Elastomeric coatings can be a very practical and cost effective solution for protecting above grade exterior walls from water intrusion, while also providing a wide range of aesthetic options in terms of available colors and textures.  In addition to being particularly UV and weather resistant, other significant advantages over conventional acrylic coatings are that elastomeric coatings are flexible, allowing for thermal expansion and contraction of the surface; they can bridge small cracks in the surface of the coated wall; and they are also breathable, allowing water vapor to migrate through the coating rather than causing it to bubble.  Everclear Enterprises, Inc. understands the importance of proper surface preparation and ensuring that the system is applied with uniform thickness in order to recognize the full range of protection the system is capable of providing.
