Terrace over heated room - materiles needed
The terrace is a structural element that differs from the balcony in that it is situated above a room (garage, living area). Terrace waterproofing therefore plays a key role. What are the causes of leakage problems on terraces? An atmospheric phenomenon that affects the durability of the terrace is the temperature amplitude. This can be up to 50°C (+25°C indoors and -25°C outdoors). This translates into high thermal stress between the individual layers of the terrace. As we know from the laws of physics, heat rises upwards and that is where it has its outlet. Therefore, whether it is tile decking insulation or any other type of insulation, in poorly executed waterproofing, the warm mass [...].
