Sika and ATL Waterproofing collaborated to fix the leaking balcony deck over a habitable space of the Russell family’s home. Using advanced waterproofing technology, a long-lasting and high-quality solution was installed to safeguard the family’s home against water damage.

Project Requirements

The project entailed addressing a leaking balcony deck situated over a habitable space. The existing waterproofing system was stripped back to the concrete deck due to its irreparable condition. SikaScreed®-1 was used to establish proper falls and ensure efficient water drainage. The SikaRoof® i-Cure-22 system, applied over the prepared surface, provided a durable and seamless waterproofing solution. Notably, this liquid-applied system was selected because it could be applied over existing membranes. By combining SikaScreed®-1 for correct falls and the application of SikaRoof® i-Cure-22, the project achieved functional and long-lasting waterproofing, successfully meeting the client’s requirements for a watertight balcony deck over a habitable space.

Challenges

  • Overcoming challenges posed by unpredictable weather conditions
  • Addressing the need for easy detailing around penetration pipes and hard-to-waterproof areas.

Sika Solution

The SikaRoof® i-Cure-22 system was chosen as the perfect solution for this project. This liquid-applied membrane system made it simple to address difficult details & penetrations during installation. In addition to the SikaRoof® i-Cure-22 system, other Sika products such as SikaScreed®-1, & Sikaflex®-11 FC were also utilised to ensure a successful outcome.
