What is Pro-Clear coating?
Pro-Clear is a transparent, colourless coating that protects vunerable surfaces against the destructive effects of air polution, chlorides, mould, algae and adverse weather conditions. Pro-Clear is not a waterproof barrier, it actually breathes, and is both waterproof and microporous, allowing water vapour to pass through the properties exterior wall without letting water penetrate.
Pro-Clear coating has also been developed to accommodate the expansion and contraction of surfaces caused by servere weathering, ensuring your property is constantly protected.
What can Pro-Clear be used for?
Pro-Clear coating has been created to be used on an unpainted surface such as brick, stone, masonry, stucco, pebbledash, tyrolean or spar dash where the appearance of the wall does not need to be altered but requires protection against erosion and water ingress is still needed.
How does Pro-Clear work?
When we apply Pro-Clear to your property, it becomes part of the surface. A transparent barrier is formed in the capillary channels (the small microscopic holes within your walls that allow moisture to pass into the house), meaning that essentially all these tiny holes are plugged with a water repelling substance deep within the wall. This eliminates all damp penetrating the wall and after the Pro-Clear coating has been applied, rainwater is repelled from the surface and runs off.
What are the benefits of applying Pro-Clear to my property?
- Prevents penetration damp.
- Still enables the wall to breath.
- Penetrates deep into substrates.
- Does not affect surface appearance.
- Insulates your home from the cold.
- Stops erosion of the wall from extreme weathering.
- Resists both water and chloride.
- Prevents freeze thaw cracking in the wall as water cannot penetrate.
- Lowers maintenance costs.
- Improves the appearance of the wall.
- Available for surfaces from the front of a small terraced property to the entirety of a large country mansion.
What is the process of applying Pro-Clear to my property?
- Inspection
Prior to starting any work, we take time to inspect the outside walls of you property, thus enabling problem areas to be identified.
- Cleaning
Any areas that a coating will be applied to are power washed at high pressure. This clean removes years of accumulated dirt, soot, mould, mildew, stains and any other foreign substrates. This process also highlights any areas that may need repair work.
- Treatment
Any areas of moss or algae that are found, are treated with fungicidal agents, killing spores and roots, prevent re-occurrence.
- Repair
All areas of damage identified during our inspection are repaired, such as cracks and damaged or loose render.
- Masking
Doors, windows, drainpipes, gutters, external decorative fittings and any area that the coating are not to be applied to, are covered with heavy-duty masking paper and tape to prevent over spray.
- Application
Pro-Clear is then applied using our professional spray equipment to the areas being treated. One or two coats are applied as required, to give a waterproof and invisible barrier.
- Cleaning Up
We carefully remove all masking and thouroughly clean up the site, leaving your property.
- Inspection
After the work is completed, you will be asked to accompany our crew foreman around your transformed property for a final inspection.
