Tremendous Watertight Tiles

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.

Riverside Tile Underlay

 Do you want a classy looking waterproof deck. Perhaps you should look into the AVM tile underlay system. What is tile underlay system, you might ask? Prestige Decking can help alleviate the confusion and provide a solution!

Riverside Tile Underlay

The Problem

Indeed, tiled decks are aesthetically pleasing. Yet, they can be expensive in more than one way. But, the problem isn't cost as much as the grout. Like any other concrete based material, tile deck grout seeps water. If what's underneath is not waterproof – grande problemo.

So, while you are enjoying the look and feel of your tile, underneath there could be pooling water. Pooling water = malo. After a while, it causes dry rot in the wood sub-floor or structural beams. If that wasn't bad enough, oftentimes a deck repair with a tile underlay does not allow for salvaging. You get zapped twice - double malos – aye yie yie!

AVM Tile Underlay System

AVM Industries has developed a solid system for waterproof tile underlay. Below are their basic steps (for the specs, go here). Prestige Decking is certified to install this excellent waterproofing solution. In fact, we recently traveled to Riverside County, CA and installed a large beautiful tile system (check the images on the left).

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.

3) Install the AVM Membrane 700 to all the remaining surfaces with a minimum 2 inch overlap at the seams and completely overlapping the 6 inch strip

4) Next, 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 waterproof tile underlay system is complete!

It is our pleasure to work with each customer individually. We use eco-friendly products. Not only that, but we offer 10 year warranties on most systems.
