Loxon XP waterproofing coating

​Loxon XP waterproofing coating manufactured by Sherwin Williams is a great choice when it comes to prolonging the life and beauty of your concrete and masonry of your home. Sherwin Williams is a renowned manufacturer of water proof coatings, paints and primers for over 150 years!

​Why Loxon XP?
First, the Waterproofing process is making a building or structure waterproof, or water-resistant, so that it remains relatively unaffected by water and resists the ingress of water under specified conditions. Thus, when you must do this, it requires a product that is of high quality to avoid leaks when and where you least expect them.
​

Furthermore, the Loxon XP is a formula that seals and protects the exterior above the ground foundation from water related damage. With this product, you are not required to prime first, rather, you will apply it directly to the concrete or bricks (as the case may be). Masonry conditioner can be used, but not mandatory.
​
Additionally, flexibility is a good quality that good waterproof formulas must possess. Loxon XP is a flexible waterproof coating (up to 300%). This, is a very durable waterproofing product that we use here in Jacksonville, FL. regularly.

​
Great for concrete, cement, concrete block, masonry and stucco.

​Cons:
 In 20 plus years, we have only noticed one! When using darker colors here in Jacksonville, Florida it is not as fade resistant as you would think. However, we have developed an iron clad system for combating the fading to ensure color retention. We apply thick coats of the Loxon XP to address any cracks, voids or moisture intrusion problems. Then we apply our final coat using a high-grade acrylic paint. This combo allows for total success!
 
Since a waterproofing coating is an absolute must to guard against the effects of water, for our concrete, cement, concrete block and stucco, it is also important that we pick the best product available for that purpose. This saves the trouble of spending more, saves the stress of redoing the job in a short time and the risk of having water leaks, when it’s least expected. 
​

In conclusion:
​Though we have observed 1 con, the pros far supersede. On that note, Loxon XP is a great option for handling waterproofing problems and keeping your exterior looking amazing for many years!
