Waterproofing of balconies, terraces, roofs, and coverings
Waterproofing of balconies, terraces, roofs, and coverings
Balconies, terraces, roofs, and coverings are among the most exposed parts of a building, prone to leaks, flooring detachment, and moisture in underlying spaces. External surface waterproofing is essential to protect structural integrity, prevent deterioration, and ensure living comfort.
Targeted interventions and high-performance materials provide durability, resistance to weathering, and long-term functional continuity, reducing maintenance costs and structural risks.
Typical challenges in the sector
Correct waterproofing of external surfaces requires careful management of several variables:
Presence of deteriorated old waterproof layers: bituminous membranes or acrylic systems may be no longer adherent, cracked, or incompatible with new technologies.
Structural movement and microcracks: balconies and terraces are subject to thermal expansion and vibrations, which can cause cracking or detachment if elastic, high-performance materials are not used.
Inadequate slopes and drainage: poor surface geometry can cause water stagnation, worsening problems over time.
Aesthetic and architectural constraints: interventions often need to be non-invasive, preserving existing flooring and minimizing impact on the building.
Exposure to weather conditions: frost, UV radiation, heavy rain, and temperature fluctuations challenge every waterproofing system.
FES Global Group’s approach
FES S.p.A. offers tailored waterproofing solutions, combining next-generation technologies with traditional systemsto ensure complete protection and long-term durability.
Preliminary analysis of existing surfaces: assessment of flooring condition, slopes, critical points, and construction details.
Selection of the most suitable system:
Elastic cementitious membranes
Solar-reflective membranes
Polyurethane or epoxy systems
Hot-sprayed pure polyurea
Modified bituminous membranes
Thin-layer waterproofing cycles for non-demolition interventions
Transparent, non-film waterproofing
Targeted treatment of details: vertical junctions, drainage outlets, joints, thresholds, and cornices are treated carefully, as they are common points of infiltration.
Fast and clean application: minimal demolition and downtime, with solutions compatible with residential, condominium, and commercial buildings.
Continuity and durability assurance: every intervention is tested and monitored to ensure a definitive result.
