NCR were engage to remove the existing tiles and membrane from a 100m2 Balcony in Coolangatta. The balcony formed part of the roof structure for the unit below and water ingress had started to cause damage in several areas of the residence.
Safety, as always was our major consideration given that the balustrade need to be removed in order to remove the existing tiles and membrane and then reinstall the new waterproofing and tiles. Utilising our trusted sub-contractors, a full scaffolding system was erected to insure the area was safe for work to commence. The system also provided protection from debris falling below toward other residences.
Demolition and grinding of the tile and membrane removed all reminisce of the previous membrane and following this all cracks were routed out & sealed and a full 3 coat membrane system was reinstalled. This included detailing of surface defects, bandaging to floor wall joints and the installation of a waterproofing upturn to the columns and floor wall joint to insure a watertight system. There previously had not been a skirting tile nor any upturn waterproofing applied to the floor wall joints and NCR identified this as a potential risk for water ingress.
Following the waterproofing system being installed the NCR team then laid 450 x 450 outdoor tiles in a neutral tone were reinstalled to the area and the balustrade was then reinstalled. A beed of uv resistant silicone was then applied to the top perimeter of the skirting tiles, balustrade feet and to the sliding doors where the tiling met the doors ensuring all possible areas for water ingress were addressed.
