24 Eva Road – Balcony Rehabilitation

Toronto, Ontario

The restoration process encompasses a systematic approach to address structural, aesthetic, and functional aspects, ensuring that the concrete balcony is not only visually pleasing but also durable and resilient against various environmental factors.

The comprehensive refurbishment of the concrete balcony involves several crucial steps:

Slab Edge Replacement: The first step is to replace the front 10 inches of the concrete balcony slab edge. This ensures structural integrity and addresses any deterioration or damage to the edge.

Concrete Balustrade Removal: All existing concrete balustrades across all balcony locations are carefully removed. This step is essential for both aesthetic and functional reasons, providing a clean slate for the renovation.

Brick Replacement: Any damaged or deteriorated bricks within the balcony structure are replaced. This not only contributes to the visual appeal but also ensures the overall stability and safety of the structure.

Sealant Replacement: The joint between the top side of the slabs and the building’s shared walls undergoes sealant replacement. This step is crucial for preventing water infiltration and maintaining the integrity of the balcony structure.

Epoxy Steel Reinforcement: To enhance the balcony’s structural strength, new epoxy steel reinforcement is introduced. This provides additional support and durability to withstand various environmental conditions.

Waterproofing Membrane Installation: A new waterproofing membrane is applied to protect the balcony from moisture penetration. This membrane serves as a barrier, preventing water damage and ensuring the longevity of the structure.

Metal Vent Grilles Replacement: The existing vent grilles are replaced with new metal ones. This not only enhances ventilation but also contributes to the overall aesthetic and functionality of the balcony.

Elastomeric Coating Application: The final touch involves applying a new elastomeric coating in the desired color. This coating serves as a protective layer, providing flexibility and resistance to weathering while adding a fresh and appealing appearance to the renovated balcony.
