  WATERPROOFING OF TERRACES PROBLEM Moisture problems in the top floor apartments are a common phenomenon. Such problems are caused either because the terraces have no waterproofing layer or because the waterproofing layer is inappropriate (wrong materials, bad application, lack of preservation). Following, there are presented different ways of solving this problem according to its extent, the current condition of the terrace and its future usage. LOCAL WATERPROOFING OF CRACKS, JOINTS AND CONJUNCTION POINTS In many cases local waterproofing of cracks or conjunction joints between different materials is sufficient in order to solve the moisture problems of a terrace. This is the most economical solution of waterproofing. Primarily, there are detected The surface should be dry.

  WATERPROOFING OF TERRACESWITH SLOPE (WITHOUT STANDING WATER) It is very usual, terraces with mosaic or cement mortar grade to have moisture problems. Further down there are explained two different solutions:1)Waterproofing of terraces with brushable elastomeric acrylic sealant ISOFLEX and ISOFLEX- T25, 2) Waterproofing of terraces with bituminous membranes covered with mineral chipping or aluminium leaf. 1st Solution: Waterproofing with the brushable elastomeric acrylic sealants ISOFLEX and ISOFLEX-T25. For the reparation The terrace is of the substrate it primed with can be used the ISO-PRIMER. polymer-modified cement mortar DUROCRET. ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25 should be applied on a clean and dry substrate. After the primer has dried, a layer of ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25 Afterwards, a layer of ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25 is is applied along the intersection of the terrace with vertical applied with a brush or roller. If it is necessary, structures (parapet etc.)as well as along any cracks, tiles and ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25 is diluted 5% with water, joints between the terrace and any metallic element (rain pipes, in order to be applied easier. gutters etc). While it's still fresh this layer is reinforced with a glass mesh or polyester fabric strip of 10 cm width (TREVIRA). The final result is a uniform, elastic and waterproofing membrane without joints or seams. The main advantage of ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX- T25 is its durability to time due to its composition as a waterproofing material and not as a simple colour. Recommendation: In cases where the waterproofing layer should have high resistance to extreme temperature A second coat of ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25 should conditions (from -25ïC to be applied crosswise once the first one has dried and +120ïC) then, instead of can be walked on. ISOFLEX, it is recommended the use of ISOFLEX-T25.

Any necessary repairs to the substrate should be The terrace is primed with the bituminous After the primer has dried, the bituminous carried out using the polymer-modified cement emulsion ISOPAST (diluted 20-50% with water) membranes are heated with a blowtorch and mortar DUROCRET.

The gutters should be cleaned and then coated with ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25, Joints between membrane and the metallic elements (rain pipes, reinforced with polyester fabric strip (TREVIRA). banisters etc), are sealed with ISOFLEX or ISOFLEX-T25, reinforced with polyester fabric strip (TREVIRA). Using bituminous membranes is an ideal solution for waterproofing, as long as the membranes are sealed carefully and the joints with other elements are especially treated. It is recommended bituminous membranes to be placed by professionals.
