Water repellents and Elastomeric coatings have as their foremost purpose; the repelling of water from the surface it is applied to and deflecting water away from the building wall or component. Coatings such as Dow-Cornings ALL GUARD, THOROCOAT Systems, PennKote, Sternson, Chemtrete and many others who are well known to BDA Inc. - as we are approved applicators by the manufacturers themselves.

 

Repellents are generally "clear" and thus are not visible when applied.  The benefit of these are to prevent water from entering through the masonry or concrete surfaces - thus preventing deterioration.

 

Elastomeric coatings can be used as an effective and relatively inexpensive option to metal or other type of cladding systems.  The benefit is preventing water entry but ALSO the look of improvement to the exterior walls. There are 1,000's of colours available.
