1. Waterproofing of the balcony floor
The first thing to do is to make sure that the ground is sloping, with the lower side being the drain. Then make sure that there is at least a height difference of 2 3 cm between the balcony and the living room or the balcony and the living room. It is actually difficult to achieve such a height difference between the living room and the balcony, because the height difference of the building itself may only be about 1 cm. It is recommended to use a marble slab for decoration, which is both practical and beautiful. Of course, both ends and below the slate must do a good job of plugging joints and preventing leakage, and use cement to plug the leakage spirit or water without leakage.
2. Waterproofing of balcony sliding doors.
In the south, the construction technology of balcony sliding doors is often the key to whether the home can survive the rainy season. First of all, we should pay attention to the quality of the door, the sealing should be good, and the inside and outside direction of the waterproof frame should not be mistaken. If the balcony has no windows at all or the windows are not well waterproofed, then it is the turn of the second waterproofing line.
3. Grasp the height and thickness of the waterproof layer on the balcony wall.
In general, the waterproofing paint for the balcony should not be lower than 30 cm, and the height is higher where there is a washing machine. If it is an exposed balcony, it is recommended to make it higher in order to strengthen the waterproofing effect. In terms of thickness, the waterproof coating must be brushed to the 1 of the national acceptance specification5 mm thick.
4. The performance of waterproof coating should be good.
The balcony has to suffer from the sun and rain all year round, and it is difficult to be durable without good coatings with good performance, so when choosing coatings, we should choose those waterproof materials with high tensile strength, large elongation and good aging resistance.
5. Keep the floor drain of the balcony unobstructed.
The balcony floor should ensure the smooth drainage system, especially when the balcony has plants, it should be cleaned regularly to prevent the floor drain from being blocked during drainage, so as to prevent stagnant water from penetrating into the living room. If there is artificial lighting in the garden, it should also be waterproofed, especially the lamps and anti-leakage switches, so as to avoid damage caused by leakage in rainy days.
6. Pay attention to the tightness of balcony doors and windows.
The quality of doors and windows directly determines whether the balcony can block the wind and rain, especially in the south where there is a lot of rain, the typhoon comes to the heavy rain, the sealing of the window is not good, and it is easy to form a situation where it rains heavily outside and leaks light rain inside, so the balcony waterproofing must pay attention to the quality of balcony doors and windows.
