Why impregnating facades is important
Moisture problems in exterior facades are one of the most common challenges in new construction projects. When rainwater penetrates the masonry, it can lead to algae and mold growth, which not only damages the building's appearance but also impacts its long-term structural quality. Clients expect durable solutions for new construction that will last for years. If damp patches or green deposits become visible within a few years, this negatively impacts their confidence in the builder. Moreover, maintenance costs quickly rise because facades require repeated cleaning or treatment. For construction companies that prioritize sustainability and customer satisfaction, facade impregnation is therefore not an afterthought, but an essential component of quality assurance.
The limits of traditional impregnation agents
Many construction companies try to combat moisture problems with traditional impregnating agents. While these products can be effective in the short term, they often fail to offer the desired longevity. The protective layer wears away more quickly, requiring facades to be reapplied within a few years. Moreover, standard impregnating agents can harm the facade's appearance. Think of shiny spots, uneven discoloration, or an artificial look. For customers who consciously choose a natural, sustainable look for their home or building, this is anything but appealing. Repeatedly applying these agents leads to higher costs and frustration. This underscores the limitations of traditional impregnation methods and the need for innovative solutions to truly protect facades long-term.
Chemona Steen Coat as an innovative solution
Chemona developed Steen Coat, a nano-coating that addresses the shortcomings of traditional impregnating agents. This advanced coating penetrates deep into the pores of the masonry, forming a durable, water-repellent barrier. This prevents rainwater from penetrating, significantly reducing moisture problems. The unique feature of Steen Coat is that it fully preserves the natural appearance. The coating is transparent, so the color, texture, and character of the stone remain unchanged. For construction companies, this means optimal protection of their facades without compromising aesthetics. For clients, this gives them the assurance that their building will continue to look attractive and well-maintained for years to come.
Additional benefits of impregnating facades with Steen Coat
The benefits of Steen Coat go beyond just moisture protection. Because the coating repels dirt and algae, it's much harder for dirt and green deposits to adhere to the facade. This keeps buildings cleaner and easier to maintain for longer. Instead of periodic, costly facade cleaning, rinsing with water is often sufficient to preserve the original appearance. Furthermore, Steen Coat is easy to use. The coating can be applied with a brush, roller, or spray and requires no specialized equipment. For construction companies, this means Steen Coat can be easily integrated into existing work processes, even on large-scale projects. The effect is visible immediately after application: rainwater beads off the facade, giving both builders and their clients immediate confidence.
Practical application and efficiency
A major advantage of Chemona Steen Coat is its practicality. The product can be applied quickly and without complicated preparation. This makes it ideal for construction companies that want to work efficiently without compromising on quality. Because Steen Coat is suitable for various types of facades – from brick to natural stone – the coating has a wide range of applications. Whether it's a residential complex, an office building, or a private housing project, the results are consistent. Moreover, its application aligns with modern construction processes, where sustainability and low-maintenance construction are paramount. For customers, this means they are assured of a high-quality finish that is immediately noticeable and visible. This creates a win-win situation for both the construction company and the end user.
Results that convince in the long term
The practical results of Chemona Steen Coat demonstrate that facades remain protected for the long term. Treated buildings remained free of damp patches, algae, or mold growth even after more than ten years. Even in regions with heavy rainfall, facades remained clean and intact. For clients, this not only meant that their buildings looked attractive but also that their maintenance costs were drastically reduced. Intensive cleanings or expensive repairs were no longer necessary. For construction companies, this resulted in enormous added value in customer satisfaction. Moreover, it strengthened their reputation as sustainable builders offering innovative solutions. The success of Steen Coat proves that impregnating facades with the right technology is an investment that pays for itself for years to come.
Sustainability and environmental friendliness
Steen Coat distinguishes itself not only through its effectiveness but also through its sustainability. The product is environmentally friendly and contributes to a green image for construction companies that work with Chemona. Because the coating is long-lasting, fewer treatments are required, thus reducing its environmental impact. The product also meets the growing demand for sustainable construction solutions, both from clients and from contracting authorities in the public and private sectors. For construction companies, this can be decisive in winning projects where sustainability is a priority. Impregnating facades thus becomes not only a technical necessity but also a strategic choice for future-proof and responsible construction.
