• WARCO balcony slabs are usually laid directly onto the existing substrate - gluing or screwing is not necessary. The balcony flooring adapts to slight unevenness.
• Balconies with balcony floor panels made of wood, multiplex, sheet metal or grating are effectively soundproofed thanks to the excellent impact sound insulation of the rubber granulate panels.
• Leaking balcony floor slabs can be made permanently watertight and safe to use with the system consisting of ALLESDICHT thick-layer sealant and WARCO balcony slabs.
• The surface of WARCO balcony slabs is non-slip and slip-resistant. It offers fall protection, is pleasant to the touch and invites you to walk barefoot. The surface is water-permeable, dries quickly and insulates against cold ground temperatures.
• Balcony decking from WARCO is weather and frost resistant. By nature, it cannot break, crack, splinter, mold or flake off.
• WARCO balcony slabs are maintenance-free and low-maintenance.

The handy balcony slabs from WARCO can be simply laid on the existing balcony floor slab. Without any screws or gluing. An elaborate substructure is not necessary. It is sufficient if the substrate under the balcony slabs is relatively level, permanently stable and well drained.

This floating installation is particularly advantageous, as the decoupling of the balcony floor slab and balcony covering prevents stresses between the different layers in the structure. Such stresses often lead to spalling or cracks in bonded slabs or tiles.

A dovetail joint (also known as a puzzle or zipper system) is integrated into the edges of WARCO balcony slabs. During installation, the interlocking interlocks and connects the slabs to form a uniform carpet of slabs. However, the connection is reversible, i.e. if necessary, the tiles can be removed individually or completely and laid again in the same or another position.

Noises on the balcony such as furniture moving or shoes clattering are often perceived as annoying. Balcony flooring from WARCO provides a remedy here. This is because the covering is elastic underfoot and absorbs vibrations. This prevents rolling, grinding, tapping and scraping noises from occurring in the first place. Even high-movement fitness training can be carried out silently on WARCO flooring.

Balcony slabs made of pu-bonded rubber granulate are elastic, i.e. permanently flexible and yielding. Nevertheless, garden furniture, flower pots etc. are stable and secure - without leaving marks. Even high heels can walk safely on WARCO flooring. The heel does not sink in and the foot does not twist.

WARCO flooring brings a wonderfully pleasant barefoot feeling to the balcony, comparable to the feeling of walking on naturally firm forest flooring. And it increases safety: the tiles are water-permeable and slip-resistant. In the event of a fall, they provide good fall protection - important for children or senior citizens.

If you walk barefoot on a concrete, tiled, stone or WPC decking floor on a sunny summer's day, you will feel it immediately: this floor heats up considerably. And at night, it radiates unpleasant heat for many hours. On cool days, on the other hand, you get really cold feet. In contrast, WARCO flooring Little radiant heat and isolated noticeable against cold floors.

The pleasant feel-good properties of WARCO floor coverings can be objectively demonstrated in a comparison between rubber, marble (natural stone) and EPS polystyrene.

The heat capacity, i.e. the amount of energy that must be expended to increase the temperature of 1 kg of material by 1° C, is 1.6 kJ for rubber, 0.8 kJ for marble and 1.6 kJ for EPS. In simple terms: marble heats up twice as fast as rubber or polystyrene.

The difference in thermal conductivity is even clearer: polystyrene with a λ value of 0.03 is a particularly good insulating material, for rubber the λ value is 0.16 and for marble, a very poor insulating material, it is 2.8.

Balcony slabs from WARCO are fully permeable to water. No puddles remain on the balcony after rain. When the water seeps through the slabs, it simply takes the fine dirt with it - the "self-cleaning effect".

You can remove coarse dirt with a water hose, high-pressure cleaner, broom or vacuum cleaner. A WARCO floor is therefore low-maintenance and maintenance-free. This means that it does not need to be impregnated, sanded or painted.

You are guaranteed to find the right balcony flooring at WARCO. The surfaces and designs of WARCO floor coverings are as varied as the balcony projects.

Balcony slabs from WARCO are also the better choice from an economic point of view, as the investment costs are manageable and there are no significant maintenance and care costs. What's more, you can lay the slabs yourself and save on tradesmen's costs.
