PLAZA DECK WATERPROOFING
WHAT’S A PLAZA DECK?
We all know what a deck is, and we all know what a plaza is, but what on earth is a plaza deck? Is it simply the floor of any large and open public space? Well no, not exactly; plaza decks are structures that serve as both the roof and floor of a constructed space, differentiating them from most spaces we’d traditionally identify as either a plaza or a deck. Places like parking garages, pedestrian bridges, university courtyards, stadium bleachers and countless other urban environments may all feature plaza decks, where they’re used to make the most out of any given space for more fun and function. The problem is, it’s difficult enough to protect regular floors and roofs, and it’s that much harder to maintain plaza decks, which combine the challenges of both and then some. Most notably, plaza decks are highly vulnerable from water damage and infiltration, and can cause serious harm to buildings, or make the space unusable. To protect plaza decks from water and moisture while also supporting its structural integrity and resistance to myriad risk factors, both chemical and mechanical, plaza deck waterproofing is an invaluable solution. Using high-performance coating technologies like polyurea, in a few hours or less plaza decks can be coated in uniform layers of waterproofing material that creates a durable watertight seal. Instantly, plaza decks and the buildings they’re a part of become safer, more functional, and ready to last for decades to come.
