Coastal Facade

Protected from Day One

A newly built store facade in a coastal environment was treated with ZYTERRA immediately after construction. The two photographs show different views of the completed facade, not before and after conditions.

The Problem

  • The new facade would face constant humidity, sea spray and salt loading.
  • Water and salt penetration could lead to efflorescence and deterioration over time.
  • Protection was required from the beginning rather than after damage appeared.

The ZYTERRA Treatment

  • The facade was treated with the ZYTERRA mineral system.
  • The material penetrated the substrate and formed a mineral SiO₂ structure inside it.
  • The treatment was completed when the building was new to reduce future water and salt ingress.

The Result

  • The new facade received preventive protection from the start.
  • The mineral treatment became part of the substrate rather than forming an external film.
  • The appearance and breathable character of the facade were retained.
