 vertical and horizontal surfaces can be treated and protected with these products.
Often brick and concrete surfaces are subject to white, powdery efflorescence stains. These stains are caused by water penetrating the porous surface and then leaching out soluble salts in the mortar.
To address efflorescence, we use the least invasive method possible. Often simply scrubbing or wire-brushing the area works, but power-washing, abrasive blasting or chemical cleaning (for example, using muriatic or oxalic acid) is required. We can also treat other stains and marks with appropriate cleaners at this time.
A good review of the grout is essential to providing a well-sealed surface. One project in Vancouver required brick re-pointing (repair of the grout) and renewal of caulking at each floor (cold joints) before the application of a clear sealer to the wall surface.
Often the efflorescence will return unless the cause of the moisture moving through the surface is addressed. Many unpainted surfaces can be sealed with a penetrating water repellent, to limit water intrusion and minimize future efflorescence.
Another option for brick is re-coloring the surface. Older heritage buildings may have faded and stained, have repaired areas that stand out, or you just may want to change the color of the brick.
Solid color penetrating treatments, including those by Nawkaw Corporation, can change the color of masonry without recurring maintenance concerns. The results are as permanent as the masonry, and Remdal can prepare and complete the work for you as approved installers of this product.
Standing proudly at the corner of Seymour and Davie, these two contemporary towers totaling 420 strata units went through an extensive building envelope remediation as per engineer’s specifications. New elastomeric coating with urethane sealant on control joints added protection to the entire structure and provided peace of mind for owners.
Scope of Work:
The “original” high-rise complex in Newport Village stands 20-storeys high. It was given new life in 2018 by restoring the building’s exterior with new paint and sealant. With the work completed, this suburban skyscraper reclaimed its status as an eye-catching landmark in Port Moody.
Scope of Work:
This early 1980s mid-rise located in the Arbutus-Ridge neighbourhood presented many exterior challenges, from its paint, to sealants, and right up to the roof. Thanks to a complete exterior remediation project, the owners of this 12-story building can now fully enjoy its amenities and also rest assured that their property values are protected.
Scope of Work:
This luxurious condominium complex offers elegance in peaceful and natural surroundings. In 2017, it received a building exterior facelift. It was repainted in its original colours along with targeted repairs to the building envelope. This project prolonged its lifespan and allowed residents to enjoy not only the magnificent view, but also a healthier living space.
