Progress Profiles: redefining waterproofing for durable balconies
Progress Profiles delivers innovative waterproofing solutions for balconies, combining durability, elegance, and easy installation to protect and enhance outdoor spaces.
Rain and bad weather put balconies and terraces to the test. Inadequate waterproofing can cause water infiltration, resulting in damage to the structure, the formation of mould and the detachment of tiles. To avoid these problems and guarantee the maximum durability of outdoor spaces, it is essential to rely on high-quality solutions and professional installation, as offered by Progress Profiles.
In fact, the company has developed an innovative system to anticipate the occurrence of these critical problems and to make life easier for installers, simplifying even the most complicated renovations.
It consists of the PRODESO® DRAIN 8 SYSTEM, a membrane only 8 mm thick, specially designed for outdoor use. Composed of 5 layers, this solution is ideal for waterproofing, draining, and uncoupling exterior coatings, ensuring vapour release even on substrates that are not perfectly seasoned. The presence of an “air chamber” under the flooring enhances micro-ventilation, allowing the adhesive to dry quickly and evenly, drastically reducing the formation of triacetates and the appearance of efflorescence in the joints. It is therefore perfect for improving spaces and is practical and quick to put in place. For simplified installation, it is completed with an elastic polyethylene and polypropylene strip, and a two-component waterproof adhesive.
Furthermore, Progress Profiles has developed the ideal ally for the protection of terraces or balconies: PROTERRACE DOUBLE DRIP, an aluminium perimeter profile designed to protect the edges of coverings. It is indeed equipped with a vertical wall to protect the end part of the tiles, and a second vertical part that preserves the perimeter of balconies, terraces, and verandas. It is also equipped with a spacer that guarantees its correct positioning and an adhesive strip that prevents the silicone from obstructing the drainage holes. Available in various embossed or semi-gloss colours, from white to grey, beige to dark brown or corten, it can be elegantly combined with any type of façade. The new Stone Line finishes, which reproduce the material effect of stone, have recently been launched.
The double drip allows a perfect flow of drainage water when the profile is combined with the PRODESO® DRAIN 8 SYSTEM membrane: together, in fact, they are the ideal solution for renovating or creating a state-of-the-art installation of outdoor floorings.
