I have just created a balcony area by turning part of a bedroom into outdoor space, so the floor of the balcony is 18mm wbp over the original joists with reception room below. I need to finish with a surface suitable to walk on/ put a table & chairs on. The issues are waterproofing the area and, if tiles are used, making sure that if the grout fails or tiles crack with movement or frost/ thaw, any water that gets through doesn't pool and cause further damage. Any ideas how to waterproof first and what tiles to use/ system to lay them or alternative covering?
