When the waterproofing function fails, the repairing technique must be chosen carefully, making a series of appropriate preliminary assessments that involve considerations: technical, economic and aesthetic.<\/strong><\/p>\n A precise collection of preliminary information is the basis for a correct assessment of the causes and extent of the deterioration.\u00a0In the first place, it is essential to have perfect knowledge of the construction technique used in the construction of the flat roof since, depending on whether it is a brick-cement slab, a pre-slab, a solid slab in reinforced concrete or another type of structure,\u00a0different could be the critical points on which to focus attention<\/strong>.\u00a0A preventive analysis of the structure also allows the identification of surfaces potentially involved in condensation processes, therefore being fundamental in orienting any diagnostic investigations.<\/p>\n In more complex cases, an accurate overview with photographic details is a basic starting point, better if accompanied by thermal images that can highlight the extent of infiltrations.\u00a0<\/strong>However, some weaknesses are frequently present and it is worth remembering:<\/p>\n Particular attention should be paid to all these weaknesses, as they could be decisive in the deterioration in progress and in the choice of waterproofing technique.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1232″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” onclick=”zoom”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row_full_center_content” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column el_class=”relative”][vc_media_grid element_width=”3″ gap=”15″ item=”289″ grid_id=”vc_gid:1616413760314-347e3d99-3bdc-7″ include=”767,770,773,776″ el_class=”allignBottom”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row_full_center_content” margin_top=”20px” padding_top=”0″][vc_column][vc_column_text]Three waterproofing techniques are considered below which, thanks to their different performances and purposes, embrace the vast majority of cases.\u00a0<\/strong>The techniques are:<\/p>\n They are very different techniques from each other, each of these characterized by precise advantages and equally precise limits.\u00a0The choice of one of these three solutions must be taken considering technical, economic and aesthetic aspects summarized in the following table.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Products and technologies to use” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24px|text_align:left|color:%233c6422|line_height:30px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_column_text]PROTECH BALCONY<\/strong>\u00a0SYSTEM, composed by: acid detergent for deep cleaning, putty, polyurethane sealant and transparent non-film impregnating treatment.<\/p>\n OSMOCEM FLEX<\/strong>\u00a0SYSTEM, composed by: elastic band for connections and joints, alkali-resistant glass fiber mesh embedded in a two-component elastic\/plastic cementitious compound.<\/p>\n SYNTECH POLIUREA<\/strong>\u00a0SYSTEM, composed by: epoxy primers for concrete and steel surfaces, various types of polyurea resins and final protective polyurethane treatments.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row_full_center_content” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″ padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column][vc_tta_tabs style=”flat” shape=”square” color=”purple” spacing=”10″ gap=”15″ active_section=”1″ no_fill_content_area=”true”][vc_tta_section i_position=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-circle-down” add_icon=”true” title=”PROTECH BALCONY” tab_id=”protech-balcony”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZG90dGklMjBncm91cCUzRCUyMjglMjIlNUQ=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_position=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-circle-down” add_icon=”true” title=”OSMOCEM FLEX” tab_id=”osmocem-flex”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZG90dGklMjBncm91cCUzRCUyMjklMjIlNUQ=[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section i_position=”right” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-circle-down” add_icon=”true” title=”SYNTECH POLIUREA” tab_id=”syntech-poliurea”][vc_raw_html]JTVCcHJvZG90dGklMjBncm91cCUzRCUyMjEwJTIyJTVE[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_tabs][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row row_type=”row_full_center_content” margin_bottom=”20″ padding_bottom=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”relative”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1616413641063{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”]Terraces, balconies and flat roofs are external extensions of the living spaces which …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":1654,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"\n\n
