Nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California is the City of La Cañada Flintridge and the home of one of Dilbeck Real Estate’s offices. Their courtyard needed an updated look and they wanted a specific color match so the entire space had a unified look and feel. The existing tile was in horrible shape and was over a parking garage which meant a waterproofing system was needed.
Westcoat’s Los Angeles based Architectural Rep, Mallory Cabading, worked closely with The Design Studio, L&V Construction, and Westcoat QCA Empire Waterproofing to have our MACoat Custom waterproofing system first specified and then installed per specifications.
Before the MACoat installation, the crew at Empire Waterproofing first needed to address the extensive sloping and patching required to fix the failing mortar bed. After the area was properly sloped and prepped, MACoat was installed with a tile pattern and custom SC-10 topcoat color. The courtyard was then sealed with SC-66 WB Polyurethane Sealer for a satin finish. We were able to work with the customer to create the custom color and fix the failing mortar bed all the while waterproofing the courtyard.
The building is now restored to its former glory and protected from the elements with Westcoat products.
