How to prevent moisture in the walls of a building

When the walls of a building are not protected, due to a lack of insulation of the walls, it is possible for moisture to penetrate in the pores of the building materials.

This leads to moisture problems and ultimately the formation of harmful micro-organisms indoors that are not good for your health. That's why we're going to look at ways to limit or prevent the ingress of moisture into the walls of buildings.

Moisture penetrates into the walls of the building through the outside, after which it spreads to the inner walls of the building. When moisture reaches the inner walls there will be moisture build up and mold growth. Also when the inner wall is wet, the paint will come off and you can peel of the paint.

Also the humidity levels will increase. For this reason, it is highly recommended to protect the facade of the building.First of all, it is good to check whether the joints of the facade are still intact.

If this is not the case, the joints must first be repaired before controlling moisture. After the joints have been repaired, the facade must be protected against the ingress of moisture.

This can be achieved with an impregnating agent; Logic Ex. Of course there are many impregnating agents on the market. I will therefore explain the question of why the Logic Ex impregnation method should be used.

Impregnation methods on the market for protecting building facade against moisture

Many impregnation methods are available on the market. These impregnation methods are often applied to the facade of the building by means of a spray or a roller.

However, the downside of this is that the facade is 'packaged'. This means that the current moisture that was already in the wall, is retained in the wall because it has nowhere to go.

As a result, the facade of the building cannot breathe and eventually moisture is still present in the facade, which will subsequently spread to the inner walls of the building.

The moisture problem is therefore not solved, but postponed

Another downside of the current impregnation methods on the market is the fact that these products do not penetrate deeply enough into the pores of the facade, so that a layer is created on the facade instead of in the pores themselves. This is important in connection with the life of the impregnation. Because the impregnating agent does not penetrate deeply enough into the pores, the product will not last long.

Logic Ex impregnation method for protecting building facade against moisture

The Logic Ex impregnation method is composed by a technology that is a thousand times smaller than NANO. This means that Logic Ex penetrates (thousand times) deeper into the pores of the facade and then settles in the pores.

This guarantees the lifespan of the product and its operation by 20 years.

In addition, Logic Ex is composed of a polymer and paraffin and therefore consists of natural components. When these components are nestled in the pores of the facade and come into contact with the current moisture in the facade, Logic Ex 'pushes' the moisture out of the pores of the facade.

The effect of this is that the current moisture in the facade evaporates and makes way for the Logic Ex product, which has a water-repellent but air-permeable effect.

The facade is allowed to breathe and allows air circulation to progress and water to be repelled. This effect is important so that the current moisture in the facade is removed, after which the Logic Ex impregnation method makes room for a water-repellent layer in the facade.

In addition, it is good to know that Logic Ex is invisible to the eye after it has dried. This all has to do with the fact that Logic Ex forms a layer in the facade and not on the facade, as is the case with current impregnation methods on the market.

The external character of your facade and building is thus preserved with Logic Ex while you prevent the ingress of moisture and at the same time insulate the building! This not only prevents the ingress of moisture, but also saves you energy costs.
