Water is the enemy of structures, especially commercial buildings. The waterproofing of a building can be the difference between a huge maintenance bill and a small one. When water makes its way through the outer layer of a commercial structure, it can split concrete, rust steel, leave stains, and destroy finishes.

Your average house paint isn’t going to work for most commercial applications.

Your concrete is under siege.

Every second, every minute, every day, your concrete is battling forces that want to tear it down. Chemicals, traffic, and the elements all work together against your structure. 

You’ve probably painted something around the house before. It might have been a wall, a ceiling, a cabinet, or a deck—something that needed aesthetic appeal or some protection from the elements.

Concrete is one of the most common building materials on earth. It’s used in everything from high-rises to patios. And just about every commercial building is made of it. But why concrete, and not something else?

Every commercial building has an enemy: water.
