This guide focuses on the ‘good’ design, specification and construction requirements for all types of waterproof decks and balconies (Building Code, structure, substrate, membrane and walk-on surface) to residential buildings (stand-alone houses, townhouses, apartments and so on) to ensure such decks will be serviceable over the life of the building.

There are two compliance paths for waterproof decks – Acceptable Solution E2/AS1 and specific design. This guide focuses on E2/AS1.

This Good Practice Guide will be an essential reference tool for all those involved in the selection, design or construction of waterproof decks.

Note that membranes must be applied by certified contractors or approved applicators, and this guide is not intended as a how-to guide for inexperienced or non-approved applicators to apply membranes.
