Masonry Cleaning
Our masonry cleaning solutions remove dirt, graffiti, and stains while preserving structural integrity. Contractors and architects rely on products like Sure Klean for safe, effective surface restoration. With formulations dating to 1956, we combine proven chemistry with modern environmental standards.
Concrete Flooring
The Consolideck system enhances concrete floors with hardeners, stains, and sealers. Our lithium-silicate technology reduces dusting while decorative options offer aesthetic flexibility. Solutions cut maintenance costs by up to 60% compared to traditional materials.
Anchoring Systems
Grip-Tie and Facade-Tie systems stabilize new and existing masonry. Engineered for code compliance, these anchors address thermal bridging and retrofit challenges. Technical support ensures proper installation for seismic and wind-load resistance.
