Hollywood Beach Multi-Family Balcony Deck Coating System
Multi-tier pedestrian deck waterproofing and exterior building envelope moisture defense across 36 elevated catwalks and private balconies for an oceanfront multi-family property along Hollywood Beach, eliminating chronic subterranean moisture penetration.
The Waterproofing Challenge: Severe Delamination & Unit Water Intrusion
Overlooking the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, this 3-story coastal residential complex suffered continuous water penetration through exterior elevated walkways into units below.
Years of routine paint maintenance without proper moisture barrier chemistry had trapped hydrostatic pressure beneath previous coatings. Blistered paint allowed rainwater containing airborne sea salts to saturate the concrete slab, creating efflorescence crusting and dripping into ground-floor ceilings.
Furthermore, worn surfaces posed a severe slip-and-fall liability for residents during summer downpours. The property owner needed a monolithic, seamless elastomeric traffic membrane that bridged dynamic structural cracks while meeting strict ADA slip-resistance coefficients.
The Engineering Execution: Multi-Layer Polyurethane & PMMA Defense
Planet Construction executed a rigorous 5-step preparation and application protocol certified by high-voltage electronic testing.
Captive Shot-Blasting & Mechanical Profiling
Diamond grinding and captive blast machines removed existing failed coatings, opening concrete pores to ICRI Concrete Surface Profile (CSP) 3 for maximum molecular bonding.
ICRI CSP-3 Mechanical Prep StandardTwo-Component Deep-Penetrating Epoxy Primer
Application of high-solids moisture vapor barrier epoxy primer to suppress concrete outgassing and block hydrostatic pressure up to 15 lbs/1,000 sq ft/24 hrs.
ASTM F1869 Moisture SuppressionPMMA Fleece Detailing at Cracks & Perimeter Cants
Perimeter baseboard terminations, door thresholds, and floor drains reinforced with polyester fleece embedded in fast-curing polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) liquid resin.
Fleece-Reinforced PMMA WaterproofingElastomeric Polyurethane Traffic Base Membrane
Application of seamless aromatic polyurethane base coat providing 400%+ tensile elongation to bridge dynamic seasonal temperature cracking.
ASTM C957 High-Elongation MembraneAliphatic UV-Stable Topcoat with Quartz Traction
Application of UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane topcoat broadcasted with washed kiln-dried silica quartz, locking in color and achieving ANSI A137.1 slip resistance.
