Applying a professional water-repellent treatment alters the surface tension of the facing brick. As a result, rainwater no longer penetrates the pores of the facing, but simply beads up and rolls off. As the walls remain permanently dry as a result, the natural insulating properties of the building materials are optimally protected. This prevents cold air from entering quickly and the heat generated indoors from escaping rapidly. This immediately ensures <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-does-your-energy-bill-rise-with-a-damp-house\/\">a lower energy bill<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/news\/why-moisture-control-is-the-first-step-towards-a-higher-epc-label\/\">a better EPC rating<\/a> for your home. What\u2019s more, a dry fa\u00e7ade completely eliminates the risk of damp damage.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Another aesthetic and structural advantage is that biological growth, such as moss and algae, cannot take hold on a dry surface. This is a particular benefit for homes in wooded areas, such as the Antwerp Kempen or the Flemish Ardennes. Furthermore, the impregnation layer has a self-cleaning effect in areas subject to specific atmospheric conditions. On the Belgian coast, it protects fa\u00e7ades from the aggressive, salty sea air. In busy cities such as Ghent, too, it prevents soot, particulate matter and traffic pollution from settling into the brickwork.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_child col-lg-6 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell triple-block-padding style-color-199793-bg  unradius-std\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-157814 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Is it necessary to waterproof your fa\u00e7ade?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>In a rainy country like Belgium, where fa\u00e7ades are exposed to heavy rainfall and strong winds every year, fa\u00e7ade impregnation is, in most cases, essential to preserve the stability and value of your property. Traditional building materials such as brick, sand-lime brick and standard cement mortar are naturally porous and, without a protective coating, act like a sponge. When a fa\u00e7ade becomes completely saturated after several rain showers, the moisture penetrates deeper into the structure. This not only causes aesthetic damage such as salt efflorescence and white stains on the exterior, but also leads to peeling wallpaper, flaking paint, persistent mould growth and an unhealthy living environment indoors.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>The need is particularly acute for specific fa\u00e7ades and historic buildings. Homes whose fa\u00e7ades face the rain-exposed side \u2013 usually the west or south-west \u2013 are subjected to the heaviest driving rain and, without a water-repellent treatment, are the first to show signs of structural damage. Furthermore, in historic city centres such as Bruges, Mechelen or Leuven, we see many older buildings with authentic and highly absorbent fa\u00e7ade bricks and lime mortars. Over the centuries, these materials have lost their natural resistance. For such buildings, fa\u00e7ade impregnation is the only way to protect their historic character from the elements and modern air pollution, without hermetically sealing the wall.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row row-internal row-container\"><div class=\"row unequal row-child\"><div class=\"wpb_row row-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_child col-lg-6 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell triple-block-padding style-back_color-103859-bg  unradius-std\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-157814 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>How often should you waterproof an external wall?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>A high-quality fa\u00e7ade impregnation treatment carried out professionally by a damp specialist such as AquaConsult has an average lifespan of ten to fifteen years. This is not a universal standard, as the exact durability of the protective coating is closely linked to the porosity of the substrate, the quality of the product and the specific geographical location of the property. At AquaConsult, we use only professional, vapour-permeable impregnating agents that form a chemical bond with the mineral substrate. These molecules penetrate deep into the facing brick and are highly resistant to UV radiation and temperature fluctuations, meaning they remain effective for much longer than cheap products from DIY stores.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>The wear and tear on the water-repellent coating varies considerably from region to region due to local climates. Homes in the West Flemish coastal region and open polder areas are exposed to extreme mechanical and chemical stresses due to the combination of strong winds, sandblasting and salty sea air. As a result, the protective layer degrades more quickly and often requires inspection after just ten years. In more sheltered provinces such as Limburg or East Flanders, the impregnation continues to work effectively for up to fifteen years. We recommend having our experts carry out a simple water test after a decade to determine exactly whether the external wall is still adequately protected.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column pos-top pos-center align_left column_child col-lg-6 single-internal-gutter\"><div class=\"uncol style-light\" ><div class=\"uncoltable\"><div class=\"uncell triple-block-padding style-color-199793-bg  unradius-std\" ><div class=\"uncont\" ><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><h2 class=\"font-673431 fontsize-157814 font-weight-500 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Can I waterproof a damp wall?<\/span><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>It is technically impossible and strongly discouraged to impregnate a wet facing brick. The effectiveness of the water-repellent treatment is based on the principle that the liquid must be able to penetrate deep into the pores and capillaries of the facing brick in order to form a water-repellent barrier there. If these pores are saturated due to recent rain or underlying <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">moisture problems<\/a> If the surface is already completely saturated with water, the impregnating agent cannot penetrate it. The product will then remain on the surface, wash away at the first sign of rain, or dry out as an unsightly white film on your exterior wall.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\"  id=\"list_font_size\"><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Furthermore, treating a damp external wall too early poses structural risks to the property. By applying a waterproof coating to a wet wall, you trap the existing damp within the building envelope. As soon as the temperature drops below freezing, the trapped water expands and causes the outer layer of the facing bricks and the mortar joints to crack. To prevent this, our experts follow a strict protocol whereby they always first <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/free-expertise\/\">a free expertise<\/a> carry out. If the wall turns out to be damp due to a structural problem such as <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/rising-damp\/\">rising damp<\/a>, then they sort this out first via <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/wall-injection\/\">wall injections<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-solutions\/basement-waterproofing\/\">basement

colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>The cost of impregnating a fa\u00e7ade averages between \u20ac8 and \u20ac15 per square metre, excluding VAT and any prior cleaning or repair work. The total cost depends mainly on the total surface area, the accessibility of the external walls and the porosity of the facing brick.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>You can, however, keep costs down thanks to tax benefits. If your home is more than 10 years old, you\u2019ll benefit from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vlaanderen.be\/bouwen-wonen-en-energie\/bouwen-en-verbouwen\/btw-tarief-van-6-bij-renovatie-en-sloop-en-heropbouw-van-woningen\">a VAT rate of 6%<\/a> instead of the usual 21%. In addition, fa\u00e7ade impregnation is also eligible for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vlaanderen.be\/bouwen-wonen-en-energie\/bouwen-en-verbouwen\/premies-voor-renovatie\/mijn-verbouwpremie\">the My Renovation Premium<\/a>, provided you combine this treatment with the installation of external wall insulation.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel panel-default wpb_accordion_section group  no-block-padding\"><div class=\"panel-heading wpb_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><p class=\"panel-title font-weight- text-   icon-size-rg\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion_742004154\" href=\"#1771242015-2-1717718488993581781696276469\"><span>What are the disadvantages of impregnating a fa\u00e7ade?<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div id=\"1771242015-2-1717718488993581781696276469\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body wpb_accordion_content ui-accordion-content half-internal-gutter single-block-padding\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>The main drawback of fa\u00e7ade impregnation arises when it is carried out incorrectly or using cheap, non-breathable products. If a completely sealing acrylic or silicone product is used, moisture from inside the house can no longer evaporate outwards. This leads to internal <a href=\"https:\/\/aquaconsult.be\/en\/moisture-problems\/\">moisture problems<\/a>. AquaConsult overcomes this drawback by using only high-quality, vapour-permeable products. This keeps rainwater out, whilst still allowing the wall to breathe.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Another point to bear in mind is that the fa\u00e7ade must be in perfect condition beforehand. Any cracks or damaged pointing must therefore be repaired before you can impregnate the fa\u00e7ade.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"panel panel-default wpb_accordion_section group  no-block-padding\"><div class=\"panel-heading wpb_accordion_header ui-accordion-header\"><p class=\"panel-title font-weight- text-   icon-size-rg\"><a data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion_742004154\" href=\"#1771244101896-2-517718488993581781696276469\"><span>Can you waterproof your fa\u00e7ade yourself?<\/span><\/a><\/p><\/div><div id=\"1771244101896-2-517718488993581781696276469\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse\"><div class=\"panel-body wpb_accordion_content ui-accordion-content half-internal-gutter single-block-padding\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_custom_heading_wrap colorlinkblue\"><div class=\"heading-text el-text\" ><p class=\"font-673431 fontsize-192079 font-weight-400 text-color-103889-color\" ><span>Although various products are available in DIY shops, we recommend leaving fa\u00e7ade impregnation to an expert. For long-lasting results, the water-repellent treatment must be applied evenly to the wall using a professional low-pressure sprayer until it is fully saturated. As a DIY enthusiast, you lack the necessary equipment and experience to accurately measure the porosity and exact moisture content of the fa\u00e7ade in advance.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>What\u2019s more, if you carry out the work yourself, you\u2019ll lose the official guarantee on the work carried out and the products used.

This involves applying a liquid impregnating agent to the fa\u00e7ade from top to bottom using a professional low-pressure sprayer. For very specific, highly absorbent or extremely porous surfaces, a special impregnating cream can also be used, which is applied manually to the bricks using a roller or brush.<\/p><\/span><span><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/span><span><p>Before we treat the fa\u00e7ade, our experts carry out thorough preparatory work. The external wall is first completely cleared of moss, dust and grease, as the water-repellent treatment can only adhere properly to a clean, repaired and dry surface.<\/span><\/p><\/div><div class=\"clear\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><script id=\"script-row-unique-5\" data-row=\"script-row-unique-5\" type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"vc_controls\">UNCODE.initRow(document.getElementById(\"row-unique-5\"));<\/script><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facade impregnationA facade impregnation is the best moisture control method to combat penetrating moisture.
