Impregnation

Unsightly dirt on exposed concrete surfaces is caused by soot, weather influences as well as algae and moss. Our impregnation is an invisible surface protection system and protects against these contaminants. It creates a very good beading effect against water and other liquids. The treated surface stays clean longer and is easier to clean. In addition, the protected surfaces do not show unsightly, dark water drainage streaks when it rains and are less susceptible to growth from microorganisms.

At a glance

Impregnation explained clearly

Impregnation protects concrete surfaces from the penetration of water, dirt and other stresses. It is used when concrete needs to be permanently easier to maintain and more durable.

Who is this service suitable for?

Suitable for builders, administrations, planners and those responsible for maintenance of new or cleaned concrete surfaces.

Your benefits

  • Reduce water intakeSuitable systems limit the penetration of moisture into the surface.
  • Make cleaning easierDepending on the amount of wear and tear, dirt adheres less strongly to open pores.
  • Check opticsSamples show in advance whether the color or shine will be noticeably changed.

Typical challenges and solutions

Concrete absorbs water and dirt

Open pores and the influence of the weather promote contamination, moisture absorption and consequential damage.

BKOS chooses an impregnation that suits the surface, use and desired look.

The surface is better protected and easier to maintain.

Protective effect is uneven

Different absorbency, residual moisture or dirt influence absorption.

BKOS cleans and checks the surface, determines the application quantity and controls the application.

The impregnation can have a more even effect and fulfill its intended function better.

Applications

  • Facades, bases and exposed concrete
  • Concrete after cleaning or cosmetics
  • Areas exposed to moisture and dirt

Our approach

  1. Assess the surfaceBKOS checks the type of concrete, suction behavior, damage pattern, contamination and structural conditions directly on the property.
  2. Establish patterns and proceduresDepending on the surface, sampling, choice of material, color, protection system and work sequence are defined.
  3. Implement execution in a controlled mannerThe work is carried out in sections with ongoing monitoring of appearance, adhesion, drying and connection areas.
  4. Acceptance and care instructionsAfter execution, the result, limits and sensible care or protective measures are documented.

Quality and limitations

The surface must be clean, dry and suitable. The effect, visual change and care must be clarified in advance about patterns and product choice.

What determines the quotation?

  • Absorbency, moisture and cleanliness of the substrate
  • Desired protective effect and product choice
  • Area size and accessibility
  • Necessary cleaning and sampling

Available throughout Switzerland

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about this service

What is the difference between impregnation and sealing?

Impregnation penetrates the pores and usually changes the visible surface less. A sealant forms a stronger layer on the surface and can have a more significant impact on shine, feel and vapor permeability.

Does concrete impregnation change color or shine?

Depending on the product and absorbency, slight color deepening or differences in gloss are possible. A sample area shows how the system works on the concrete concrete.

How long does impregnation last on concrete?

The service life depends on the product, penetration depth, weathering, use and cleaning. Horizontal surfaces that are subject to heavy loads generally require inspection sooner than protected facade areas.

When can new concrete be waterproofed?

The concrete must be sufficiently hardened and dry; Release agents, after-treatment agents and contamination must be removed. The appropriate time depends on the system, component and construction site conditions.

How is impregnated concrete maintained?

Mild cleaning agents that match the protection system should be used. Aggressive chemicals, abrasive processes and uncontrolled high pressure can shorten the protective effect.
