Matt22 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Hello I’ve got a balcony floor that I need to waterproof. It’s above some bedrooms we have a beam and block floor, then a rubber membrane then 100mm fibre screed since the screed has gone down we’ve started to Get leaks inside the house we believe the rubber membrane has been pierced when the screed went down as we had no leaks for the 8 weeks that the rubber membrane was down pre screed. we are looking for advice on any products for waterproofing the screed based on past use / experience any advice recommendations welcome thanks for you help matt Edited June 12, 2022 by Matt22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markc Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 What’s going on top of the screed? If tiling then liquid tanking and a properly laid membrane would do the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt22 Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Thanks Markc yes we’re tiling on top - planning to have an anti fracture Mat then S1 grade adhesive and 10mm porcelain tiles. Do you have any advice on brands of liquid tanking thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADLIan Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Buried, or podium, roof is never a good idea unless specialist advice taken. Any insulation involved (it’s a roof!)? Also potentially massive thermal bridge as roof slab becomes internal floor slab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers ADLan- its ia purpose built balcony over a bedroom - beam and block, Celotex insulation (above what was specced for additional thermal value), rubber membrane that got damaged, and then fibre screed. We are looking at a solution that doesnt involve ripping of 100m2 of screed plus a new membrane. Oh the joys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
