Revitalizing Outdoor Spaces: Alsan RS Deck Resurfacing
At Neo Roofing Solutions, we believe that a well-maintained outdoor space can enhance the beauty and functionality of your home. Recently, we completed an Alsan RS deck resurfacing project that transformed a worn patio into a durable foundation ready for stunning tile installation. Let’s take a closer look at the steps we took to ensure a successful resurfacing with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) membrane technology.
Step 1: Preparing the Surface
The first and most crucial step in any resurfacing project is proper preparation. For this patio, we began by removing the old membrane, stripping it down to the concrete slab. This thorough removal allowed us to assess the condition of the underlying surface and ensured that we were starting with a clean slate. After removing the old material, we meticulously cleaned the slab, ensuring it was free from debris and dust. A clean surface is essential for the adhesion of the new membrane.
Step 2: Priming the Surface
Once the concrete was clean and dry, we applied Alsan 276 Primer over the entire surface. This primer is specifically designed to enhance adhesion and promote a strong bond between the concrete and the PMMA membrane. We ensured that the primer was evenly applied, creating a solid foundation for the next steps in the resurfacing process. The primer not only prepares the surface but also helps to seal any minor imperfections, further enhancing the integrity of the deck.
Step 3: Filling Holes and Imperfections
After the primer had cured, we turned our attention to addressing any imperfections in the concrete. Using Alsan Paste, we filled in any holes or cracks in the slab. This step is vital, as it prevents moisture infiltration and ensures a smooth, even surface for the PMMA membrane. Properly filling these gaps enhances the longevity of the deck and provides a robust base for the new surface.
Step 4: Installing the PMMA Membrane
With the surface prepared and any imperfections addressed, we proceeded to install a layer of fully reinforced Alsan 230 PMMA membrane across the entire horizontal surface of the deck. This membrane is known for its exceptional durability, flexibility, and resistance to weathering. The installation process involved carefully applying the membrane to create a seamless, watertight layer that would protect the concrete beneath.
The reinforcement provided by the Alsan 230 ensures that the deck can withstand the elements, including UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and moisture. This resilient surface will serve as a perfect base for the beautiful tile that will soon adorn the patio.
Step 5: Final Inspection and Cleanup
After the PMMA membrane was installed, we conducted a thorough inspection to ensure that the entire surface was properly coated and free from any defects. Our commitment to quality means we pay close attention to every detail, ensuring that the installation meets our high standards.
Finally, we cleaned the work area, removing any debris and ensuring that the site was ready for the upcoming tile installation. Leaving the area tidy is an essential part of our service, reflecting our professionalism and respect for our clients’ properties.
Conclusion
The Alsan RS deck resurfacing project not only revitalizes the patio but also provides a durable, high-performance foundation for future enhancements.
