Are you worried about your balcony floor being dirty, deteriorated, or corroded?

It is necessary to check the condition of the floor, remove dirt, and replace or repair deteriorated parts.

Leaving a deteriorated floor unattended can compromise safety and reduce the overall appeal of your balcony.

 

Protect your balcony with waterproofing work

The balcony floor is exposed to rain and moisture and must be waterproof.

By performing waterproofing work, you will protect your balcony floor from deterioration and water leakage.

Waterproofing your balcony will make it last longer and allow you to use it with peace of mind.

If it has been over 10 to 15 years and you are experiencing the following symptoms, consider waterproofing your balcony.

 

●Surface discoloration

A fading floor surface is a sign of deterioration.

In these cases, the floor may lack protection and requires repair.

 

●Cracks and peeling

If your floor is cracked or peeling, there is an increased risk of water leaks.

Urgent repair is required. If cracked or peeling is left untreated, it can lead to further damage to the structure beneath the floor.

 

●Water accumulates

Water pooling on the floor may indicate a drainage problem.

If water puddles are left unattended, they can cause floor deterioration and corrosion.

 

●Proliferation of plants and algae

If plants or algae are growing on the floor, there may be a problem with the ventilation or waterproofing of the floor.

The growth of plants and algae accelerates the deterioration of flooring materials, making repairs inevitable.

 

●Rain leak

If your balcony or balcony leaks, it can cause serious problems such as internal damage and mold growth.

If there is a leak, prompt repair is essential.

 

 

Create a comfortable balcony by replacing the deck

Deteriorating decks are slippery and look unsightly.

By replacing your deck, you can bring a new charm to your balcony and transform it into a safe and comfortable balcony.

PVC is often used for decking materials.

It is durable, suitable for outdoor use, and with proper maintenance and care, can have a long lifespan of nearly 20 years.

PVC decking material is recommended for outdoor decks and balconies due to its excellent performance and long lifespan.

As a material that is both safe and durable, it can be used comfortably for a long time.

It is possible to add a roof to your balcony or balcony!

There are many benefits to having a roof over your balcony.

You won’t have to worry about your laundry getting wet even in sudden rain, and the roof will also protect you from sunlight and UV rays.

This prevents indoor furniture and flooring materials from deteriorating and helps maintain the beauty of your balcony for a long time.

 

Points to note when retrofitting a balcony roof

 

About size
The size of the roof has a big impact on the distance from the drying space.

By choosing the right size, you can protect your drying area from rain intrusion.

The ideal placement would be about 30cm away from the eaves of the roof.

 

Compatible with the local climate
It is important to choose the strength of the roof according to the area where you live.

In areas where there are many typhoons and heavy snowfall, it is necessary to pay attention to the wind pressure and snow load resistance of roofing materials.

If you are having trouble making a choice, we recommend consulting with a local remodeling company.

 

Retrofitting a roof to a balcony requires specialized knowledge.

Roof design, proper installation that takes into account the effects of wind and rain, and construction that complies with building regulations are required.

 

 

３　Points to note when considering adding a balcony

 

 

If you want to add a new balcony during renovation, there are some things to keep in mind.

 

If you want to add a balcony, you will need to apply for a building permit.

This is because it will be treated as an extension and the assessed value of the building will change, which may also affect the payment of property taxes.

The conditions that require a confirmation application vary depending on the region, but the general criteria are as follows.

 

In case of semi-fire prevention/fire prevention area

In this case, regardless of the area, you will need to apply for confirmation regarding the extension or renovation of the balcony.

 

For houses outside semi-fire prevention/fire prevention areas

If your home is located outside of a quasi-fire protection area or fire protection area, you will only need to apply for confirmation for extensions or renovations that exceed 10 square meters.

 

There are many ways to renovate your balcony, including repairs.

For safety reasons, it is not recommended to leave deteriorated areas unattended.

We recommend that you take immediate action before your body is affected.
