How can a natural stone or concrete patio be made water-repellent to prevent moisture problems?

Patios made of natural stone or concrete are popular for their durability and aesthetic value, but these materials are often porous. This means they can absorb water, leading to moisture problems such as stains, mold formation, and even frost damage during cold periods. Rainwater that penetrates the stone can carry dirt and other contaminants, making maintenance difficult and shortening the patio's lifespan. To protect your patio from these harmful effects, it is essential to make the surface water-repellent. This not only helps prevent moisture problems but also makes it easier to keep the patio clean.

Lithofin Splash-Stop >W< forms an invisible layer that acts as a water repellent, making your patio more resistant to rain and moisture.

Lithofin Splash-Stop >W< is a water-based impregnating agent specifically developed to protect patios made of natural stone and concrete against water and moisture. This product penetrates deep into the pores of the stone, forming an invisible, water-repellent layer. As a result, rainwater stays on the surface of the stone and does not penetrate the material, preventing the formation of stains and mold. Moreover, Lithofin Splash-Stop >W< ensures that the stone retains its natural appearance without altering the color or making the surface slippery. The product is easy to apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer and dries within 30 to 60 minutes. One liter is sufficient to treat 10 to 25 m² of patio, depending on the stone's absorbency. By treating your patio with Lithofin Splash-Stop >W<, you ensure that it is better protected against the harmful effects of moisture and rain, extending the patio's lifespan and beauty.
