As any experienced tiler would tell you, the quality of your tiling is directly related to the condition of the surface underfoot. So, it is a good idea to employ an experienced waterproofing company that has the equipment and knowledge to handle your project from start to finish.

Balcony screeding Melbourne of the right quality is the key to a durable, long lasting finish. There are several options to choose from including butyl rubber, epdm and polyurethane.

The balcony screeding Melbourne provide you with a range of options to suit your budget and requirements. They will consider factors such as bed saturation, substrate drainage and compatibility with other materials to help decide which waterproofing product is best for your balcony.

If your balcony leaks, then you have an issue that can cause a lot of damage. It can be a very expensive repair, so you should get it fixed as soon as possible.

Cracks in the surface such as those in concrete, grout or tiles are very common causes of leaks on balconies. They allow water to pass through, and over time these breaks will become even bigger and more damaging.

These breakages are typically easy to fix, using grout (see our article on how to do that). After the break is repaired, the entire surface should be sealed with Shower Plug for water-repellency, or another waterproofing product.

Flashing is thin pieces of material installed to prevent the passage of water through vertical/horizontal joints on balconies, such as the floor and wall or window/door openings. If the flashing is faulty, it will need to be replaced professionally.

Alternatively, the tiles may need to be replaced entirely. This is a more complex process than repairing the broken/dislodged/drummy tiles, and you will need to hire a professional tiler to do it for you.

Defective waterproof membranes on balconies are a major complaint to insurance companies. In fact, it is one of the top dollar-item claims in the construction industry.
