Part 9- How To Replace A Leaking 2nd Floor Balcony Deck & Make It Bullet Proof?
Above Photo: Detra with thinset applied
Ok, now that we have the Detra Matt layed and the seam sealer applied, it's time to make sure the entire floor is level and doesn't have any lumps or humps. The tile installer applies a layer of unmodified thin set and prepares the floor for the final layer, the tile.
Notice in the photo how the stucco is applied with a new decorative band. After removing the old stucco up the side wall a new issue developed. How to add new stucco and have the texture match the existing. Frankly, it's impossible to exactly match the old texture with the new. I chose to cover the splice with a new decorative band on the top and install a weep screed on the bottom edge of the wall. This manages the matching issue, drainage plane and a splice that is easier to seal with paint and caulk at the top.
Have an awesome day!
Mike
