Do enclosed balconies in southern China need to be waterproofed?

Be sure to make it waterproof.

The enclosed balcony is basically made of metal window frames and glass, glass and window frames, window frames and tiles, tiles and tiles, and a lot of water seeps in from the gaps. The light rain is fine, but the heavy rain and the wind are unstoppable. Don't think that you can seal the cracks with sealant, they can't be sealed anyway.

Therefore, let's change a way of thinking, instead of worrying about the rain and water on the balcony, it is better to do a good job of waterproofing the balcony. A little bit of water came in, because there were tiles, the balcony was not afraid of water. But waterproofing is not done, and water seepage from the balcony downwards and horizontally, is possible.

We recently met a property owner to see how their home is doing:

The picture is viewed 90 degrees to the right, it can't be adjusted, and I can't help it, don't blame me for twisting my neck, haha. ）

The balcony on the second floor of the duplex was sealed at a great price, and the balcony was not waterproofed. As a result, when it rains, rainwater always flows to the balcony floor, wetting the balcony and indoor walls. Brought us over and wanted us to seal all the cracks on the outside of the balcony.

When we looked, the window frame itself, the window frame and the exterior wall, the new exterior wall and the old exterior wall, etc., were full of water seepage cracks, and there was no way to seal them all. Besides, the cost is relatively high. We suggest that the balcony be waterproof, don't be afraid of water, just prevent it.

Besides, the balcony is sealed, there can be no big water, small water, one is that the tiles are not afraid of water, the other is that the tile can be drained away, the water seeping through the tile gaps, if it does not rain, it can also evaporate from the cracks. The owner accepted the suggestion and the renovation was completed.

I hope it can help you, ask for praise, ask for adoption, ask for attention.

Look at the use of the closed balcony, if it is only for leisure, raising flowers and grass, or putting a recliner to rest, the ground of the balcony is not much necessary to do waterproofing, if there is accidentally sprinkled with water on the ground, use a mop to mop dry. However, the wall of the balcony still needs to be waterproofed to prevent leakage caused by imperfect waterproofing of the exterior wall in rainy days or rainy seasons.

If the enclosed balcony is for domestic use, you need to put a washing machine and dry clothes, and the ground will always be in a wet state, so both the ground and the wall must be waterproof. It is also necessary to pay attention to whether the floor drain is blocked to ensure smooth drainage.

In terms of waterproof coating selection, it is best to choose a big brand, the big brand technology is mature, the product performance is stable, like Niu Yuan, Yuhong, Sika These brands are very good, like Niu Yuan JS composite waterproof coating, the performance meets or exceeds the national standard, and the waterproof effect is long-lasting.

Niu Yuan JS composite waterproof coating.

It doesn't add much cost to waterproofing. In the event of a leak, the cost of repairs is much more than that. In addition, although the balcony is closed, there are windows, in case it rains and forgets to close the windows, people outside can't rush back to ......Therefore, it is still necessary to do waterproofing.

To do it, but also to do it well. Waterproofing is not about the process, but about the result.

The balcony is better to be waterproof. Many people may think that only open balconies or balconies used as laundry rooms need to be waterproofed, but in fact, this is not the case.

Open balconies need to be waterproofed.

The first waterproof gate on the balcony refers to the glass, but the open balcony does not have windows, and when it rains, it is inevitable that the rainwater 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.

Enclosed balconies need to be waterproofed.

Many people think that enclosed balconies do not need to be waterproofed, in fact, if a washing machine is placed on the balcony and there are water pipes, the balcony waterproofing must still be done. The insured waterproof leak repair service is more reliable, Master Bang.

It is recommended to do waterproofing, the balcony is in contact with the external environment in a large area, and Master Bang suggests that it is still necessary to do a good job of waterproofing and insurance.

Of course, I want to do it, and I can protect myself from flooding downstairs and not affect the relationship between neighbors.

Just in case, it should be waterproof.
