Terrace & Balcony Waterproofing Systems

Explore liquid-applied polyurethane waterproofing for balconies and terraces, from surface preparation to reinforcement and the exposed finish.

UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM

What goes into it.

From a private balcony to a shared terrace, start with the entire surface: its edges, thresholds, outlets and movement joints. The right build-up depends on the base and how the space will be used.

  1. 01

    IBTMAX membrane

    One-component liquid polyurethane that cures into a continuous membrane over a prepared, compatible base.

FROM SURFACE TO FINISH

How the work is approached.

A planning overview. The specified system and current technical data define the installation.

01

Prepare the surface

Review the base, moisture, drainage and existing coatings. Prepare and prime as required by the selected system.

02

Build the membrane

Detail edges, outlets and transitions. Embed reinforcement between liquid coats where specified.

03

Complete the finish

Apply the compatible finish when specified, observe curing requirements and inspect the completed surface.

PLAN YOUR PROJECT

Let’s start with your surface.

Send the approximate area, substrate and photos of drains and edges. We can discuss waterproofing product options and the documentation your installer will need.

  • Existing surface, movement and repair needs
  • Drainage, door thresholds and edge details
  • Foot traffic, sunlight and the desired finish
