The roof is one of the most exposed parts of the building since it has to withstand the action of external elements such as sun, rain, snow, or wind. Its proper functioning depends to a large extent on this element being perfectly protected; For this reason, it is necessary to use systems that guarantee its correct waterproofing.

Waterproofing:

In the market, we find a large number of effective and high-quality solutions offered by Balcony Waterproofing Contractor. To choose the system that best suits the construction project, it is necessary to take into account some technical considerations.

Type of element to be waterproofed and used:

Depending on whether it is a flat or sloping roof, or the type of use that it is going to be given (passable, non-passable, landscaped, Deck, or industrial...), one waterproofing system or another should be chosen, assessing elements such as the compression, wear, exposure to the elements, etc.

Surfaces subjected to intense use, such as the surface of a garage, will require a product with great resistance to compression and wear, compared to that used to treat a green roof, where other aspects must be taken into account such as the action of plants, the appearance of remains or drainage, among others.

Meteorological factors:

The roof is subjected to the action of external elements, therefore, the waterproofing system must guarantee perfect protection against rainwater, wind, snow, and ice, as well as against humidity generated by condensation. Nor should we forget the residual humidity of the support, which can make it difficult to apply certain products.

Another factor to take into account, since it can compromise the resistance and useful life of the product, is the action of UV rays. The incidence of the sun on the waterproofing system can cause it to lose flexibility over time.

Lastly, the corrosive action of derivatives of salts, chlorides in general, carbonation, etc. must be taken into account, which can also affect structures and, therefore, have repercussions on waterproofing. In this case, there are certain waterproofing agents offered by Deck Waterproofing Contractors that fulfill the double function of waterproofing and protecting the concrete.

Environmental impact:

The construction sector demands solutions that are not only effective but also compatible with the criteria of sustainability and energy efficiency. In addition, it is necessary to take into account the current legislation. There it is established that all products must have their corresponding CE marking for the intended use (products with CE marking may not be used if their intended use is not waterproofing defined in the standard).
