What's in the 14-20 m² Leaking Balcony Kit?

The Starter Kit Leaking Balcony Waterproofing 14-20sqm is a larger variant of the over-tile balcony repair kit - same ACTFLEX 400 Clear system, scaled to cover a larger balcony or terrace area in a single project.

How is this different from the 9sqm version?

Same system, more material. Scaled for medium-sized balconies (typical second-floor unit balcony or larger terrace). Includes additional 400 Clear, more reinforcement tape for corners and edges, and potentially additional rollers/brushes.

Will one person apply 20sqm of 400 Clear in time?

ACTFLEX 400 Clear has a typical pot life of 30-60 minutes depending on temperature. A single applicator can comfortably do 20sqm in two-coat application within the working time. For larger areas, work in sections or with two applicators.

What if my balcony has cracked tiles?

Repair any cracked tiles, regrout failing joints, and address any structural movement before applying the 400 Clear system. Cracks in the substrate will eventually telegraph through any waterproofing membrane.

Is this an AS4654-compliant system?

ACTFLEX 400 Clear is a remedial waterproofing system. For full AS4654:2012 compliance on new construction, use the under-tile ACTFLEX 906 WPU or 929 system. The 400 Clear system is the right choice when you cannot remove the existing tiles.

How to Use

Apply three thin, even coats by trowel, brush or roller, first coat with a mohair roller, minimum 4 hours between coatsInspect every surface: it must be stable, sound and structurally intact, free of voids, protrusions and movement
Replace every broken, popping or loose tile and remove all compromised, loose or damaged grout
Repair all cracks in concrete, render or screeds with ACTFLEX MS PRO or Soudal T-Rex before coating
Remove dust, grease, laitance and all loose, flaking or friable material with stiff brushes, scrapers and vacuum equipment
Treat moss and mould with household bleach diluted 1 part bleach to 2 parts water, rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry completely
Remove grease with appropriate detergents, rinse the detergent off, final-rinse with clean water and dry
Where water is trapped beneath the tiles, aerate the substrate for a minimum of 3-5 days and confirm it is dry
Confirm the surface has stayed moisture-free for at least 3-5 days with moisture content below 4%
Fill and fillet all corners, wall and floor junctions, hob junctions and penetrations with ACTFLEX MS PRO or Soudal T-Rex, tooled smooth and cured tack free
Complete an adhesion trial area on the substrate before full application
Stir thoroughly before use to a uniform consistency
Use neat and undiluted for trowel application; for brush or roller dilute 2 parts ACTFLEX 400 CLEAR to 1 part clean water, mechanically stirred
Apply the first coat with a mohair roller for full wetting into grout lines and surface texture
Allow a minimum of 4 hours between coats at 25C and 50% RH and apply all coats within 48 hours
Build three thin, even coats to 0.2 mm dry film thickness over tiles and 0.5 mm over joins, grout lines, mortar, concrete and level surfaces
Where slip resistance is required, broadcast ACTFLEX ANTISLIP onto the wet second coat and lock it in with the third coat
Check for a continuous, pinhole-free film over every grout line and junction, fillets fully encapsulated and no ponded material
Keep rain, washing and standing water off the surface for at least 3-5 days; full cure is 5-7 days after the final coat

Technical overview

ACTFLEX 400 CLEAR is a single-pack co-polymer emulsion with synthetic rubber latex, supplied in this kit for stopping leaks through tiled balconies, terraces, courtyards and internal wet areas without removing the tiles. It is applied over the existing tiles as three thin coats with no primer and no system build-up, with all corners, wall and floor junctions, hob junctions and penetrations filled and filleted first, and it fixes the leak for up to five years. It is not a waterproofing membrane and is never specified as one, and no membrane classification applies or is claimed. No accredited test reports exist for this product and all performance values are published as typical Forspec R&D characteristic values. No product or performance warranty is offered.

Key applications

Leaking tiled balconies, courtyards and terraces - remedial waterproofing over the existing tiles
Leaking tiled showers and internal wet areas
Parapet walls, hobs and building exteriors - stopping water ingress through the external envelope
Waterproofing of terracotta tiles and pavers
Top-coating and sealing of timber floors
Sealing sandstone surfaces and face brick walls

Surface suitability

Tiles (every broken, popping or loose tile replaced first; moisture below 4%)
Grout lines and mortar joints (all compromised, loose or damaged grout replaced first)
Concrete and level surfaces (0.5 mm minimum dry film thickness)
Terracotta tiles and pavers
Timber floors (top-coating and sealing)
Sandstone surfaces
Face brick walls
Parapet walls and hobs (stopping water ingress through the external envelope)

A temporary solution only - it fixes the leak for up to 5 years, it is not a waterproofing membrane and is never specified as one, and no product or performance warranty is offered. It does not fix broken, popping or loose tiles or loose grout; every defective tile and grout line is rectified first and all cracks repaired with ACTFLEX MS PRO or Soudal T-Rex before application. Never apply to a damp surface - substrate moisture must be below 4% and the surface completely dry, and never apply over water trapped beneath the tiles until the substrate has been aerated 3-5 days and confirmed dry. Do not apply below 10C surface temperature. Apply all coats within 48 hours of each other. No rain, washing or standing water on the surface for at least 3-5 days after the final coat. The film may turn cloudy white where water ponds or sits and some yellowing may occur within the service life. Not slip-resistant as supplied - broadcast ACTFLEX ANTISLIP to the designed slip rating. Complete an adhesion trial area on every substrate before full application. Classified a Hazardous Chemical and Dangerous Goods - causes skin and serious eye irritation, may cause respiratory irritation, and is toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects.
