Water-repellent and surface protection: effective solutions for every material
THEhumidity in the house it is not a problem that only concerns ancient buildings or those with little exposure to the sun: even in the most futuristic home, the bathroom and kitchen are environments subject to the appearance of mold and damp stains, which can form due to vapors and condensation. A problem that concerns primarily the healthy air, but which in the presence of fine and porous materials such as marble and terracotta also involves the beauty and functionality of surfaces and furnishings.
Then there is the big question of terraces, balconies and external flooring: even the best exposed ones, in fact, will suffer the effects of bad weather and will be subject to natural degradation, which over time could alter the appearance of the materials and lead to the formation of dangerous mold and unsightly marks.
Protection of surfaces from humidity: an issue that concerns everyone
Airing rooms often and installing fans and dehumidifiers is not always enough protect a house from moisture. Especially when it comes to rooms like the bathroom , kitchen, the effects of condensation could be seen even within a few months, in the form of stains, marks and mould.
Porous materials such as marble, terracotta and stone they tend to absorb moisture: when designing the most lived-in areas of the house, therefore, you must take into account the surface protection more delicate not only from wear, but also from the potential effects of excessive humidity.
Il humidity rate Partner inside a home it can vary between 40 and 60%: a humidity of 50% (with a temperature of 20°C) is generally considered optimal, with the necessary differences between one environment and another. When the humidity rate exceeds the threshold of 60-70%, an extremely favorable environment is created for the formation of mold, pollen and allergens, a phenomenon that is inevitably accompanied by blackened joints, appearance of stains and deterioration of materials.
Even when there are no obvious problems with therising humidity or with infiltration, protecting surfaces from humidity is essential to guarantee the healthiness of the air in the home. This is why there are gods water-repellent treatments which prevent water from penetrating the microporosities of floors and surfaces, avoiding the formation of stains and the migration of salts.
Water-repellent treatment for internal surfaces: the most effective solutions
When you are looking for an effective solution to combat humidity in your home, there are only two certain answers: thethermal insulation andwaterproofing of surfaces.
If what you are looking for is an advanced protection system that can be applied independently, the solution can only fall on non-toxic products sea to your sales point that are easy to use and guarantee an effective effect long duration, avoiding repeating the treatment every year.
Byosil by New Chemical is a water repellent that can be used on all high porosity mineral building materials, such as stone and terracotta, both inside the house and on the external walls. Thanks to its silane-based formulation, it avoids salt migration and has a high degree of permeability to water vapour, a characteristic that makes it effective even in protecting the most difficult surfaces exposed to humidity.
It is a product that it does not emit substances harmful neither during nor after application and which develops its effects within a few hours: an ideal ally for those who need a practical solution and long-lasting for the water-repellent treatment of walls, recommended especially in the most humid and lived-in rooms of the house.
How to protect balconies and terraces (not just from humidity)
If the surfaces to be protected are terracotta floors, marble coverings or the large surfaces of balconies and terraces, the only truly effective solution is waterproofing. Especially in environments with flat surfaces, which can drain the water in a non-optimal manner, the water-repellent treatment of floors is highly recommended to avoid the formation of stagnation and infiltration, which may end up involving other properties as well.
La protection of external surfaces it is fundamental not only in terms of humidity, but also in terms of effects of bad weather and deterioration of materials: even a covered terrace needs to be protected, since it is still exposed to the freeze/thaw cycles and the action of UV rays and air pollution.
Impretex MK-65 by New Chemical protects surfaces from agents of degradation and gives the materials exceptional waterproofing qualities, without creating annoying surface films.
Ideal for surfaces and tiled floors, marble, natural stone, concrete and porcelain stoneware, it can be passed with a brush, a fleece or a cotton cloth, and also allows you to eliminate water infiltration already in place without having to resort to removing tiles. A practical solution for surface protection and a brilliant remedy in case of emergency.
