External Wall is an important element of the building structure, like a house or office we live and work in . We all take pride in the house/office we live and work in and prefer the west facing façade , for the breeze and evening sunshine. The rain too comes from the south west side in the Mumbai metropolitan region. This external façade surface has the maximum impact of sun and rain and hence the interior spaces have to bear the brunt of leakages.
External Wall Waterproofing is the key to keep our Exterior walls free from damage and enjoy a cozy interior. This is in contrast to smiling and shinning building façade as there are deep cracks and damage to the surface resulting in de-bonding of plaster in many cases.
We need to involve a who can assess the condition of the building and identify the causes of the condition.(https://leakproof.in/cracks-in-external-facade-plaster/)
In case of the west façade we need to address issues of heat, water as well as the rapid ageing that this façade undergoes. The process should involve thorough cleaning of the façade , identification of minor and major cracks, checking of façade plaster for any kind of de-bonding which may need re-plastering carefully fusing the old with the new and finally coating the surface with Sika Cool coat which is an acrylic based fiber reinforced heat reflective coating . This protects against the harsh weather situation and also plays a major role in protecting our internal surfaces.
