How to Waterproof Your Tile Deck

Does your tile deck have cracks? Is it swelling? Or does it seem rock
solid on top, but soft underneath? Perhaps it shows signs of
discoloration. Whatever the issue, it is likely you have water damage.
Tile is notorious for leaking. Not a worry for Prestige Decking! Watch this video to see the AVM 700 waterproofing system in action.


How to Waterproof Your Tile Deck

Tiles are beautiful but can be expensive. But, the problem isn't cost as much as the grout.

Tile deck grout seeps water, like any other concrete based material.

tile deck underlay 700So,
while you are enjoying the look and feel of your tile, underneath there
could be pooling water. Pooling water = bad. After a while, it causes
dry rot in the wood sub-floor or structural beams. worse yet, oftentimes
a deck repair under tile does not allow for tile salvaging. You get
zapped twice.

Prestige Deck Coating can help! We can waterproof
your balcony, patio, roof, walkway, or stairways. We can prepare your
tile decking to succeed.

AVM Industries has developed a fantastic system for tile deck underlay. Here are their steps  (go here for all the details).

1)
Install a 6 inch wide membrane strip at deck perimeters, joints,
cracks, sheet metals, drains, scuppers, posts, door ways, entry ways,
etc.


2) Use a wider strip if the 6" strip will not provide adequate waterproofing protection.

4)
Protective coating (optional with the following exception: required
when membrane is installed directly to plywood substrates).


5)
Protective layer: apply the AVM Crete 6700 over the cured membrane 700
at least 1/8 of an inch thick. Now your tile deck underlay is complete!

Fiberglass Waterproofing Your Deck

fiberglass waterproofing_skim coatYou might know what fiberglass waterproofing is, but on a home deck? Yes, the boat and surfboard industry have helped develop
decking technology in many ways. You do not have to settle for a clear
sealer that has to be re-applied each year. You do not have to deal with
a rubber cement deck coating that is sub par. At Prestige Decking, we install a custom deck waterproofing membrane that can last upwards of 30 years!

Fiberglass Waterproofing

 What sets apart Prestige is our fiberglass waterproofing method.

Many
other deck coating companies install a similar product. The often
neglect the key component that ensures a watertight seal. Concrete deck
surfaces are sturdy, but porous. Water soak right into concrete
surfaces. Then it can pool on top of your plywood sub-floor, without
anyone knowing. Until it is too late. This is usually when customers
call us, after dry rot or soft spots are detected.
Our six level, five layer site modified Crete System is flexible, strong and waterproof. Fiberglass waterproofing at its finest.

First, we repair any damage to the plywood sub-floor.

Our first coat is polymer modified concrete.

The second coat is the fiberglass waterproofing matting with resin bonder.

Third is another skim coat of concrete to sandwich the waterproof goodness into an impervious surface.

Fourth is a texture coat of concrete to give grip and pattern.

Last, is the concrete fortified paint sealer in the color of your choice.

Fiberglass
waterproofing complete! Prestige offers free onsite estimates. Our
fiberglass waterproofing experts have up to 40 years experience in the
industry. We use only industry grade products. We are licensed and
bonded. The Crete System comes with a 10 year warranty.
