Elastic coating for a terrace or balcony
A durable terrace or balcony thanks to an elastic coating
Protect your terrace and balcony with an elastic coating
Applying an elastic coating on your terrace or balcony is an excellent way to extend its lifespan and protect the surface from various weather conditions and everyday use. This innovative coating not only offers a durable solution, but also gives an aesthetic upgrade to your outdoor space.
How do you apply an elastic coating?
Step 1: Preparation
Before you start applying the elastic coating, it is important to prepare the surface thoroughly. Remove dirt and any loose particles from the terrace or balcony. Clean the surface thoroughly with a pressure washer and allow it to dry completely.
Step 2: Repairing damage
Carefully inspect the surface for any damage, such as cracks, holes or loose tiles. Repair these defects before applying the elastic coating. Fill cracks and holes with a suitable repair compound and make sure the surface is completely smooth.
Step 3: Apply primer
If necessary, apply a coat of primer to the prepared surface. The primer ensures good adhesion between the elastic coating and the terrace or balcony. Use a paint roller or a brush to spread the primer evenly. Follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding drying time. In most cases, a primer is not necessary. However, in some specific cases it is recommended to apply a primer.
Step 4: Application of the elastic coating
Use a paint roller or a special coating brush to spread the coating evenly over the surface. Work in small sections and make sure you apply the coating evenly with long, steady strokes. Let the first coat dry according to the manufacturer's instructions and then apply a second coat for optimum durability. If necessary, reinforce with a fibreglass reinforcement in places where cracks or bridging should be done. Want to make the surface nonslip? Then sprinkle quartz sand into the still wet coating. The quartz sand will also prevent wear of the coating.
Step 5: Finishing
Allow the elastic coating to dry completely according to the recommended drying time. Make sure that the coating is fully cured before returning the terrace or balcony to use. Make sure not to place any heavy objects on the surface during this time.
With an elastic coating, you now have a durable and waterproof terrace or balcony that can withstand all weather conditions. This coating protects the surface from cracking, peeling and other forms of wear and tear. Moreover, it offers an attractive finish that upgrades your outdoor space.
Regular cleaning and maintenance of the elastic coating will further extend its lifespan. Wipe the surface regularly and avoid using abrasive cleaners that can damage the coating. With proper care and maintenance, you can enjoy a beautiful and durable patio or balcony with an elastic coating for years to come.
