SmartCare Ultra Block 2K for Balcony Waterproofing

Why Waterproofing Balconies is Essential

Balconies frequently face constant exposure to the elements. They serve as the extensions of our living areas. However, they could be seriously harmed if they are not protected from water leaking into the structure. The following are some issues that could arise:

• • Structural Damage:

Constant exposure to moisture due to humidity and weather conditions can affect the foundation of the balcony and weaken it. This, in turn, can lead to cracks, which can also jeopardize your safety. 

 

• • Efflorescence:

Walls and floors might develop white salt stains that not only look unpleasant but also demand frequent cleaning. These deposits can make the area look untidy and add to your maintenance workload.

 

• • Dampness and Leaks:

Water retention over a prolonged period of time can often lead to wet patches, leakage in ceilings below the balcony as well as peeling of paint, which can increase the overall repair costs.

 

Ignoring these problems can cause serious damage over time. But there is a solution—SmartCare Ultra Block 2K. This powerful waterproofing solution is made to handle these challenges head-on. It blocks water effectively, keeping your balcony safe from cracks and those annoying white stains. With this protection, your balcony stays strong, looks great, and gives you peace of mind.

What is SmartCare Ultra Block 2K?

SmartCare Ultra Block 2K is a powerful two-part waterproofing paint that is made with an acrylic polymer mixture. It was developed to effectively prevent water damage to certain places. Once applied, it forms a smooth, pliable layer that completely keeps out water. It is ideal for waterproofing bathrooms, patios, and balconies since it adheres firmly to surfaces and manages water pressure effectively.

Key Features of SmartCare Ultra Block 2K:

• ● Resists up to 5 bars of positive hydrostatic pressure.
• ● Prevents salt deposits on surfaces for long-lasting aesthetics.
• ● Withstands structural movements without cracking because of its great elastic qualities.
• ● Offers a waterproofing warranty of up to five years.

Step-by-Step Guide to Balcony Waterproofing

To ensure optimal results with SmartCare Ultra Block 2K, follow these steps:

Step 1: Surface Preparation

• ● Homeowners must clean the balcony surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, oil, and loose particles.

Step 2: Mixing

• ● Two parts of the powder must be mixed with one part of the liquid.
• ● Homeowners must keep stirring until the mixture turns smooth and does not have any lumps. 

Step 3: Application

• ● First Coat: The mixed slurry must be applied on a Saturated Surface Dry (SSD) surface using a brush or roller and the entire area must be covered evenly.
• ● Drying: To guarantee correct adhesion and avoid peeling, the first coat needs to be dried for four to six hours.
• ● Second Coat:  For complete coverage, the second coat needs to be applied perpendicular to the first.

Step 4: Curing

• ● The applied coats must be cure for 3 to 5 days. This guarantees that the cement is hydrated, thereby increasing durability.

Special Recommendations

• ● For balconies with severe leakage, consider applying three coats for added protection.
• ● Try tile gap fillers like SmartCare Epoxy Tile Grout, which fills joints up to 10mm wide, providing excellent adhesion and waterproofing.
