Does the balcony need to be waterproofed?

1. The doors and windows of the balcony position need to be sealed.

For enclosed balconies, when the wind and rain come, the first waterproof closure in the balcony area is the doors and windows. The quality of doors and windows, especially the sealing requirements, are absolutely up to standard, and the inside and outside directions of the waterproof frame must not be wrong.

2. The height and thickness of the waterproof layer on the balcony wall.

Generally speaking, the coating height of waterproof paint in the balcony area should not be less than 30 cm, and the place where the washing machine is placed has higher requirements for the coating application height. If it is an exposed balcony, it is recommended to make it higher in order to strengthen the waterproofing effect. In terms of thickness, the waterproof coating must be brushed to the millimeter thickness of the national acceptance specification.

3. The balcony floor needs to have a slope.

In order to avoid rainwater from flooding into the room, the horizontal slope should be considered when the ground decoration is carried out to ensure that the water can flow to the drainage hole and not let the water flow to the room. The ground should be 30-60 mm lower than the ground of the indoor floor, and a gentle slope should be made in the direction of drainage, and the outer edge should be set up to retain the water to drain the water into the rainwater pipe.

4. Install floor drains with smooth drainage.

In heavy rain and typhoons, when the rainfall is greater than the drainage capacity of the floor drain, there is a possibility of water accumulation on the balcony floor, and when the amount of water is too large, it may overflow the waterproof frame of the sliding door and enter the room. Therefore, when choosing a balcony floor drain, it is best to choose a floor drain with a large amount of drainage and smooth drainage.

5. Choose waterproof coatings with better performance.

Due to the exposure to nature, the waterproof layer of the balcony is exposed to hot sunlight, strong winds, erosion of rain and snow, and severe cold and hot temperatures. Therefore, waterproof materials with high tensile strength, large elongation and good aging resistance should be selected.

Whether the balcony should be waterproof or not, Master Bang maintenance feels that the key is to see whether the balcony uses water.

1. If the balcony is sealed for leisure balcony, it is just a variety of ordinary potted flowers and plants, or the design of placing some leisure seats, etc., the balcony floor is perfect and there is no need to do waterproofing, because no water is used, even if the ground is accidentally sprinkled with water, it will dry with a mop.

However, it is still recommended to do waterproofing on the wall of the balcony, especially around the window, because this involves the factor of moisture on the wall caused by outdoor rain, in order to ensure that the wall of the living room will not be moldy and cracked due to the long-term rainy season, it is better to do waterproofing.

2. If the balcony is used as a living balcony (transformed into a laundry room, kitchen and other areas), it must be waterproofed. Because of the water involved, the floor will inevitably be in a damp state for a long time, especially for laundry rooms. If you have a small apartment, you may consider using the balcony as a kitchen, and in this case, you should also do a good job of waterproofing.

According to the closed balcony, there is no need to do waterproofing, but if the washing machine is installed, there is water supply and water, and it should still be waterproof.

The ninth floor also does not understand, the balcony is equipped with a washing machine, not only does not do waterproofing, but also paves the floor, if there is a leakage, the first unlucky is himself, the trouble is greater!

The floor is paved, and then waterproofing, which is both troublesome and costly, and you also have to understand the distress of the upstairs, after all, he still changed the faucet.

If you force him to do waterproofing now, it is more difficult, you can promise him not to do it this time, but if there is another water leak, in addition to giving you maintenance compensation for losses, waterproofing must also be done!

You can ask the property to testify, I think the upstairs will agree.

After all, when it rains and blows, there will definitely be standing water on the balcony. This is not good for the owners downstairs. I'll take you accountable.

That's basically the case. You have a designer for your home decoration. The designer will tell you.

He'll give you consideration too.

Balconies, especially open balconies, must be waterproofed and drained well due to the possibility of rainwater drifting in, so as to avoid water seepage, causing neighborhood disputes and maintenance troubles.

If you often have water, such as a washing machine on the balcony, it is recommended to do it.

It needs to be waterproofed, and in home life, the important water points of the family are none other than the bathroom, kitchen and balcony. As far as the kitchen is concerned, the way of using water every day is not like the bathroom, where a lot of open water spills onto the floor or walls, only when cooking the water from the basin splashes on the walls or occasionally spills onto the floor. The second is to get wet when wiping the ground.

In the case of the above water sources, the water is eliminated by evaporation, but a small part of the water still seeps into the walls and floors through the gaps between the tiles. For a long time (about a year), the floor and wall surface without a waterproof layer will be more damp compared to other walls.

The balcony must also be waterproof, the first waterproof pass on the balcony refers to the glass, but the open balcony does not have windows, when it rains, it is inevitable that the rain will drift into the balcony, regardless of whether the drainage is smooth or not, it is easy to penetrate for a long time, and then affect the neighborhood relationship.
