Definitely something you\u2019d rather avoid. Fortunately, there are effective ways to (proactively) protect your walls against penetrating damp. One of the most reliable solutions is impregnation cream.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-image-text  pb-30 pb-md-40 pb-lg-50 \" id=\"block_c47648248f17372acaa6b5e40153ce5b\">\n    <div class=\"container image_text_left\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-8 block-image-text__text pr-md-50 pr-lg-70 pr-xl-80 mb-20 mb-sm-0\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                                <h2>What is impregnation cream?<\/h2>\n<p>Impregnation cream is a colourless, water-repellent and breathable substance applied to the exterior of a wall. It\u2019s made of water-repellent substances that penetrate deep into the porous surface and form a waterproof layer across the wall. This barrier prevents water from entering the wall, helping you avoid moisture-related problems.<\/p>\n<p>Exterior walls are constantly exposed to the elements, so they can really benefit from a protective layer. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaplan.com\/en\/product\/rain-protect-cream\/\">Rain Protect Hydrofuge Cream<\/a><\/strong> is the ideal product. It\u2019s suitable for unpainted, vertical and porous exterior walls and fa\u00e7ades made of concrete, brick, plaster and sand-lime bricks. Rain Protect Hydrofuge Cream is so highly concentrated that just one coat is enough to give your wall long-lasting protection. Convenient, right?<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-5 col-lg-4 block-image-text__image  \" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                <img src=data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw== data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aquaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/RainProtect_GevelimpregneerCreme.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy img-fluid\">\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-editor pt-15 pb-15 \" id=\"block_6a6dfefa717c386d6a66c2d4fb9b3292\">\n    <div class=\"container\">                    <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-12\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                                        <h2>The benefits of using an impregnation cream<\/h2>\n<p>Want to avoid the hassle of mould, moss and algae growth, or even structural damage? Then waterproofing your wall is a must. By using an impregnation cream, you gain several important advantages.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The most obvious benefit is protection from moisture. The cream blocks external water from penetrating the wall, reducing the risk of damage and mould.<\/li>\n<li>It also offers resistance to all kinds of weather conditions, not just rain, but also frost and snow. It also reduces the likelihood of cracking, peeling paint and general wear and tear.<\/li>\n<li>An impregnating cream is breathable. Moisture cannot penetrate from the outside, but it can escape from the inside.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div><\/div>\n\n<section class=\"block block-image-text pt-30 pt-md-40 pt-lg-50 pb-30 pb-md-40 pb-lg-50 \" id=\"block_4e95698929415f071750636d8816f7a4\">\n    <div class=\"container image_text_right\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-7 col-lg-8 block-image-text__text order-2 pl-md-50 pl-lg-70 pl-xl-80 mt-20 mt-sm-0\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                                <h2>How to apply it properly<\/h2>\n<p>Applying an impregnation cream is easy, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Before you start, make sure the wall is clean. Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaplan.com\/en\/product\/garden-clean-bio-based\/\"><strong>Garden Clean Bio Based<\/strong><\/a>, for example. It\u2019s a universal bio-based cleaning product with active ingredients to loosen and break down dirt. Also, ensure there are no green deposits on the wall. If there are, treat them with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aquaplan.com\/en\/product\/garden-clean-green-remover\/\">Garden Clean Green Remover<\/a><\/strong>. These two products are very effective and ideal for preparing your wall before applying the cream.<\/p>\n<p>Once your wall is clean and free from dust and residue, you can start applying the impregnation cream. Use a block brush or roller to apply a thick, undiluted layer. One coat is enough. If the cream appears white at first, don\u2019t worry \u2013 that\u2019s normal. It will dry to a transparent finish.<\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"col-12 col-sm-5 col-lg-4 block-image-text__image order-1 \" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                <img src=data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw== data-src=\"https:\/\/www.aquaplan.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/DakMuur-Reiniger_sfeerbeeld1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazy img-fluid\">\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"block block-editor pt-30 pt-md-40 pt-lg-50 pb-15 \" id=\"block_28c17c53f1c8e3972a3c416b216cb141\">\n    <div class=\"container\">                    <div class=\"row\">\n                <div class=\"col-12\" data-aos=\"fade-up\">\n                                        <h3>Other ways to waterproof your wall<\/h3>\n<section id=\"sectionID\" class=\"content-dark infoblock-b\">\n<div class=\"content pb-5\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"info-page\">\n<p>While a product like Rain Protect Hydrofuge Cream is an excellent way to protect your exterior walls from penetrating damp, it\u2019s not your only option.
