Hello,

we have an additional balcony in our new building, which was sealed with foil over the insulation. Around the balcony there is a row of stones, against which the foil lies.

How can I best install flooring in the form of WPC deck boards there? I would like to raise the flooring to the level of the row of stones to have an even surface. But how do you attach supports there, for example? Drilling into the sealing would be rather bad ;-).

Or can it be filled with other filling material and the WPC boards placed directly on it?

Hello questioner. WPC decking boards are always fastened; unlike, for example, heavier concrete paving slabs, lighter boards (whether WPC or wooden boards) must always be fastened to a supporting element. For WPC decking boards, manufacturers often already provide appropriate supports, otherwise you have to work with battens on which the WPC decking boards are fastened with suitable clips. If you cannot then match the heights, the only solution is to align the edge stones to the appropriate height top of the surface. ---------------------------- Regards: KlaRa

Are WPC decking boards the standard for roof terraces today? They were recommended to me yesterday for our roof terrace as well. At first glance, however, they seem quite expensive to me.

What options do I have to cover a 19.55m² roof terrace cost-effectively and weed-proof? Currently, we have small concrete slabs where weeds grow through everywhere, and you spend 2 hours on it once a quarter. Definitely never again anything like that!

The roof terrace will not be used very frequently, so we would like to implement a cost-efficient solution here. I believe WPC is not the right choice, is it? What would be alternatives?

You shouldn’t ignore the aftermath when considering the price. We have to treat our terrace every year, which costs time and money. Then you also sometimes get splinters from the wood. Although wood has its charm.

Then take a look at WPC decking after 5 years. They don't look new anymore either, and some (cheap?) suffer from the sun and develop a gray haze.

Is it possible to install Xenox granite ceramics in such a way that there is no weed problem? The architect mentioned something about some kind of bags that can be placed underneath, so there is no soil present where anything could grow.
