Historic Restoration and Protection Using Kemper Waterproofing
Do you have an old, historic residence or commercial building that you want to protect from water intrusion while maintaining historical architectural elements such as clay tile or stone?
Kemper System can be paired with limestone, sandstone, terracotta and other cast stone ornamental elements to provide excellent water absorption prevention. Kemper System products can be installed as through-wall flashing to restore virtually any architectural element and substrate.
In addition, the waterproofing membrane withstands dimensional changes associated with dissimilar materials, such as tenting. Tenting is the process whereby the roofing membrane pulls away from the base of walls, for example, and opens up room for water to infiltrate. Kemper offers excellent protection for cornices, ledges and water tables without compromising aesthetics. Kemper’s aggregate surfacing and colored quartz blend with transparent finish can flawlessly preserve the original look of the building or structure while protecting potential vulnerable sites of water intrusion.
