It is monsoon time in Kerala, and apartment and home care are of utmost importance during this time. If you don’t take proper care and precautions, the high atmospheric moisture content can damage both interiors and exteriors. Often it can make the walls look shabby and drab if left uncared in this state, for a long time. So, in most of the apartments of Trinity Builders Cochin, this is factored in. Hence, construction materials like waterproof putty and paints are used to provide better resilience to moisture. The purpose of this article is to give you a better understanding of monsoon Wall care.

The Problem During Monsoon Season

In most cases, the state of interior walls is dependent on how you take care of the exterior walls. The concrete used in the construction of apartments is porous, this allows water or moisture to seep inside the walls and get collected especially during monsoon. This moisture build-up creates damp patches that cause both interior and exterior wall paint layers to develop blisters and peel off.

You should also know that the manufactured sand or M-sand used now in the concrete has a relatively bigger particle size than normal sand. Because of this, the porosity of concrete increases, and hence water seepage into walls rise. Also, the moisture that is collected within the walls will remain for sometime after the monsoon season. This is why interior walls are prone to damage even if they are painted during the dry season.

The Solution To Wall Care Problem

It is obvious from reading the above section that good exterior wall care is very important if you want the interior walls to be intact. So, the choice of exterior wall care materials used like primers, waterproof putty, and waterproof emulsion can have a significant impact. The usual procedure is to apply a layer of primer paint on the wall, which is then topped with a layer of waterproof wall putty, and a layer of primer paint and a final layer of waterproof emulsion/paint. It is ideal to do the exterior painting works during the dry months, especially between February and April.

The interior painting work should be done a few months before or after the monsoon to avoid damage to the new paint. It will be ideal if the painters check the moisture level in the walls before painting interior walls. The apartments and other projects from Trinity Builders Ernakulam use the best material in their construction to avoid moisture-related damages.
