Damp walls and salt efflorescence

Damp walls and salt efflorescence

Description

System for outside FACADES that helps protect and preserve the walls.

Unfortunately, we forget that oftentimes the humidity that appears after long rainy periods inside buildings is due to a complex process caused by a set of factors such as capillary damage to paint and plaster.

When an outside face is affected by this, water gets inside the curtain walls and starts freezing. As it expands, it continues to demolish the face, and as the temperature rises, as it evaporates, on the outside it attracts salt and bloom (typical of rising damp issues).

Use

When noticing this, usually you choose materials to protect the wall from rain, but the waterproof action is not enough. The chosen product must have some other characteristics: not just sealing or preventing the formation of mold and lichens, but it must offer a solution to micro-cracks and holes that can arise due to drying cycles.

MAIN ADVANTAGES

Damp-proofs the façade

Evens out heat bridges

Maintains the wall’s breathability

Lowers heat loss

Eliminates microscopic fissures and hairline cracks

Protects against mold and lichen

Fast and easy to install
