Commercial Balcony Deck Coating

Prestige Deck Coating is known for local and residential deck waterproofing excellence. Perhaps you were unaware that we do large commercial jobs as well. Recently we traveled up near Disneyland to to repair and coat the Marriott Fairfield Inn.

Commercial Balcony Deck Coating VS. Residential

(check out the sweet view of the Matterhorn)

We treat commercial balcony deck coating like a residential job...with care.

What allows us to scale a Matterhorn sized project like this, even as a family owned and operated company, is our dialed in 5 step method. In fact, our custom, on the site waterproofing system is highly adaptable. It was developed in a variety of contexts, and for a variety of people, so it is meant to meet any need.
As you can see from the photos, each balcony is the same size. This allowed us to strategize and replicate easily. Commercial balcony deck coating requires uniformity. This is for aesthetics and function.
Each balcony has a slope for run off sheeting. This means that when it rains (and it will this winter), the Marriott needs to be assured there will not be pooling on the decks. All industry code decking has built in sloping so the water sheets off the deck edge. Prestige Decking makes sure that the industry standard of slope is maintained. After one hour of rain, the water level should not be deeper than a dime laid flat.

We make sure that each commercial balcony deck coating deck is waterproofed from foundation to perimeter through each level of coating.

*Metal lathe is stapled on the plywood substrate or if the previous coating is intact, we can coat right over it.
*polymer modified concrete is the first coat. The polymer helps flex and strength.
*The key step we use is putting chop strand fiberglass in between our two concrete coats.
*After a second skim coat of concrete, we add a texture of your choice. This gives the deck a grip.
*Last, are two waterproof coats of concrete fortified paint sealer.

Commercial balcony deck coating is like a stroll down main street! With Prestige Decking, the happiest place on earth can be your deck.

The 411 on Decks and Drought


decks and drought_repair

The condition of decks can be deceptive during drought.
First, little to no water contact on your deck can bring a false sense
of security. What is going on underneath is most important. Dry rot or
pooling water might have already penetrated the foundation. Secondly,
after drought usually comes the flood. Damaged decks will be big trouble
when the rains come. Even a proper deck coating needs to be ready for
extreme wet weather. Here are some signs to look for:

411 on Decks and Drought

Repairing Decks and Drought. Prestige Deck Coating
offers a variety of deck repair options. We can fix small dry rot
sections. We remove and install full plywood re-sheeting. If mold,
mildew or pervasive water damage has reached the joists, we can rebuild
from the bottom up. We can even remove, repair or install deck drains
and metal flashing. If necessary, we can repair railing posts. All of
these services are crucial for being prepared for flooding after a
drought.

Decks and Drought...

"Then the rains came..." If
decks are damaged, rainstorms will instantly expose the problems. It
will likely make the damage worse than if you fixed it during the
drought. Imagine constant liquid on a deck that has soft spots, dry rot
or foundational damage. You might then need a whole deck, not just a
repair. A few hundred dollar fix has now become many thousands. No
bueno.

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.

AVM700_diagram_side3) 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)
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!


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.

Call us today for a free onsite estimate to waterproof you tile deck!

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.

fibre_glass_chopped_strand_mat_e_glassNext, we staple down metal lathe that acts as an anchor for the coating system.

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.
