Balconies, plaza decks, and other walkable roofs are waterproofed differently than standard roofs. Typical low slope roofs are not very attractive and not designed to handle foot traffic or furniture. Walkable decks like balconies have a waterproofing system that is designed to keep the water out and allow for attractive flooring such as tile or marble. They also are built with specific drainage systems to prevent water from ponding on the surface. Replacing these “roofs” is a multistep process that includes removing the old system down to the deck. Grinding or scarifying the concrete to ensure proper adhesion for the new waterproofing. Multiple layers of urethane in combination with a reinforced fabric. And finally an attractive & durable top coat or floor tile. These waterproofing systems carry up to a 20 year warranty from the manufacturer.
