Water-repellent treatment & coating à Kraainem
Clear or coloured water repellent for porous tiles and facades. Kraainem stands out for its materials.
10 km from our depot in Grimbergen
What that changes here
Under trees a water repellent makes little sense if the roof is covered in leaves again within the year. We only apply it after a full clean and a clearing of the surroundings, and we say plainly that it does not replace the annual gutter maintenance.
Kraainem is a small, densely built municipality on the periphery, with many interwar and 1950s houses. Slates and small clay tiles are more common here than elsewhere on the periphery, and they call for a different approach from the concrete tile of the housing estates.
What we get called out for in Kraainem
Kraainem stands out for its materials. Where the rest of the periphery carries concrete tile, we still find a lot of natural slate and small interwar clay tiles. They call for a different hand and different fixings, and pressure washing is rarely a good idea here.
Kraainem porte le code postal 1950 et se situe in the eastern periphery of Brussels. Notre équipe part de Grimbergen, à 10 km : nous y planifions le traitement hydrofuge en même temps que les chantiers de Wezembeek-Oppem, Zaventem et Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, pour qu’un déplacement serve plusieurs toitures.

Pour un devis, la visite à Kraainem se fixe en général sous quelques jours ouvrés. Nous partons de Grimbergen, à 10 km, et nous groupons nos visites par secteur : si un chantier tourne déjà cette semaine à Wezembeek-Oppem ou Zaventem, cela peut aller plus vite. En cas de fuite active, nous venons d’abord bâcher et sécuriser ; le traitement hydrofuge n’est chiffrée qu’ensuite.
Applied properly on a clean, dry surface, allow eight to ten years on a roof and five to eight years on a facade exposed to westerly rain. The first sign of wear is easy to spot: the water no longer beads, it spreads out and darkens the material.
The clear product changes nothing about the appearance: it is the default choice, and the only one allowed in a protected area. The coloured product evens out a covering whose colours have drifted after successive repairs. It does not rescue a covering at the end of its life — it disguises it, and we will tell you so.
