QUOTE(Richard @ Jun 26 2017, 10:04 AM) I would think a good external paint will solve the problem.. An external paint can prevent seepage? It would prevent the water seepage into the wall and the window ledge would prevent water ponding..   |

QUOTE(Richard @ Jun 28 2017, 09:37 AM) My understanding.. External paint is a weatherproof material, is not a water proofing material. An external paint is a water resistance/water proofing surface coating so i suppose it does prevent water from seeping into the surface. Same theory as you do not use a weather proof camera at swimming pool. |

QUOTE(Richard @ Jun 28 2017, 11:39 AM) I agree.. Of course swimming pool and external wall is different in nature.However the application of the paint is for water seepage on a vertical outdoor wall.. which is a short period of water splash and open ventilation to air dry.. Not a swimming pool.. you will need a membrane layer for this type application .. There is a big difference of applications in your examples.. What I am trying to explain is the different of 'weather proof' and 'water proof'. And external paint is fall under weather proof category. |
