tiling to balcony - TilersForums.com

[merit]

hi all
been asked to price up for a square balcony approx 23 metres sq
it been waterproofed with tuff deck which is a grp roof or fibre glass finished with top coat
structure wise its sound and all flashings ect are in tact
its has a handrail running around the perimeter which stops at the house which ill stop tiles short of ,to finish with full tile
questions are
is there a way to manage the water if i dont tile up to the house ,ie stop the tiles short with no upstand at the house
would i need to use ditra drain or could i just use ditra uncoupling
whats the recommended adhesive for fixing to fibre glass
hope ive explained enough
cheers

Would something like this work better or am I barking up the wrong tree http://www.schluter.co.uk/balcony_construction.aspx

Don't know of any adhesive that are ok for GRP External situations.

I don't quite understand the reason for stopping the tiles short.

I do.....

Just quoting a 100m2 Balcony ATM.

TileMaster Ulitmate S2 will be specified, along with Dural Ci++ matting.

Balcony will need to be slurry primed. Mix Primeplus 1-1 with water then add 30% of TM Ulimate to make the primer gritty. Coat surface. lay Ci++ down with Ulitmate, then use Setaflex for fixing tiles. Movents joints every 5m cube.

Thats what ive advised anyway.
