Balcony – outdoor areas

Although ceramic or stone coverings provide greater weather resistance than other surfaces, frost, rain and sun attack traditional terrace and balcony structures. If the joints become damaged, water penetrates through the cracks and is absorbed by the laying mortar. With frost, the water increases in volume, eventually damaging the structure and chipping and lifting the tiles. Torggler focuses on the system especially for this application. A resin-bonded tile adhesive combined with a highly flexible waterproofing cement mortar guarantee maximum safety.
