Add a protective and attractive cement coating to your foundation, wall, chimney, or masonry surface.
Parge coatings are used to cover exterior walls, most often foundations made of concrete, cinder block, brick, or stone. A parge coat is a thin layer of mortar applied to create a smooth, clean, attractive surface.
Made with Portland cement, also known as hydraulic cement, parging creates a durable protective foundation coating that can be painted, sealed, or left as-is. It is commonly used to improve curb appeal while adding an extra layer of weather protection.
When done incorrectly, parging can crack, crumble, or separate from the wall. Just Foundations Ottawa applies new parge coats and repairs old, damaged, or poorly installed parging throughout Greater Ottawa.
Parging is commonly applied to brick, cinder block, stone, and poured concrete. It works best when the surface is structurally sound, clean, and ready for proper adhesion.
If your foundation is cracked, shifting, or damaged, you may need foundation repairs or foundation crack repair before a parge coat is applied.
Parging is most often used on foundation exteriors, but it can also be applied to exposed block walls, retaining walls, chimneys, steps, staircases, stoops, and some interior foundation surfaces.
While parging is not a replacement for full basement waterproofing, it can add a protective coating that helps shield masonry from moisture, rain, snow, and freeze-thaw exposure.
