keeps facades dry and clean
Is your building not energy efficient in wintertime? A smart solution is to keep the facades dry. FACADE5+protect makes your walls and roof hydrophobic. As a result, the rain will no longer penetrate. This hydrofuge prevents re-fouling, algae, mould and moss infestation and wall efflorescence. The rain barrier formed by FACADE5+protect remains active for years while maintaining the building's breathability. When facades are impregnated with FACADE5+protect, the building will be dry and mould-free!
FACADE5+protect makes any brick, clay, concrete, plaster, grout and natural and artificial stone hydrophobic and dirt-repellent.
Your building will continue to breathe, but rain and dirt will be repelled for years.
A dry building is a healthy building.
An ideal way to insulate your building is a dry façade, which reduces heating costs.
A dirty surface must be cleaned beforehand with s00p RWC.
FACADE5+protect can be used perfectly for the preservation of historical monuments. Water will not penetrate the stone, so it cannot crack in freezing winter weather.
FACADE5+protect is based on polysiloxane, often called silicone. This ready-to-use solution will achieve a high penetration depth when impregnating absorbent materials such as brick, concrete, plaster, asbestos cement, grout and natural and artificial stone. Polysiloxane is alkali-resistant and, therefore, suitable as the best protection for all these materials.
How to install
The effect: FACADE5+protect is first absorbed by the capillaries and pores of your walls and roofs. Like rainwater, it penetrates a few millimetres into the stone. The pores and capillaries are thus infused with a thin, water-repellent protective layer. Only the outer layers of the pores and capillaries are covered, preserving the water vapour permeability of the stone. This prevents mould in your home.
Usage: 1 litre is good for a maximum of 10 m². With one 5-litre pouch bag, you can protect 15 to 50 m² for the years to come. (160-540 sqft). The usage depends on the absorbency of the surface.
