Any mineral surfaces deteriorate over time under the influence of moisture, frost, ultraviolet light and mechanical stress. That is why facades, natural stone, concrete paths, industrial floors and terraces need additional protection.
However, no single material can solve all problems equally effectively. Some coatings repel water, others withstand intense abrasion, and still others remain elastic and seal seams and microcracks.
Let's look at three popular solutions for protecting walls and floors and determine when each one works best.
Teknosil water repellent is the best choice for protecting facades
When it comes to building facades, facing bricks, natural stone or decorative elements, Teknosil is most often chosen .
This is a deep-penetrating water repellent that impregnates the material, reducing its water absorption, but does not create a film. The base remains vapor-permeable, i.e. continues to "breathe".
That is why Teknosil is widely used to protect facades, where it is important not only to protect the surface from precipitation, but also not to disrupt the natural moisture exchange of the structure.
Main advantages:
Best suited for:
If the main task is long-term protection of the facade without changing its appearance, Teknosil is the optimal solution.
Acrylic varnish Teknocila 300 - when you need floor protection and high wear resistance
For concrete floors, production facilities, warehouses, garages, workshops and other surfaces that are subjected to daily mechanical stress, Teknocila 300 acrylic varnish is more often used .
Unlike a water repellent, varnish creates a durable transparent protective coating that significantly increases the surface's resistance to abrasion, dust, dirt, and moisture.
In addition, the varnish perfectly emphasizes the texture of natural stone and creates the popular "wet stone" effect.
Main advantages:
Best suited for:
If the surface is constantly exposed to mechanical stress, Teknocila 300 provides the best balance between decorativeness and durability.
Transparent polyurethane waterproofing Teknobond 660 - when coating elasticity and joint sealing are important
There are situations where a conventional water-repellent impregnation or varnish is not enough. For example, on terraces, balconies, open stairs or cladding where there are temperature deformations, structural movement or a large number of seams.
In such cases, the optimal solution is Teknobond 660 - transparent polyurethane waterproofing.
After application, it forms an elastic seamless membrane that not only protects the surface from water, but also covers microcracks and seals seams, compensating for small deformations of the base.
Main advantages:
Best suited for:
If the main criteria are the elasticity of the coating, sealing of joints and maximum protection against water penetration, the best choice will be Teknobond 660 .
What material to choose?
✔ For facades, brick, natural stone and surfaces that need to "breathe" - choose Teknosil solvent-based water repellent .
✔ For concrete floors, industrial premises, garages, walkways and surfaces with high mechanical load, Teknocila 300 acrylic varnish is best suited .
✔ For terraces, balconies, stone with seams and structures where elasticity and tightness are important - the optimal solution will be transparent polyurethane waterproofing Teknobond 660 .
All three materials protect the surface from the negative effects of the environment, but each of them is designed for its own task.
Teknosil - when you need long-lasting facade protection without changing its appearance.
Teknocila 300 - when abrasion resistance, durability and protection of concrete or stone floors are of primary importance.
Teknobond 660 - when the surface must remain elastic, airtight and reliably protected from water penetration even in the most difficult operating conditions.
It is the right choice of material that allows you to get the maximum service life of the structure and avoid expensive repairs in the future.
