When you’re building or renovating your home, dampness and water seepage are issues you cannot ignore. Moisture seeping through walls, ceilings, or foundations can cause a host of problems—from peeling paint and efflorescence to corrosion of steel reinforcements. Over time, it can weaken your structure and increase maintenance costs. Even small leaks in foundations or walls can lead to costly repairs. That’s why choosing the right cement, designed to protect against water, is crucial for every part of your home.
What Makes ACC Gold Water Shield Different
ACC Gold Water Shield is a specially formulated cement with unique water-repellent properties at the particle level. This means that even as cement hydrates, it prevents water from penetrating your walls, roofs, or foundations. Unlike ordinary cement, it acts as a shield, stopping seepage and protecting your home from moisture-related damage.
The benefits go beyond just keeping your walls dry. With ACC Gold Water Shield, you reduce long-term maintenance costs, save on repeated spending on paints and interior repairs, and ensure the durability of your structure. Essentially, it gives your home a longer life while giving you peace of mind.
Applications Where Protection Matters Most
One of the best things about ACC Gold Water Shield is its versatility. It’s not just for one part of the home - it can be used in all critical areas where water damage is a concern. Here’s how it helps:
Foundations
Your foundation is the base of your home, and any water seepage here can be disastrous. ACC Gold Water Shield protects against water percolation and the movement of harmful salts like chlorides and sulfates. This ensures that your foundation remains strong, durable, and resistant to structural damage over time.
Walls and Ceilings
Whether internal or external, walls and ceilings are constantly exposed to moisture. This can lead to salt efflorescence, damp patches, and weakened plaster. Using ACC Gold Water Shield in plastering prevents moisture penetration, helping you maintain healthy indoor conditions and a beautiful, durable finish.
Beams and Columns
Steel reinforcements inside beams and columns are vulnerable to corrosion if water seeps through. ACC Gold Water Shield stops water molecules from reaching the steel, keeping your structural supports safe and durable. This means fewer worries about cracks or rust over the years.
Slab Casting
Concrete slabs are another critical area where water can cause damage. Using ACC Gold Water Shield ensures that water cannot penetrate and reach the steel reinforcements. This protection keeps your slabs strong and prevents corrosion, giving you a durable, long-lasting roof or floor.
Tanks and Water-Retaining Structures
Water tanks, reservoirs, and other retaining structures need concrete that is impermeable. ACC Gold Water Shield resists capillary action and stops water from passing through concrete pores. This makes your water-holding structures secure, leak-free, and long-lasting.
Brick Masonry
Even everyday brick masonry work benefits from ACC Gold Water Shield. It improves workability in cement mortar, making it easier to lay bricks. Less material wastage and reduced rebound loss mean savings on both material and labor costs, making your construction process more efficient.
