How to prevent black spot and humidity on the façade: The secret of a good cubremuros

There is nothing that spoils more the aesthetics of a house or of a community building that the black spots, drips vertical dirt or moisture that are born in the upper part of the walls and down, destroying the painting of the facade.

Many homeowners think that the solution is to simply re-paint every two or three years. But let's be honest: that is to pull the money in patches temporary. If you do not delete the root of the problem, in the fall the first heavy rains of the region, the drips will appear.

Today we are going to tell why they produce exactly these spots and how a cubremuros or packsaddle aluminum is the only definitive solution to keep your facade impeccable during several decades.

Why there are black stains and dampness in the wall?

The technical process is very simple, but devastating for the painting:

Accumulation of dirt: In the upper part of the outer walls (the breastplate of the terrace, balcony or perimeter walls) is deposited dust, pollution, pollen, and sand tiles.
The effect of drag: When it rains, water soaks through the surface flat, dissolve all the accumulated dirt and, when you do not have a barrier that prevents sliding wall down because of gravity.
Consequences in the long run: This mixture of dirty water penetrates into the pores of the mortar. With the sun end of the southeast, the humidity is heated, spats paint, cracking the lining and creating the perfect habitat for mold or mildew and black mushrooms.

The final solution: Copings aluminum continuous with drip cap

To cut this cycle root, the architects of today will no longer rely on the borders of traditional stone (that finish crack by the boards with the heat). The modern solution is the packsaddle of aluminum 1 mm, lacquered with polyamide.

Why is this system eliminates the stains completely? For two details of the technical design are crucial:

1. The design with drip cap (lateral Flight)

Our cubremuros aluminum die not flush with the wall. Are custom-made for protruding a couple of inches to each side of the wall and end up in a small lip downward sloping called the throat.

When water from rain pulls dirt from the top, it reaches the edge of the aluminum and drips directly into the void, without ever touching the painting of the facade. The wall is kept 100% dry and clean.

2. Complete leak-tightness and without mortar joints

Unlike the pieces of marble or stone, that is placed stretch stretch-united with cement, our aluminum is installed with concealed fixings and coupling systems watertight. There is No cement can crack with the sun end, so that the water never will trickle down to the inside of the brick.
