Our home is our safe place where we seek refuge from the world. And let’s be honest, no one wants their house to be ruined with damp patches and ugly stains. To help you out, our experts have listed down the most common waterproofing problems and their scientific solutions ft. Berger Homeshield Scientific Solutions.

Exterior Walls

The exterior walls face the brunt of heavy rains, strong winds and harmful UV rays. Other factors like underground water, leaky pipes, pollution and dust can cause further damage to the exterior walls. Lack of a robust waterproofing system, wrong choice of materials, no use of Homeshield Moisture Meter to determine moisture levels and using outdated waterproofing installation systems can further contribute to the deterioration of exterior walls.

Berger Homeshield has a range of waterproofing systems like Homeshield Waterproof Putty and Damp Shield Elasto that are best suited for external walls. They offer enhanced protection from external elements, protecting the integrity and aesthetics of your home.

Interior Walls

The focal point of waterproofing should be your interiors, especially damp prone areas like the bathroom, kitchen and utility area. Since these are the areas in the house from where most of the water ingress happens throughout the year. Any seepage from these walls can impact the adjacent walls.

However, sometimes the cause of dampness can also be external factors such as heavy rains. In these cases, it is a good idea to waterproof your internal walls. Remember that it is always better to get help sooner than later.

Berger Homeshield has a variety of interior waterproofing systems like Wall Shield 2K, Homeshield Waterproof Putty, Seal-o-Prime to keep your interiors waterproof and looking like new for years to come!

Roof

In any bungalow or building, the roof or the terrace is one of the most affected parts since it gets directly impacted by heavy rains during monsoons and extreme heat during summers. Moreover, many roofs are built with overhead tanks and pipelines which can cause dampness issues throughout the year. If proper scientific waterproofing solutions are not used, water from the roof can seep into the building's structure, especially if there are cracks and gaps in the roof.

Berger Homeshield has a variety of waterproofing systems for all your roof waterproofing requirements like Weathercoat Kool & Seal, Weathercoat Roof Guard, Damp Shield Elasto, PU RoofKoat, offering the ultimate waterproofing solution for your terrace.

Colour is a powerful medium. It can help make or break a space. But when it comes to choosing the best colours for home decor, the choices can be confusing. To sort you out, these lessons in colour will give you no-fail techniques to help you embrace colour for your interiors like never before!

Lesson 1: Curate a Colour Palette

Working with a colour palette does not only help create a cohesive feel, but it also helps with the transitions between rooms. You don’t want a jarring effect caused by an out of place colour, especially when you have smaller rooms. For a curated colour palette, pick colours closer to each other in the colour wheel for walls and add contrasting colours in minor doses.

Lesson 2: Don’t Be Afraid of Colour

One of the best ways to elevate the style of your space is to introduce some colour. However, some people are more colour-averse than they like to think. If that is the case, you can begin by adding colours in a limited manner, start small with key accessories like throw pillows, area rugs or a statement vase that can be easily switched out if your mood changes. Alternatively, you can opt for new neutrals that give the space a dose of colour but are subtle enough to pass off as neutral, like sage green, greige or pastel tones.

Lesson 3: Strike a Balance Between Prints And Colours

When using a statement pattern or print, it is important to keep the colour usage to a minimum to achieve a calmer, less chaotic effect. Balance out colours and prints with each other to create perfect harmony.

Lesson 4: Think Bold Furniture

Furniture is a great way to add colour to the space. Be it more traditional colours like cherry, oak or walnut or statement colours like red, green or blue, wooden paint can be used to add style and pizzazz to your home. For the best first impression, you can use wooden door paint colours in bright shades like black, red or mint green or simply recycle outdated furniture using Berger Imperia Breathe Easy range.
