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
