Repairing balconies

When coating isn’t enough

A balcony has to withstand a lot: extreme temperature fluctuations from heat to ice, rainwater (also standing) and, last but not least, the people who use it. All of this will eventually lead to real damage. Only someone with specialist knowledge can recognize and repair this damage. That means you!

Building with round balconies

Look closely, analyze even more closely

What is the cause of the damage? This is the first question to be answered. After all, only a thorough analysis of the substrate and, in the second step, the sustainable implementation of the balcony coating can protect against further damage.

    Inspecting and analyzing: you ask, the balcony answers

    When a balcony needs to be repaired, there are many things you can do: from reprofiling the cantilever slabs or parapets to creating edge connections, waterproofing and applying a sealer. However, before you start, you should answer the following questions:

    • Is there concrete damage to the balcony slab that needs to be repaired?
    • Are simple repair measures sufficient or does the structural integrity need to be inspected because the damage is too extensive?
    • Is there moisture damage? What is it caused by?
    • Is there an old coating or tile covering that may need to be removed?
    • What do the connections to the adjacent rising building components look like? Are there any leaks here?
    • What type of substrate is present: concrete, cement screed, mastic asphalt?

    Man smoothing out Floortec coating

    1:0 for Floortec

    A coating with Floortec balcony coatings is far superior to the tiles that are all too often laid on balconies. This is because the installation height and installation weight are lower. The coating system also provides reliable protection against moisture absorption. But Floortec balcony coatings also lead the way when it comes to crack bridging and draining water for quick drying after rain.

    That only leaves the design options. Thanks to the Floortec balcony coatings, there are suitable coating build-ups for the widest range of requirements.
