Protection waterproofing balconies design

Waterproofing balconies and loggias and terraces to protect the structure from the negative effects of precipitation.

In closed and glazed buildings because of high humidity may appear fungus spoiling finishing materials.

primarily from an excess of moisture affected concrete slab.

In winter, the water that gets into the pores of the concrete, expands, resulting in micro-cracks appear.

Metal frame corrodes.

Waterproofing open type structures prevent damage to the bearing members and will significantly increase the service life.

methods waterproofing

methods balconies waterproofing of terraces and loggias:

• Processingonly sex;
• waterproofing materials coating the entire inner area of ​​loggias, terraces or balconies;
• Additional protection structure from the outside.In this case, it sets the external or internal drains, stairs, roofs, canopies.The ladder is needed for the internal drainage system.

Depending on the type of construction chosen method of protection from the weather.To open the balcony in a multi-story building would be enough for a simple floor treatment.

For closed structures necessary to arrange not only waterproof, but also to take measures to insulation and vapor barriers.

In a wooden house should consider a complete interior sealing and appropriate treatment outside of balconies, loggias and terraces.

Waterproofing balconies with their hands usually performed penetrating or lubricative composites that effectively protect the surface of the floor and ceiling.

These same materials are used for sealing joints and corner balcony and terrace structures.

on an open balcony as floor coverings often use ceramic tile or natural wood.

stacking process is simple, the main thing to prepare a flat surface and use a frost-resistant glue.

tree before work is impregnated with primer and anti-septic, and after laying is covered with several layers of coating insulation.

Operation on an open balcony:

1. Carefully remove the cover from the floor (if any).
2. Inspect the surface of the floor for loose sections.
3. Remove the punch by a loose concrete;
4. stiff brush, clean the slab of debris and dust;
5. To screed evenly filled the plate, treat all cracks grinder (a bit small, expand, and large - Line);
6. with no exposed reinforcement to remove all rust and coat the metal corrosion inhibitor;
7. Deal plate suitable primer and fill with cement mortar;
8. Likewise performed waterproofing ceiling balcony;
9. As an added layer of protection can be installed inside or outside the system.For domestic wastewater needs a ladder to collect precipitation and subsequent removal of the outside.Gangway installed at the lowest point of sexual plate.

insulation of vertical walls and roof

suitable foil for balcony waterproofing polystyrene inside (walls and parapet).The material is glued to a special moisture-and frost-resistant glue.

outer part is treated with brushable insulation.The surface of the first well-moistened, then with a brush coated with a mixture of coating.

composition applied in a thin layer (1 mm) in one direction.After 5-6 hours, another layer is perpendicular to the first.Seams between tiles necessarily laid reinforcing mesh.

for sealing joints recommend the use of polyurethane sealants.Unlike silicone materials they provide sufficient resistance to temperature changes and wind loads.

When pouring the floor should arrange trim expansion joint to prevent the appearance of cracks during cold weather.

to its formation in the space between the stove and the wall before pouring the cement mixture is laid rubber band.

For closed and winterized structures necessarily require the organization of a vapor barrier, without which the condensation and all waterproofing work will be useless within a glazed balcony.

vapor barrier devices are used for roll or tile materials: PVC or geosynthetic membranes.

difference between the vapor barrier on the waterproofing:

• Waterproofing protects the structure from moisture penetration from the outside;
• vapor barrier function - is to prevent the formation of condensation inside the balcony or loggia;

After treatment, the walls and floor need waterproofing the roof terrace.Reduce work only if the neighbors on the top floor fully protect your balcony from rain and frost.

In this case, part of the ceiling is only processed.Those who live on the top floor, to mount hinged roof.

for ceiling insulation is recommended to conduct polyurethane mastics.Their high cost is offset by a long service life.

impregnated with mastic such ceiling will last more than 25 years, while the roll materials should be changed every 3-4 years.In

private house can cause the insulation layer not only on the inside but also the outside.The apartment will have all the work carried out within the structure.

First ceiling plate is thoroughly cleaned of dirt.Then you can spend the ceiling waterproofing balconies inside polyurethane mastic.

To achieve stable effect is recommended to apply 3-4 coats of an insulating mixture with a break to dry each layer.

Detailed instructions for balcony waterproofing can be viewed on video.

insulation wooden balconies and terraces Waterproofing

outdoor terraces and balconies is significantly different from the protection of reinforced concrete structures.

Wooden structures are characterized by the beauty of the original, so the owners are trying to maintain their appearance unchanged.

Waterproofing wooden house balcony at least imply impregnation boards antiseptics to prevent the appearance of fungus.

recommended mount planking with a gap between the floor boards of a few mm With self-construction of balconies and terraces made of wood.

Under deck at a slight slant stacked sheet metal, and plums displayed on the street.

If you need to make waterproofing in the already finished wooden house, the floor will have to be removed, put a concrete screed and cover it with a waterproofing: penetrating impregnation, bituminous mixtures or roll materials.

After drying, the base can be re-lay boards.

also allowed waterproofing liquid rubber.Subfloor material is coated underneath the primary.In this embodiment, the gaps between the boards should not be.

They obscure the putty with excellent adhesion to boards, specifically designed for the treatment of wooden balconies and terraces.For liquid rubber spray special equipment is required.

If not, then you can pour rubber into molds and after curing to obtain membrane sheets.Subsequently, they are placed on a rough basis, the seams are filled with fresh rubber solution.

Sheets recommended to lay in 2 rows staggered.Finishing the floor further pushes and compacts the rubber layer.

over an open wooden balconies necessarily performed waterproofing side walls, roof or top plate.

To work with the roof is generally used roll materials, such as roofing, gidrostekloizol.

Install Guttering

open balcony construction convenient, especially in sunny weather.But finishing materials may be affected by precipitation.

To avoid this, the owner must decide in advance how to make waterproofing balconies.

One of the most common option is to install drainage systems.

Video:

outer chute mounted exclusively on a small balcony, the length of which does not exceed 4 meters.The width of the gutter is about 70 cm and a pipe diameter of 70-150 mm.

For designs with a larger area must be in the design stage to lay the internal drain and to ensure the flow of water in the trap.For this purpose, the ladder is disposed in the lowest point of the coating.

For device internal water extraction system installed balcony stairs and balcony funnel.The ladder is mounted in the sexual plate between layers of waterproofing.The balcony

hopper should be fitted with a number of pipes for water outlet, located at different levels.

To avoid accidents, it is best not to set a trap, and a few multiple-funnel and siphon connected to the drainpipes.

If the architectural features of the building does not allow the use of gutters, you can make a direct derivation of the water out through a special drain.

The glazing of balconies or galvanized metal low tides can be strengthened with the help of foam under the window frame.

Ebb set at an angle of 10-15 °, fasten them together with screws.Wide ebb further strengthened the relevant brackets.

drips at the top of the balcony also set fixed to the wall bracket.Docking seam sealants processed.
