created for this purpose. They are scattered and then covered with a final layer of resin. Decorative flakes are available in many colors, sizes, and shapes. They can be mixed to create more interesting color combinations. Using decorative flakes, you can create unique patterns on the balcony floor, thus enhancing its appearance. They should be applied to wet resin. Another interesting solution that will provide a unique visual effect on the balcony floor is TROKEN STONE . This product is designed for application to various surfaces using a special Troken Stone paint unit . TROKEN STONE is an eco-friendly paint that creates a granite effect, thus creating an elegant effect on the floor. The paint is available in many variants, allowing you to customize the effect to your individual preferences. If a glossy floor finish bothers you, use Colodur ECO MATT – a varnish that quickly creates a matte resin finish. It works perfectly as a topcoat for TROKEN STONE.

Tiled balcony

The availability of various tile patterns and colors allows for any desired finish on the balcony surface, but due to the joints and their delicate nature, this isn't the best solution. Joints can deteriorate over time, as can the tile surface itself. Furthermore, tiles aren't a durable solution, especially if the balcony is frequently used. Their lack of adequate mechanical resistance means that even the slightest impact on their surface can cause damage, necessitating repair work. Any cracks or leaks allow moisture and water to penetrate the concrete surface, negatively impacting the building's structure.

Waterproofing - is it necessary?

For tiled balconies, we recommend switching to a much more durable and resistant system solution. Waterproofing a balcony with resins is one of the most durable ways to protect its surface. It also saves you money that would otherwise be spent on regular repairs for minor dents and cracks in the tiles.
