Why protect porous exterior building materials?
Moisture, soluble salts, ultra violet, mildew and freeze-thaw cause widespread damage in porous material surfaces like wood, concrete, masonry work, bricks, stucco, stones etc. Damage can be in form of cracking, warping, swelling, chalking, efflorescence, bio growth, stains etc. When exposed surfaces are left unprotected, they can result in expensive repairs and/or replacement. Some of the applications are: decks, patios, driveways, walkways, sidings, paving stones etc.
