Laying Down the Lathe!

Laying Down the Lathe!

Lathe. Yes, metal lathe is one of the foundational components to a strong and flexible deck coating. Perhaps you are wondering what lathe is...you have come to the right place! Prestige Decking is an expert lathe installer...Have you ever wondered what is underneath a deck waterproofing system? What makes it so strong? Flexible? The answer might be surprising to some.

Metal Lathe Installation

In order to bond a waterproof decking system, you need a bridge. Lathe is exactly that.

laying down the latheA sturdy base is accomplished in the 3/4 inch plywood sub-floor. Polymer modified concrete need something more adhesive to bond to than wood though.
Lathe Installation. We staple down 2.5 lb. galvanized metal lathe with heavy duty one inch crown staples. This gives our concrete layer a porous surface for proper bonding. It also achieves a delicate balance between flexibility and strength.  Your anchored deck can flex and not crack!
We make to flattened all the staples to ensure an even surface on which the concrete layer sits. This crucial step in the waterproofing process must be installed correctly, or the remaining layers are in jeopardy of waterproof capability.

Tile Underlay. We recently finished a job where we prepared the deck for a tile overlay. Whether performing our signature layer Crete Decking System or preparing your deck coatings for custom tile with AVM 750 (see right), we have you covered!
After applying our two layers polymer modified concrete and one layer of fiberglass and bonder, your deck repair project is ready for the tile overlay of your choice.

All hands on deck!

All Hands on Deck in Aliso Viejo!

Aliso Viejo in Orange County Ca is situated near the coast of the beautiful Pacific Ocean. This has obvious advantages and some disadvantages that lurk below the surface. Those with decks who want to enjoy the sunset from their balcony or patio need to feel secure that their decking will hold up for the summer barbeques. Combining wet winter rainstorms and dry, hot summers, can punish decking surfaces and below. Prestige Decking calls all hands on deck in Aliso Viejo repair projects. Our local know how and years of expert installation, are your ticket to a ship-shape waterproofing experience.

All Hands on Deck in Aliso Viejo!

Water in the Hole. Weather extremes can wear on coatings. Proper maintenance is key to a long-lasting coating. If you have pooling water or place heavy objects on the deck and water gathers in one area, this can lead to a breakdown in your waterproof coating.

deck waterproofing_drip edge up closeDry Rot Repair. Pooling water gets into the concrete coating and seeps into the sub-floor. Wet plywood can lead to rotted beams. All of this is happening while you think your waterproofed coatings are ship-shape! Soft spots can mean the damage is already done underneath. Prestige Decking specializes in determining the problem and providing creative, cost-effective solutions. We can repair almost any plywood, structural damage.
Flashing Repair. Wet wood often means rusted metal. Under your deck's waterproofing coating is metal flashing. This forms a barrier to repel water from seeping into the cracks on the surface. When pooling water penetrates the concrete coating, it sits on this flashing, causing rust.
Crete Decking System. After repairs, one needs a quality waterproof coating to batten down the hatches! Our five layer, six level system has proven to look, feel, and perform astoundingly, for years of enjoyment.

Deck Drains. We  installed two 3 inch deck drains.
Door Pans. We installed 1 two piece metal flashing door pan.
Lastly, we will be installed The Crete Decking System. This is a multi-layer waterproofing membrane designed for use over plywood sub-floors. It will guarantee no more leaking deck.

Elastomeric Deck Coatings Nightmare!

delaminated elastomeric deck coatingsWhen it comes to deck coatings, don't accept second best! Elastomeric deck coatings or elastomeric paint do not suffice. It might be cheaper now, but you will be exposing yourself to many more troubles in the long run. At Prestige Deck Coating, specialize in replacing old and worn elastomeric deck coatings, and providing a much more sturdy and long lasting solution. Our deck waterproofing systems are fantastic!

Elastomeric Deck Coatings Nightmare!

We recently traveled to a job in San Clemente where we had a nightmare on our hands! The deck had a fiberglass coating with a elastomeric type painted over the fiberglass. We recommended cleaning the surface and then installing our Crete Decking System over the existing material.
This kind of hodge podge set up is a recipe for disaster. A shoddy set like this can produce leaking and dry rot. This can affect the structure. Bad news. Our solution was simple, but effective.

Prestige Decking_plywood repair1) Remove the existing elastomeric deck coatings paint and fiberglass down to the plywood, to check for damage.

2) After assessing that the plywood sub-floor and flashing was not damaged, with no need for deck repair, we proceeded to apply our deck coating system.
This 5 layer waterproofing membrane is designed for use over plywood surfaces.
