The Importance of Waterproofing and Water Repellents
Water repellents are perhaps the most underused, yet cost-effective part of any new masonry construction project. Few people would ever leave the back-deck on their home untreated, yet building owners often fail to apply water-repellents systems to their masonry. When you weatherproof masonry surfaces, a long-lasting barrier is formed which keeps your masonry protected from the elements.
Water-repellents not only can keep the color and beauty of masonry locked in, but it keeps it protected from the harmful effects of freeze-thaw damage, acid rain, or dirt and other air pollutants. Water-repellants also protect against efflorescence, mildew, and algae growth. Making the decision to include long-wearing weather repellents on your new construction checklist, allows you the peace of mind in knowing you’ve made every possible attempt at keeping your structure safe and capitalizing your return on investment.
