What you can observe
The visible finish is failing, but the condition of the underlying waterproofing is unknown.
Problem guide · Balcony and terrace
Tegels of afwerking komen los
Loose tiles, cracks or weathered joints.
Problem · cause · effect
First understand what is going on.
Only then choose a system.
Why timely assessment helps
Alleen tegels vervangen lost een onderliggend vocht- of aansluitprobleem mogelijk niet op.
What is being technically investigated
Investigate tile build-up, residual moisture and detailing before choosing a new finish or membrane route.
Possible causes
The visible complaint is not always the real cause.
These causes constitute a targeted checklist, not a remote diagnosis.
Defective connections around sill, facade or edge
Onvoldoende afschot of verstoorde afvoer
Scheuren of verouderde waterdichting onder de afwerking
Project-specific control
Three components determine the correct next step.
The Problem Guide provides direction, but does not make an unfounded material claim. For a final system choice, we check the situation on location or based on sufficient project information.
- 01Slope, drain, sills and connections
- 02Cracks, moisture and condition of the existing finish
- 03Gewenste eindafwerking en gebruiksbelasting
Value of a complete approach
Don't just recover.
Making the project manageable.
- Waterroute en zichtbare schade van elkaar onderscheiden
- Design details and main plane as one system scope
- Fasering en gebruikersoverlast vooraf beheersen
In-depth and evidence
From recognizable problem to verifiable project information.
Frequently asked questions
Answered briefly and technically honestly.
Can PolyShield immediately recommend a system?+
First, the cause, substrate, size and project context are checked. An appropriate system direction can then be substantiated.
What information helps with an initial assessment?+
Project address, general scope, some overview and detailed photos, building use and desired planning are usually sufficient to get started.
Do I have to re-enter all the data?+
No. Choices from the Problem Guide are automatically taken to the next tool and project request.
Short route to implementation
Check with two questions whether the project fits.
The project fit prevents an unnecessarily long application. Your problem situation is selected in advance and known data then travels automatically.
