Historic Structure Preservation

The Problem: Deterioration of Historic Concrete, Brick & Stone

Historic structures are exposed to pollution, moisture, and biological growth, leading to surface degradation, discoloration, and loss of structural integrity. Preserving these materials requires specialized cleaning and sealing to maintain their original aesthetics while preventing future damage.

The Solution: Surtreat’s Historic Preservation System

Surtreat provides a two-part preservation system to clean and protect historic structures:

  • SurCoClean: Removes dirt, organic growth, and contaminants without damaging historic materials.
  • SurCoShield: Seals and protects surfaces, preventing moisture ingress and environmental wear.

Application Process: How to Preserve Historic Structures

Step 1: Surface Cleaning with SurCoClean
- Apply SurCoClean to remove accumulated dirt, organic growth, and chlorides.
- Ensures deep pore cleaning while preserving the material’s original texture and appearance.
- Allow the surface to dry completely before sealing.

Step 2: Apply SurCoShield
- Apply SurCoShield as a protective layer to prevent moisture and environmental damage.
- Forms a hydrophobic barrier that resists mold, pollutants, and water infiltration.
- Helps retain the structure’s historical integrity while reducing future maintenance needs.

Results: Why Surtreat’s Historic Preservation System Works

Preserved Aesthetic Integrity – Maintains the original look of historic materials.
Enhanced Durability – Protects against environmental damage, moisture, and pollutants.
Long-Term Structural Protection – Seals and reinforces surfaces to extend service life.
Reduced Maintenance Cycles – Minimizes restoration costs by preventing future degradation.
