Concrete & surface protection

As specialists in surface treatment, we work on exposed concrete as well as other sensitive materials, adapting our methods to the nature of the substrate and the constraints of the project.

Whether for public buildings or interior or exterior fittings exposed to the effects of weather or vandalism, we apply targeted, durable protection solutions that respect the environment and surfaces.

Extend the lifespan of your structures

We offer a wide range of products to protect your concrete and other surfaces, from basic protection to comprehensive, in-depth protection. Several treatments can be combined to optimise the protection of your structures.

Concerned about the impact of building materials, we work with eco-friendly products. The environment is at the heart of our concerns.

Water-repellent treatment :
Protects surfaces such as concrete, stone or tiles against moisture and dirt. Invisible after application, it penetrates deeply and prevents water from seeping in while allowing the material to breathe. The result: fewer stains, less moss and better resistance to the elements. Ideal for walls, terraces and façades, it helps keep your outdoor spaces looking beautiful and durable for longer.

Hydro-oleophobic treatment :
This treatment creates an invisible barrier that protects surfaces from water, oil, dirt and everyday stains. Thanks to its water-repellent effect, similar to water sliding off a duck's feather, liquids do not penetrate the material, making cleaning much easier. It is ideal for floors, terraces or worktops, both indoors and outdoors. With no visible film, it allows the surface to breathe and retains its natural appearance while keeping it clean for longer.
Anti-corrosion treatment :
Specially designed to protect metal reinforcements embedded in concrete, the anti-corrosion treatment prevents oxidation and structural degradation. By stabilising the pH around the reinforcement and blocking moisture, it prevents the formation of rust, which is often responsible for cracks and splinters. This preventive or curative treatment is essential for the durability of structures exposed to aggressive environments (coastal areas, tunnels, car parks, etc.).

Field of application

Walls

The treatments protect vertical surfaces against moisture, dirt and water ingress, while preserving the appearance of the material

Ceilings

Applied to horizontal or inverted surfaces, the treatments provide a barrier against rising damp and the gradual deterioration of materials.

Facades

The treatments enhance the resistance of façades to external damage, limit staining and facilitate maintenance over time.

Landscaping concrete

Subject to frequent use, these surfaces benefit from treatments that improve their performance, reduce their susceptibility to dirt and extend their durability.

Mineral elements

The treatments enhance and protect exposed mineral surfaces, preserving their original texture and colour while making them less sensitive to external damage.

Hydro-oleophobic

Pore filler, excellent water and oil repellent effect.

Water repellent

Acts deeply, providing a barrier against moisture, corrosion and moss

Anti-Corrosion

Prevention of corrosion in structural steel / decarbonation

Our range of products for protecting your surfaces

Protecting mineral materials and concrete is essential to ensuring the durability and aesthetic appeal of structures over time. At Novalla, we offer reliable technical solutions tailored to different levels of exposure and the specific needs of each surface.

Hydrophobisation, in particular, plays a key role in limiting the harmful effects of moisture and pollutants. Our products are designed to meet different objectives: preventing water absorption, repelling liquids and dirt, and protecting metal reinforcements against corrosion.

Protection against water absorption

When the main challenge is to limit a surface's ability to absorb moisture, a water-repellent treatment is recommended. It penetrates deep into the material, reduces porosity and prevents water from seeping in, while allowing the surface to breathe.

Protection against water ingress

If you want to actively prevent water or oily liquids from adhering to surfaces, a water- and oil-repellent treatment is the most suitable option. It forms an invisible barrier that repels water, oils and dirt, while preserving the natural appearance of the material.

Full protection

In extreme conditions (high humidity, highly exposed surfaces, aggressive environments), the combination of a water-repellent treatment (deep down) and a water- and oil-repellent treatment (on the surface) provides comprehensive, long-lasting protection.

Aesthetic objective

Beyond protection, water- and oil-repellent treatments offer a neat finish thanks to their beading effect, which prevents liquids from soaking in and makes maintenance easier. An ideal solution for keeping surfaces clean, neat and attractive for longer.
