How to apply a PVC vinyl membrane on your terrace?

Covering terraces, roofs, balconies and even swimming pools with PVC vinyl membrane is a solution increasingly adopted by owners. As far as the terrace is concerned, the installation of this material has many advantages. Also find out how to properly apply the membrane.

What are the advantages of having a PVC vinyl membrane installed on a terrace?

Here are the main reasons why you should have a vinyl PVC membrane installed on your terrace:

• This material is aesthetic. Indeed, the membrane enhances your exterior and brings a touch of elegance to your terrace. It will always look new and well cared for.

• The vinyl membrane is very resistant to the vagaries of the weather, UV rays and extreme cold. It can have a life span of 15 to 25 years. In addition, its surface is easy to maintain and clean with water and mild soap.

• The vinyl membrane is waterproof. If your terrace is made of wood or concrete, you can be sure to protect it effectively against humidity for years. Finally, the surface of the PVC vinyl membrane has a non-slip texture. This ensures optimal safety even when it is wet.

How to install a PVC vinyl membrane on your terrace?

The installation of a PVC vinyl membrane on your terrace takes place in several stages:

• The first is to completely clear the terrace. To do this, remove all objects on the surface to be worked on, ranging from furniture to railings, not to mention any old coatings. Strip the space completely bare to facilitate the installation of the membrane.

• The second step is to install plywood over the entire surface. It will make it possible to flatten the entire surface and hide any defects. The plywood will also make it easy to glue the membrane. Be careful, however, we recommend thick plywood that will be able to support the weight of people and furniture on site.

• The final step is to apply glue to the plywood and install the vinyl membrane. During this step, it is important to proceed with patience and dexterity. Avoid air bubbles which could prematurely detach the membrane.
