Terrace, Balcony & Outdoor Floor Waterproofing

Terrace, Balcony & Outdoor Floor Waterproofing Solutions

Stop Leaks with a Simple 3-Step System

Balcony leaks often start with small cracks. Rainwater gets in, then spreads under the surface. Over time, you may see stains, peeling paint, or a mold smell.
ZDSpoxy is an epoxy resin manufacturer and waterproof coating supplier. We provide custom waterproofing systems and wholesale supply for contractors, projects, and distributors.
If you want results that last, follow the right order: Repair → Prime → Topcoat.

Quick Check: Do You Need Waterproofing?

You likely need a waterproof system if you see:

  • Water stains on the ceiling below the balcony
  • Hairline cracks on the floor
  • Loose tiles, hollow spots, or grout gaps
  • Peeling near the balcony door
  • Mold smell after rain

Recommended Balcony Waterproofing System (3 Steps)

Step 1 — Repair Cracks and Weak Areas

Goal: stop water paths under the coating.
Repair cracks, holes, and hollow areas first. If you skip this step, the topcoat may fail early.

Tip: moving cracks need flexible repair. Deep damage needs stronger repair mortar.

Step 2 — Apply an Epoxy Primer

Goal: make the coating stick and seal the surface.
A primer helps with adhesion and reduces bubbling. It also “locks down” dusty concrete.

Primer matters most when:

  • the surface is old and dusty
  • you repaired patches
  • the floor is smooth after grinding
  • you want longer service life

Step 3 — Seal with a UV-Stable Waterproof Topcoat

Goal: protect from rain, sun, and daily wear.
Outdoor floors need weather and UV resistance.

Finish options (custom):

  • Clear glossy: shows the base surface
  • Clear matte: lower glare, hides small marks
  • Colored: covers stains and patch marks

If you need safer walking when wet, ask for a slip-resistant texture option.

Surface Prep (Simple, but Critical)

Most failures come from poor prep. Keep it clean and consistent:

  1. Clean: remove dust, oil, loose coating
  2. Repair: cracks and weak spots first
  3. Sand / grind: improve adhesion (important on smooth floors)
  4. Dry check: avoid standing water before primer
  5. Prime: thin, even coat
  6. Topcoat: follow recommended thickness and recoat time

Do not apply one thick coat. Two even coats are safer.

Clear vs Colored: How to Choose

Choose Clear

  • you like the original stone/texture look
  • the base is clean and even
  • you want a “wet look” finish

Choose Colored

  • the floor has stains, patch marks, or mixed colors
  • you want a fresh new look
  • you need better visual coverage

We support custom colors for project matching.

Typical Timeline (What to Expect)

Every site is different, but many balcony projects follow this flow:

  • Day 1: prep + repair
  • Day 2: primer + topcoat
  • Light foot traffic: often same day or next day (system dependent)
  • Full performance: after full cure

If you have a tight deadline, tell us your schedule. We can recommend faster-curing options.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • coating over dust or weak concrete
  • skipping primer to “save cost”
  • applying one thick coat (can trap bubbles)
  • ignoring edges, joints, and drains
  • rushing cure time before rain exposure

A balcony is tested by rain. Small mistakes show up quickly.

FAQs

Can I waterproof a balcony without removing tiles?
Sometimes yes—if tiles are stable and the surface is prepared correctly. If tiles are loose or hollow, removal and repair is safer.
Use a UV-stable topcoat for outdoor balconies. Epoxy is commonly used as a primer layer to improve adhesion.
It depends on finish. For wet balconies, choose a slip-resistant texture option.
Yes. ZDSpoxy is a coating manufacturer and supplier. We support custom systems and wholesale supply.
