Brief Description
Balcony floor sloping the wrong way - what can be done? If a balcony has a negative gradient and the water drains off towards to wall of the house instead of the front edge, the gradient needs to be corrected. A very rapid solution is offered by Wecryl (PMMA) mortar: the surfacing can be applied immediately, without a lengthy interval. The fleece-reinforced PMMA-based liquid waterproofing system is applied first to the balustrade supports and door upstands, and then to the main area. With its tiled look, the balcony floor will look attractive for many years to come. It looks as if it has been tiled and has the feel of a tiled floor underfoot, while also being frost-resistant and easy to keep clean in the long term.
