Rising moisture in masonry over a long period of time can lead to considerable damages. An indication of these damages is salt efflorescence, flaking plaster, moist wallpaper and the formation of mold which can be harmful. KÖSTER horizontal barriers stop rising moisture in new construction and existing buildings to protect the valuable building substance.

The protection in new constructions against rising moisture is key to a long lifespan of walls. Installing a horizontal barrier underneath walls will prevent the future rising moisture due to capillary action, and the consequently damage caused by rising damp, salts, and efflorescence.

Mold in living areas caused by moisture penetration and thermal bridges results in extensive health damage, because the mold releases its spores into the air, which are then inhaled by the inhabitants. A special Anti Mold System – which functions on a purely physical basis and which is free of fungicidal toxins, provides a permanent protection since mold can not grow on this conditions.
