Waterproofing walls and facades

Whatever the material used to build our houses and buildings, they require some form of protection from rain, wind, frost and sun - failure to do so can cause your building's walls and facades to deteriorate and shorten the life of the structure. Since our homes are the biggest single investment that many of us will make, it makes sense to do the best that we can to look after them. By preventing water penetration into walls and facades using AQ Repel, ProtectGuard, or DO-IT-ALL we can: Stop damp penetrating through the walls – Damp walls within the living and work spaces can lead to illness and make the rooms uninhabitable. Reduce damage from frost – The presence of water in the bricks and stone when the temperature falls below freezing can lead to delamination and crumbling on the surface. Improve thermal efficiency – By preventing water penetration and allowing the walls to breathe the insulating qualities of the walls will improve. Reduce the growth of moss and algae - the lack of water in the walls will discourage further growth of mosses and algae. Natural Stone and Brick Walls Waterproofing of natural stone and brick walls can be achieved by using AQ Repel which helps prevent water impregnation and allows existing water within the walls to escape by permeation, resulting a dry walls. AQ Repel is water based, long lasting, and is suitable for both solid and cavity walled buildings.

Graffiti Protection

In addition to preventing water penetration into the wall or facade, ProtectGuard will also give excellent protection against graffiti.

Graffiti on a ProtectGuard protected wall

Jetting graffiti off a ProtectGuard protected wall

As an anti-graffiti treatment, ProtectGuard does not alter the appearance of the wall or facade.

Graffiti can be removed from a wall which has had ProtectGuard applied with the aid of special graffiti removal compounds and high pressure hot water .

Masonry Paints and Coatings

Masonry Paints and Coatings are not only an excellent way to enhance the appearance of your house or building, they can also protect the building from water penetration.

Concrete structures

Cottage facade

A high performance coating such as Murfill Waterproofing Coating is easily applied by brush, roller or spray, which, when cured is elastic with the ability to bridge cracks. Suitable for most types of masonry surfaces, Murfill Waterproofing Coating is especially suitable as an anti-carbonation coating for the long-term protection of concrete structures.
