It
is commonly heard that the best way to protect a concrete or stone surface is
to use waterproof coatings. In fact, this is the common advice given to
homeowners looking to install or repair their homes. This kind of coating is
used on many surfaces for several different reasons. Some use it for
aesthetics, some use it for protection and some use it as an added layer of
security. However, one thing must be understood upfront - Waterproof coatings
are a protective, and hence, protective, method of keeping a house or building
free from water damage. One can use them to stop mold, mildew, and stains
caused by water damage but what people often overlook is the fact that a
water-resistant coating actually has its own advantages.
Although
they are commonly used as a means of prevention, there are a few advantages to waterproof
coatings. For one, they help in containing the growth of mold, mildew,
and bacteria. As a result, any mold, mildew, or bacteria inside a building will
be kept under control. This would mean less risk to health and therefore better
living standards. Another advantage of water-resistant coatings is that they
help prevent damage caused by leaking pipes, broken pipes, and other water
damages that could be caused by water.
There
are different ways in which waterproof coatings can be applied. The most common
is done with a 'water-resistant paint' applied over a given area. This is
normally done on doors and windows to ensure that the interior part of the
structure is protected from water spills. However, the paint can be used on
other parts of the house such as the garage. A wide variety of cleaners and
sprays are available to help people clean the interiors of a building that is covered
with water resistant paint. This is an important advantage of the material
because the water-resistant paint does not easily get affected by various
liquids and other solvents.
