Tiling Your Outdoor Balcony or Deck? Remember the Waterproofing...
A growing trend is turning previously unusable outdoor living space into an oasis complete with tile, torches and plenty of smiles. You may also be contemplating installing tile or stone in place of or over traditional concrete. Many of these projects include upgrading an exterior balcony, patio or flat roof spaces above a garage or sunroom. Regardless of the final project, you must consider a waterproofing barrier to prevent the infiltration of water or moisture.
MFM SubSeal™ Waterproofing Membrane
SubSeal™ is an excellent choice to properly waterproof under concrete or tile.
MFM Building Products manufactures a product called SubSeal. It is specifically designed for this type of application. The membrane is durable and withstands the extreme moisture conditions present in masonry and tile mastics. Consider these benefits:
- SubSeal is a self-adhering membrane that adheres direct to existing concrete or wood substrate (prime masonry or weathered wood surfaces for best adhesion)
- SubSeal installs easilywithout the use of glues, adhesives or mechanical fasteners - simple use a utility knife to cut and roller to provide maximum contact with the substrate
- Subseal utilizes a premium-grade top surface to withstand concrete or tile being installed over top of the membrane
- SubSeal is flexible to move with building expansion and contraction
- SubSeal can be applied either horizontally or vertically, depending on the application
- SubSeal meets ICC-ES AC 38 standards
- SubSeal is Made in the USA and comes with a 10-year limited warranty
