Which waterproofing product is right for your façade?

A beautiful façade deserves to stay beautiful.

A new façade immediately enhances the appearance of your home. Clean masonry, fresh joints and a well-maintained finish complete the overall look. Naturally, you want to keep it that way. That is why more and more homeowners are choosing to waterproof their façades.

Waterproofing prevents moisture from penetrating the façade while allowing the masonry to remain breathable. This helps protect the façade against dirt, moisture-related problems, efflorescence and discolouration.

Why protect your façade right away?

New masonry may look strong, but it is actually vulnerable to external influences. Rain, dirt and moisture can gradually penetrate the façade. This can lead to white deposits (efflorescence), greying and other forms of soiling.

By waterproofing your façade in time, you can prevent many of these problems. Your façade stays cleaner and drier for longer while retaining its original appearance.

The benefits of waterproofing

  • Protects against moisture and weather conditions.
  • Reduces the risk of efflorescence and discolouration.
  • Prevents dirt from adhering as easily to the façade.
  • Extends the lifespan of the masonry.
  • Preserves the appearance of the property.
  • Keeps the masonry vapour-permeable, allowing it to breathe.

Which BNL product do you need?

Not every façade requires the same treatment. That is why BNL offers a range of waterproofing products, each designed for a specific application.

BNL5: For standard façade protection

BNL5 is a water-based waterproofing product for façades made of brick, concrete, plaster and natural stone. It penetrates deep into the substrate and creates a durable water-repellent layer.

Suitable for:

  • New masonry.
  • Façades that have not been treated before.
  • Homes that require reliable basic protection.

BNL5 is an excellent choice when you want to protect your façade against moisture and dirt for the long term.

BNL7: Extra-powerful protection

BNL7 is the more powerful option within the range of water-based waterproofing products. Thanks to its higher concentration of active ingredients, it penetrates deep into the substrate and reacts very quickly.

Suitable for:

  • Façades requiring extra protection.
  • Projects where a longer service life is desired.
  • Brick, concrete, plaster, natural stone and pointing.

BNL7 provides durable protection and is ideal when you want that extra level of long-term security.

BNL10: For previously treated façades

Has your façade been waterproofed before? Then BNL10 is often the right choice.

BNL10 is a solvent-based waterproofing product specifically developed for façades that have already been treated or where bricks and mortars with water-repellent properties have been used.

Suitable for:

  • Previously waterproofed façades.
  • Renovation projects.
  • Façades where water-based products may adhere less effectively.

This ensures that existing façades remain optimally protected against moisture and dirt.

BNL25: The solution for new-build projects

For new-build projects, we often recommend BNL25. This product stands out because it is not a liquid product, but a waterproofing cream.

The cream remains on the surface for longer during application, allowing the active ingredients to penetrate deep into the masonry. This creates highly durable protection against moisture and dirt.

Suitable for:

  • New-build homes.
  • Large façade surfaces.
  • Façades that need to be protected immediately after completion.
  • Also suitable for previously waterproofed bricks or mortars.

BNL25 is also easy to apply with a block brush or roller. This makes the product popular with both professionals and private users.

In summary

BNL5: New, untreated façades requiring good basic protection
BNL7: Untreated façades where extra-durable protection is desired
BNL10: Previously waterproofed façades or renovation projects
BNL25: New-build projects and façades requiring maximum protection with a waterproofing cream

Protect your façade for the future

A façade is exposed to rain, wind, pollution and temperature fluctuations every day. With the right waterproofing treatment, you can prevent many problems before they occur.
