WEST CHESTER, PENNSYLVANIA

Project History
Cambridge Hall Apartments is a well-kept complex in
West Chester, Pennsylvania. Two hundred and thirty-three
units, each with its own balcony, rest on 15 acres.
Most of the balconies are constructed of precast planks.
However, several buildings were constructed with balconies
cast into permanent corrugated metal pans. Sheet metal,
which had been wrapped around the balcony fascia, was
removed. This exposed hollow cores at the ends of the
planks; the cores were filled with expanding foam, and the
ends were patched with Conpro Set mortar.
Conproco’s Elastideck and Super Color Stain HR system
was chosen as a protective deck coating because its
flexibility would allow for some movement of the plank
balconies, and its vapor permeability would allow the
pan-deck balconies to “breathe”. Lastly, contractor Jamison
Masonry Restoration cut drip edges into the balcony soffits.
The soffits were painted with Color Coat, a 100% acrylic
coating formulated for highly alkaline substrates.
