landscaping, water features, & fountain coatings
water feature coatings
If you are concerned about the deterioration of water features built into landscaping, polymer coatings provide several benefits. These include:
- Forming a leak-proof membrane
- Protecting against corrosive chemicals
- Adding unique design elements
Concrete or plastic-lined water basins such as ponds and fountains are particularly susceptible to deterioration with the use of chlorine and winterizing agents. Cold weather expands and contracts resulting in cracks and leaks. Even rain water flowing through a channel will eventually erode concrete and stone.
not all soil will hold water
Another problem caused by leaks is that water gradually seeps out of fountains and pools. Compounded by natural evaporation, low water levels detract from the aesthetic value or even worse will damage pumps. Large commercial water features can also threaten the environment where major leaks contain chemicals.
Do you want to build a pond or repair a pond that leaks? Not all soil will hold water, especially if no water is running through the area, such as damming a spring. The best method in planning is to lay a geotextile liner then spray an ArmorThane water-tight barrier over it. If the pond currently has a liner with a hole, ArmorThane has the products to seal and strengthen the surface.
Whether for commercial or residential application, ArmorThane provides polyurethane, polyurea and hybrid coatings that both repair concrete damage and leaks and proactively protect against future problems. Water-based landscaping lasts longer and looks better using these protective coatings.
