Watertight tiles you ask? Does your tile deck have cracks, loose tiles? Is it swelling? Perhaps, it seems rock solid on top, but a mush pot below? You might notice signs of discoloration. Whatever the problem, you likely have water damage. Tile is notorious for leaking. Not a worry for Prestige Decking! Read on below for one of our most recent projects.
Watertight Tiles Installation
Installing tiles is the easy part. What goes underneath makes all the difference.
Watertight tiles are beautiful, and can be expensive. But, the problem isn't cost – as much as the insidious grout.
So, while you are enjoying the look and feel of your tile, underneath there could be pooling water. Pooling water = no bueno. 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. Owie!
Prestige Deck Coating can help! We are experts in waterproofing your balcony, patio, roof, walkway, or stairways.
We can prepare your watertight tiles to succeed.
AVM Industries has developed an excellent system for tremendous watertight tiles. Here are their detailed steps.
In a recent project, we repaired the framing of the deck and installed new plywood. This system has a polyester fabric embedded in the waterproof membrane. In order to insure flexibility and durability, this is necessary under the heavy weight of the tiles. For extra security and strength, we tied in a concrete slab to the wood substrate.
Prestige Deck Coating works with each customer to meet individual needs. We use eco-friendly products. We offer 10 year warranties on most systems. Our supervisors each have at least 30 years experience in the deck coatings industry.
