Maintaining Your Rhino Shield Installation

Maintaining your Rhino Shield coating properly is key to extending the life of your protective barrier.

It is recommended to periodically clean your home after a Rhino Shield installation to maintain the effectiveness and visual appeal of the coating.  Pollen, air pollution, spores and surface dirt cling to your home’s exterior over time.  A mild soap or cleanser works well to remove this buildup.

A garden hose performs best to cleanse your home’s substrate.  Avoid power washing your home after a Rhino Shield installation; if used improperly, a high power machine may cause lasting damage to your home and coating.

While washing your home, check for openings in the caulk joints around any windows, doors, trim, and siding.  It is also best to keep shrubs, trees and plants at least one foot away from siding.

Use Rhino Shield To Enhance Your Brick Home

Rhino Shield ceramic coating can accentuate the look of your brick home after its application.

Brick is beautiful, long lasting and durable. How can Rhino Shield enhance the surface of an already strong substrate? Rhino Shield’s technology enhances the look of brick in many ways. Because of its high build acrylic-urethane-elastomeric formula, it waterproofs and insulates the surface in addition to beautifying your home.  The cracks and crevices throughout the brick are sealed with an adhesive base coat to help protect your home from rugged elements, reducing the possibility of mortar cracking and falling out.  Rhino Shield also maintains the look of your substrate; therefore, the brick texture of your home is maintained after a Rhino Shield installation.

Traditional paint applied on brick typically lasts 3-5 years. Spalling can occur on your home within that time frame.  Characteristics of spalling include splitting and flaking of masonry and brick. Minute cracks in concrete, brick, or mortar joints if not filled properly with paint, will allow moisture to enter. In winter this moisture freezes and swells, splitting off small pieces of masonry. The surface, due to spalling, gradually erodes eventually breaking down the surface of the masonry.

Rhino Shield Ceramic Coating allows you to avoid these pesky maintenance issues of peeling and flaking paint. Brick is a porous material that needs to breathe and our coating allows water vapors to escape, reducing the possibility of brick corrosion from moisture damage.  Coating brick with Rhino Shield also affords you the opportunity to completely change the look of your home’s exterior. It can also be custom tinted, truly giving you a diverse look.

If you are considering applying Rhino Shield to your brick home or business, contact Rhino Shield today.
