Waterproofing of walls is an important step to make your home water-resistant. It can help prevent a lot of damage, first aesthetically and then structurally. So, how do you create a waterproofed home? Here are four key areas that are most prone to water damage and you need to take care of when waterproofing your home:

Exterior walls

The external walls are exposed to harsh sun rays and heavy rains. If the walls are not waterproofed, to begin with, it is easy for leakages and dampness to seep in and damage both exterior and interior walls. It is important to understand the root cause of dampness on exterior walls. Berger Home Shield Waterproofing experts use Moisture Meter to find the cause of water damage and fix it with customised waterproofing solutions.

Interior walls

The most common sign of water damage is damp patches on the internal walls. If left untreated, they can cause harm to the main structure of the house. Use Home Shield interior waterproofing products and wall treatment to treat mild to severe damage caused by moisture.

Bathroom

Bathrooms are major wet areas in the house and experience water ingress throughout the year. If the tiling is not done carefully, the dampness and moisture found in most bathrooms can slowly damage your walls. Moreover, it can also deteriorate the walls in adjacent rooms. Berger Home Shield waterproofing products come with a performance warranty, ensuring that your bathroom walls remain leakage-free for years!

Roof and terrace

The chances of leakage from the roof of the terrace are high if it is not waterproofed. There are plenty of make-do waterproofing solutions available in the market today and some have quick fixes and old methods of terrace waterproofing like brickbat coba. While it might offer temporary solutions, but with temperature fluctuations and heavy rains, it is very likely to result in cracks and seepage soon after. Opt for professional waterproofing solutions like Berger Home Shield for long term results and performance.

If you are thinking of getting your house painted, especially during a pandemic, Berger Paints India has revived one of its leading painting experience, Berger Express Painting, which prioritises health, hygiene and safety. With this new offering, you can be assured of your safety at every stage of home painting. If you are itching to give your home walls a magical transformation, here are the top five reasons why Express Painting is your safest (and best!) bet:

Reason #1: Hygiene and Safety Protocols

You can book a professional painting service on Express Painting App. To ensure a contactless experience, you can get painting consultation and estimates, track work progress remotely, monitor health and body temperature of the painters assigned and complete transactions digitally using the app. This allows you to continue following social distancing and still have complete control of your home painting!

Reason #2: Timely Completion

Our painting professionals use mechanised tools so the job is done in a timely and precise manner. By investing in a professional painting service you can ensure that the project is completed within a predetermined timeline, giving you more time to focus on designs, decor and other things.

Reason #3: Cleanliness and Longevity

At the end of the assignment, our painters do a complete cleaning and disinfecting of the site, tools and the walls of your home for a clean and safe painting experience. Usage of furniture and floor covers keeps your valuables protected from paint drips and spills.

Reason #4: Structural Stability

Our painting experts are equipped with advanced tools like Moisture Meter and can detect damage and decay within your housing structure. If water and moisture enter the walls through structural weakness, it can result in rot and mould growth. While a paint job might be a temporary fix but soon the damage will show up on the new paint. Our experts are able to fix these structural defects prior to the painting process.

Reason #5: Seamless Experience

Painting can be incredibly stressful. But when you hire a professional painting service like Express Painting, it guarantees you the best possible results. In the event that you choose unskilled painters or DIY route and the painting project goes wrong, you will still need to hire a professional to repair and fix. So, it is better to simply hire a professional to begin with and leave the job of wall painting to the experts!

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the safest place to be is inside the comfort and safety of your home. Most of us are taking extra measures and precaution to make our homes safer for our families, be it sanitising frequently touched surfaces or disinfecting groceries. But people don’t realise that the walls of our homes that are frequently touched throughout the day are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria and could pose a big risk to our health.

At a time when the world has closed in on us and we are spending an extended amount of time indoors, it has become even more important to make our homes safer and healthier. The four walls of our homes take up the most space and somehow still continue to be ignored until the festive season comes along.

So, if while painting your home walls, apart from making it just aesthetically pleasing, could give them pollution, germs and bacteria fighting abilities, would that be too good to be true? Well, not anymore. Berger Paints India has launched a luxury interior paint, Silk Breathe Easy designed to give walls a classy and rich appearance while also reducing pollution and killing harmful bacteria. Formulated with 100% acrylic emulsions and vibrant pigments together with bio-resistant additives, it prevents the growth of bacteria, fungus and algae. The paint retains a fresh, glossy look for a long time and has low VOC, formaldehyde reduction abilities and a pleasant smell, making sure you can occupy the room soon after its application. It is a one-time investment for the health of your walls. When it comes to wall painting, this paint is the paint of the future!
