Moisture by capillarity is one of the pathologies suffered by many homes in low-lying areas and facades directly in contact with the ground and that occurs when the water and salts found in the ground rise through the pores of the materials. That act as capillary tubes, causing the unpleasant efflorescences or saltpeter stains and the flaking that we observe in the start of facades and walls.

Why is it produced?
The main reason is the presence of water on the ground that is directly in contact with the wall, facade or wall that suffers from this pathology.
This water can be due to different causes such as accumulation due to poorly evacuated rains, waterproofing and drainage failures when executing the work or the presence of water tables (underground water).

How can it be solved?
The best solution for this type of pathology is to favour the elimination of this moisture by natural evaporation.
We have to let our wall or facade “breathe”, that is, not cover the pores of our materials, which would create a screen that would prevent natural evaporation.
Why DECOPROYEC sprayed cork?
DECOPROYEC sprayed cork is formulated with natural cork from the bark of the cork oak.
Thanks to its molecular structure, this material is highly porous with an excellent capillary network, which makes it a highly breathable material that allows the transit of water vapor from the ground to the outside at all times, favoring the evaporation of the causing water of moisture by capillarity.
It also has high adherence and resistance to aging caused by water and UV rays, which guarantees its resistance for many years.
