Leaking balcony causing waterproofing problems?
A balcony is constantly exposed to humidity, ultraviolet degradation, weathering, acid rain attack and ongoing movement stresses. As a result, most balconies are leaking and require a renovation. The common and old-fashioned solution to this problem would be the removal of the old ceramic tiles, placement of a new waterproofing membrane followed with the placement of the new tiles. The solution means that the house would be turned into a construction yard and also the costs would be high.
The modern solution to this problem is the high-technology, liquid-applied, transparent waterproofing coating system named MARITRANS SYSTEM. This high-technology coasting system is UV-stable, non-yellowing, weather stable, alkali and chemical resistant, pedestrian traffic resistant and even after aging it remains transparent and elastic. The MARITRANS SYSTEM is used for long-lasting waterproofing of balconies and terraces even under the most difficult conditions. The application of the MARITRANS SYSTEM is easy and quick.
