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

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.
