Waterproofing · 7 mins leestijd

Design balconies and galleries waterproof

Balconies and galleries combine water loads, foot traffic, facade details and a lot of repetition. This is precisely why standardization yields major benefits.
01

Water must be given a logical route

Slope, drain, emergency overflow and sill height must function as one whole. A membrane cannot correct an illogical drainage design.

  • Check urine risk before application
  • Work out sills and facade base in advance
  • Keep drains accessible
  • Record the transition to balustrade feet
02

Reference plane for series quality

Create a complete test area early with color, texture, details and connections. After acceptance, this serves as the implementation and inspection standard for the remaining series.

03

Safe, cleanable and repairable

Slip resistance must be suitable for outdoor use without unnecessarily limiting the cleanability. In addition, describe how local damage is protected and repaired during construction.

PROJECTCHECK

Five points to determine in advance.

  1. 01Slope and drainage checked
  2. 02Sill and facade details approved
  3. 03Reference plane approved
  4. 04Non-slip and color fixed
  5. 05Protection of subsequent construction arranged

Frequently asked questions

Short and technical answers.

Is waterproofing possible after installation of fencing?

That depends on the detail. Preferably, mountings and connections are integrally designed in advance.

Why a trial balcony?

It makes aesthetics, texture, details and work order visible at an early stage and prevents recurrence of deviations.
