Protecting lintels at a housing association in The Hague
Untreated lintels, the horizontal load-bearing structures above windows and doors, can be exposed to moisture, frost and other weathering. It is important to protect them properly to prevent damage and extend their service life. They are also susceptible to unsightly green growth and dirt adhesion. This detracts from the appearance of a building. For this reason, Sylmarc in The Hague advised a local housing association to prepare the lintels thoroughly and treat them with water-repellent products from Inducoat Ecological. This makes it possible to guarantee a long service life and preservation of their appearance. Sylmarc recommended products specifically designed for outdoor use that meet environmentally friendly sustainability standards: ConcreteProtect in this case.
