Micro-organisms, the enemies of façades / pavings / roofs

All buildings are exposed on a daily basis to various climatic hazards such as wind, water and sun. These elements help to create an environment that is particularly conducive to the growth of algae and lichens. These micro-organisms will then develop on the various materials present on the outside of structures such as facades, roofs or terrace pavings. Little by little, these biological agents will deteriorate the materials and cause aesthetic problems. So it’s important to look after the outside of your home properly to limit the damage.

Why treat façades, roofs and pavings with fungicides-algicides?

Facades/roofs/pavings need to be well protected to prevent the appearance of algae and lichens or to eradicate their presence. To get rid of these micro-organisms, there are numerous cleaning and treatment products available to protect buildings, whatever the type of material being treated: stone, slate, tile, concrete, rendering, thatch, paint, cement.
These products will attack algae and lichen to restore your buildings to their original appearance.
