Sealing against moisture in cracks and breaks in masonry
Sealing against moisture in cracks and breaks in masonry is a crucial step in protecting buildings and structures. There are various areas where sealing is necessary, both inside and out, to prevent water damage and extend the lifespan of the building fabric.
Interior sealing is particularly important when it comes to preventing moisture from penetrating from the foundation or walls. Here, it is recommended to use special coatings that not only seal but are also able to adhere to damp surfaces. Low-viscosity products offer excellent gap bridging and bond easily to various materials such as concrete, wood, and ceramic.
Exterior sealing, on the other hand, is used in areas where water can penetrate, such as wall connections, chimney connections, and external vents. Here, the UV and weather resistance of the materials used is essential. Furthermore, seals around roof windows, skylights, and eaves must be carefully installed to prevent water accumulation.
Application in Special Areas
Special attention should be paid to pipework. Seals here not only provide protection, but must also withstand specific chemical influences. Special solutions are required for open areas in timber constructions, as conventional sealants are often unsuitable.
It is also important to note that the sealing systems are easy to apply and cure optimally at temperatures between +5 °C and +40 °C. Generally, only two coats are necessary to ensure a complete and reliable seal.
Modern sealing products offer several advantages:
- Excellent workability: They are easy to apply and adhere reliably to many substrates.
- Short curing times: This allows for quick completion of the work.
- No residual tackiness: After curing, the surface remains clean and hygienic.
- Resistance to chemical influences: This increases the lifespan of the sealant.
Adhesion to old and damp surfaces:
This makes these products particularly versatile.
