Facade Protection Solutions

Protect and preserve building exteriors with breathable silicone coatings designed to enhance durability, manage moisture, and maintain appearance across a range of architectural surfaces.
Quick links

Building facades are constantly exposed to moisture, UV radiation, pollution, temperature changes, and weathering that can lead to staining, deterioration, and premature aging.

These silicone facade protection solutions create breathable, durable barriers that help protect exterior surfaces while allowing trapped moisture vapour to escape. Designed for concrete, masonry, brick, stucco, EIFS, natural stone, and other porous substrates, these coatings help preserve building appearance, reduce maintenance requirements, and extend the performance of architectural surfaces.

Perform Across a Wide Range of Substrates

Designed for compatibility with common building materials including concrete, brick, masonry, natural stone, stucco, EIFS, and precast panels, silicone coatings provide durable protection across diverse facade systems.

Simplify Application and Reduce Maintenance

Flexible application methods including spray, brush, and roller help support efficient installation across different project conditions. Long-lasting protection helps reduce ongoing maintenance requirements and preserve building performance.

Protect Against Moisture and Weathering

Breathable silicone coatings help reduce water absorption while allowing moisture vapour to escape, helping protect exterior surfaces from staining, deterioration, freeze-thaw damage, and weather-related degradation.

Preserve Architectural Appearance

Silicone coatings help protect surfaces against UV exposure, pollution, and environmental weathering. Options ranging from invisible protection to enhanced-performance finishes help maintain the intended appearance of architectural materials.

FAQs

What is facade protection?

Facade protection involves applying coatings and protective systems to exterior building surfaces to help reduce moisture absorption, weathering, staining, and deterioration while preserving appearance.

Why are breathable coatings important for facades?

Breathable coatings allow trapped moisture vapour to escape while helping prevent external water penetration. This helps reduce risks associated with moisture buildup behind non-breathable coatings.

What surfaces can silicone facade coatings protect?

Silicone facade coatings can be used on many porous building materials, including concrete, brick, masonry, natural stone, stucco, EIFS, and precast panels.

Can facade coatings change the appearance of a building?

Yes. Silicone coatings are available in options ranging from invisible protection that maintains the original appearance of a surface to enhanced-performance coatings that provide additional aesthetic or protective benefits.

How do facade coatings help reduce maintenance?

By protecting surfaces from moisture, UV exposure, and environmental weathering, silicone coatings can help slow deterioration and reduce the frequency of cleaning, repairs, and recoating.

Are facade protection solutions suitable for restoration projects?

Yes. Silicone facade coatings are commonly used in restoration projects to protect existing materials, improve durability, and extend the service life of aging buildings.
