Why this application fails

Where problems start

  • Standing water and poor drainage attack thresholds and edges
  • Movement cracks the surface at junctions
  • Failed thresholds let water into the building
  • Thin or worn finishes lose slip resistance

Conditions to evaluate

  • Substrate type and soundness
  • Drainage, falls and thresholds
  • Movement and deflection
  • Balustrade fixings and penetrations
Critical details

Where the work is won or lost

  • Door thresholds and upstands
  • Drainage outlets and falls
  • Balustrade posts and fixings
  • Edges and drip details
Specification checklist

What to confirm

  • Threshold and upstand heights
  • Falls to drainage
  • Balustrade penetration detailing
  • Slip-resistance requirement
  • Finish appearance

FAQ

Balconies — common questions

Will the finish be slip-resistant?
A slip-resistant broadcast is standard for pedestrian areas; the level is chosen to suit the exposure and confirmed against the specification.
