About our System/ Installation!
Our system is not another aspahult-based deck system. Asphault-based deck systems have been used with limited success in areas of the country that do not experience extreme weather conditions. Just like roofing shingles made with these same types of materials, asphault begins to deteriorate from the day it's put on.
Unlike other systems, ours is a cement based system that continues to cure and actually gets stronger over time! Through a combination of scientifically developed polymer and aggregate infused powder, our system provides a flexible waterproof system, that is designed for balcony and deck use.
Our System: Bonds, and stays bonded. It is crack-proof, and slip resistant. Our system is UV stable and mold repellent. It is a walkable balcony and deck coating.
New Construction, Finished Deck System
-
6" X 6" Galvanized Wall Flashings installed and set in our product at all wall abutments.
-
3" edge metal set in our product on the perimeters of the balcony/deck.
-
Door Pans installed at each door opening.
-
A layer of our product is troweled over the flashings and set in a bed of reinforcing metal lathing with no color added.
-
The Second Layer again is troweled on without color on the second day. The balcony/deck is fully waterproof after the second layer has dried.
-
Once all trades are finished, the Third Layer is installed with the selected color using a hopper to acquire the desired texture.
-
Finally, a roll-on Color Layer of the same polymer is applied with a High Traffic Clear Seal Coat.
New Construction, Waterproof Mud-Bed for Tile
Flashings and installation of our product is the same as the finished deck system except that after
the Second Layer is troweled on, tile or slate may be thin set directly to the new surface.
Remodeling Existing Balconies/Decks, Balcony Repair
-
Installation is the same as New Construction except for the following:
-
Siding and trim boards will have to be removed to allow for 6" X 6" wall flashing to be installed.
-
Thresholds will have to be removed and possibly the jamb legs of the door may have to be cut to allow flashings to be installed.
-
Brick, Stucco, and some Stone can be Counter flashed.
-
Special Flashing requirements will be priced per job.
-
Hand Rails will need to be removed and can be accommodated for in the flashing details.
-
Covering Existing Concrete
-
Concrete does not allow for use of the Metal Lathing, so a Polypropylene Mesh is used instead.
-
Concrete walls may be flashed using the Poly-mesh product running up the concrete wall at least 6 inches. If the concrete walls present a potential leak situation, the poly-mesh will continue up and under the next available waterproof exterior, or proceed up and over the concrete wall to completely seal it off.
-
The Poly-Mesh will be rolled out on the concrete and the first layer of our product, using no color, will be troweled on and imbedded into the mesh, adhering it to the concrete deck.
-
A second layer of our product will be troweled on, again using no color.
-
Once dry, the blown on knocked down texture layer, with color added, is applied.
-
Finally, the roll-on color layer is applied along with the High Traffic Clear Seal Coat.
