In 2016, I added a new balcony to my house. The supplier/installer recommended installing the floor using Balkoplan from the company Mehlhose on the steel framework, which I agreed to. It is a type of wood fiber-concrete composite, and honestly, it’s quite a disappointment. I found a post about this here
https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/balkoplan-balkonboden-funktioniert-nicht.25238/
I am experiencing exactly the same problems. The floor is now hardly presentable, and countless small particles (looking like surface debris) are coming loose, scattering around in the garden, inside the house, and so on.
I wanted to ask if anyone else has had similar experiences and if anyone can say whether it is possible to tile over this floor.
Best regards, Sven

@Sven1301:
I assume that the field representative who announced their visit following your notice will interpret the aspect of "cleaning with a pressure washer" according to their own company's perspective.
If that is the case, a possible “cosmetic improvement” solution could be to sand the surfaces, prepare them with a scratch filler based on synthetic resin depending on the size of the depressions, and then reseal them with a pigmented or flake-inserted UV-resistant polyurethane coating.
This approach would certainly work and should last for several years.
However, I would advise against using a “KÄRCHER” (pressure washer) cleaning in the near future and instead recommend a thorough cleaning with a scrub brush and cleaning cloth.
The scrub brush should have soft bristles, and the basic cleaner (additive for the cleaning solution) should be alkaline.
