Frequently Asked Questions About Fire Safety Solutions for Balconies and Escape Routes
Depending on the building class, balconies, pergolas, and exterior staircases may be part of escape and rescue routes. In these areas, stricter requirements apply to the fire performance of the materials used. Triflex liquid polymer systems are available in flame-retardant versions and help ensure compliance with building code requirements. Unsere Experten beraten Sie gerne...
Yes. Fabric-reinforced liquid membrane systems are particularly well-suited for escape routes such as pergolas or outdoor staircases. They provide a seamless waterproofing solution, securely integrate connections and details into the system, and can be finished with flame-retardant surfaces.
The combination of liquid plastic and reinforcing fabric creates a permanently flexible waterproofing layer. It conforms to the substrate, bridges cracks, and reliably seals even complex details such as railing fasteners or door joints.
Yes. Liquid membrane systems are suitable for both new construction and renovations. Existing balconies, pergolas, or escape routes can be permanently waterproofed and covered with a durable wear layer after the substrate has been properly prepared.
Triflex’s PMMA-based liquid plastic systems cure very quickly. Many system layers can be worked on again after just a short time, so that balcony surfaces or emergency exits are often ready for use again within a day.
Triflex liquid polymer systems adhere to many substrates, such as concrete, screed, metal, or existing coatings. With the right primers, different substrates can be reliably integrated into the waterproofing system.
The surface coatings can be applied with special embossing or textured wear layers. This creates slip-resistant surfaces that ensure safe use even when wet.
Fabric-reinforced liquid polymer systems are mechanically strong, weather-resistant, and UV-stable. When installed properly, they provide a durable, functional waterproofing membrane and offer long-term protection for the building structure against moisture.
