I've read other posts on this subject but remain confused - nothing new there!
I have a 2.9 x 2.7 metre balcony covered in mineral felt on 20mm ply with paving slabs on top. It is incredibly well supported below with thick joists so does not flex other than normal expansion and contraction. There is a room below. It is leaking and want to tile it.
I've consulted two tilers and have two answers, neither of which I'm convinced is right especially as both have told me to get the tiles and adhesives first and didn't seem to appreciate that I could end up buying something completely unsuitable.
The existing roof is leaking. As the roof covering probably needs to be replaced I want to know the best base for tiling on:
1. Mineral Felt
2. Fibreglass
3. Butyl Rubber
4. Anything else.
5. What about a screed over existing damaged felt.? If so what.
Advice on the correct adhesive would also be helpful.
I've looked at Walmac(???) balcony matting but at £340 for a 20 metre role I'll have a lot left over and there is a balcony system by Schlur(???) which is out of my price range.
Any advice would be appreciated.
I'm also looking for somebody to do the job in South Devon
Many thanks.
