FAKOLITH has developed a basic range of special paints and products, which comply with the maximum necessary requirements, in the rehabilitation of facades and buildings, and in the protection of new surfaces. A wide range of products for their application in indoors walls and ceilings, in facades, for the waterproofing of roofs, and the protection of pavements, including special cleaners and stripping agents, multipurpose additives and protecting treatments, special plasters and mortars, hydrophobing agents, dispersions paints, silicate paints and lasures, hybrid paints, oxide pigments...
There are many facades and buildings constructed with mineral materials, with or without old paintings on the surface. They can be made of natural or artificial stone, plaster mortars, concrete, facing bricks, combinations of the above, etc. The most common problems are: degraded paints or remains of degraded paints, with adhesion deficiencies and lack of transpiration, hygroscopic salts (saltpete...
Most of the paints used in exteriors, especially those of organic composition, suffer from the devastating effects of water, sun, wind, etc., in an accelerated manner. Especially in facades, silicate paints offer a great resistance to weathering, which makes them the most appropriate for their best and prolonged protection. All silicate or silicate paints are not the same: To identify a high quali...
Sometimes, in restoration in general, it is not possible to use silicate paints, because the facades are already painted with non-mineral paints. In other cases, although the facades are not painted, it is not convenient to use neither silicate paints, nor conventional paints for facades, for different reasons; from aesthetic, economic, pathologies, incompatibility with the mineral supports, etc. ...
It happens very often that the aesthetic or coloring finishes of concrete and its precast elements are not uniform or homogeneous. In addition, it has been proven that mass pigmentation also leads to unevenness and inhomogeneous finishes. On the other hand, leaving a mineral base, in this case concrete, exposed to the elements without adequate protection is not very advisable. Rain, sun, thermal c...
Graffiti or unauthorized graffiti is a type of urban vandalism that is very often found on the lower parts of our buildings. The rapid evolution of the chemical industry and more specifically of the wide variety of sprays, markers, inks and pigments, together with the different surfaces, textures and absorption values of these, make necessary a range of cleaners capable of dealing with such a dive...
During the last decades, many m² of printed concrete pavements have been built all over our geography, with a wide variety of textures and finishes, both in private homes, hotels, camping sites, squares and public roads. We have all read advertisements of printed pavements in which it was said... It is a pavement for ever! Without any type of maintenance! Resistant colors for life! Impo...
