Follow on Google News | Waterproofing Coating Systems for Commercial & Industrial BuildingsBy: Alpine Painting When a surface begins to crack over time, water and other liquids can seep into these crevices and damage the structure. To remedy this, the cracks need to be filled with a coating that will seal the surface tightly, disallowing water to seep in underneath. Large exterior waterproofers with experience in the business often turn to elastomeric coatings to get the job done the right way. If conventional paints are used to fill the cracks, they run the risk of cracking themselves. Regular house paints do are not flexible enough to resist cracking as the surface contracts or expands, especially when exposed to harsh weather conditions. Elastomeric coatings, on the other hand, have superior elasticity and elongation properties that make them ideal for the job. When the surface changes, whether it is due to temperature or movement, the elastomeric coatings are flexible enough to expand or contract with the surface rather than simply given in and crack. An experienced contractor will know the proper ways to apply this type of coating. If the coating is not applied thick enough, if it is thinned or applied by a contractor with little experience, the product may not perform at its best. Other waterproofing paint products are also available. Ultra Ever Dry is a coating that will repel water, oil, ice and a number of other liquid materials from a surface. A superhydrophobic coating, Ultra Ever Dry works by establishing an air barrier on the surface it is applied to. Coatings like these are useful for a large number of applications, including expansion joint caulking to seal surfaces. Applying waterproof coatings and systems is a job best left to experienced professionals, to ensure the products are being used to their full potential.
