hi, have a dilemma. went to quote a job to tile a balcony. problem is they have recently painted it with a weathershield roof repair black paint. as we all know we can not tile onto any sort of bitchamen coating....thats if it is bichamen! 80% has to be removed.
I gave BAL a call he suggested to overboard the balcony and then waterproof it with some sort of fibreglass. He wasn't that clear on what i should use, and where to get hold of this stuff.
Can any one please help???
thanks

Is he having a laff......some intelligent person on the end of the line then....

What substrate is the balcony..?

if i remember correctly i thinks concrete with somesort of silver coating on top. will find this out for sure.

what is spf?
thanks

See if you can make sure it is concrete first......don't want to be using wood outside...



p.s spf.....single part flexible adhesive..

sorry i do know what spf is rapid-setting, flexible, polymer-modified, cementbased adhesive. surely tho it still need to be waterproofed some how.

im guessing your balcony will be ashphalt (only a guess) if it is use a flexible adhesive and grout

SPF is single part flexible by the way

you beat me to it dave

hi lmceramics
but still have the problem of the bitchamen coating!

oh i didnt read about that

It can be removed...just need to know wots underneath first....but there are other methods as well...

As wetdecs mentioned but not ply .... A cement backerboard then uncoupling membrane..just depends on height issues..and drainage..

how would you remove the coating?
if not, how would you fix the backerboard?

height and drainage not an issue. it slopes quite nicely.

how would you remove the coating?

This depends on how thick it is and wot else there is and wot is onto.

if not, how would you fix the backerboard?

This can be screwed and plugged with appopiate fixings for external use

height and drainage not an issue. it slopes quite nicely.

Also schluter make systems specifically for balconies.....if you want alink just ask..

thanks dave will know more details about the substate in the next few days!

no probs in the mean time have a look at this>>> Balcony and terrace construction systems - Schlüter-Systems
