Why Choose a Specialized Masonry-Chemical Supplier?
Brick, stone, concrete, mortar and pavers should not be cleaned or protected with generic products selected only according to price.
Every surface has its own characteristics, including:
- Porosity
- Mineral composition
- Colour
- Surface finish
- Sensitivity to acids
- Absorption rate
- Exposure to water, salt and freeze-thaw cycles
- Type of contamination to be removed
Using the wrong product may cause discolouration, streaking, mortar damage, surface alteration or ineffective protection.
A specialized supplier can help determine:
- The exact type of surface
- The nature of the contamination
- The compatible product
- The appropriate dilution
- The correct application method
- The precautions that must be followed
- The protective treatment to apply after cleaning
1001 Produits et Services therefore provides more than containers of chemicals. The company helps professionals select a complete solution to clean, restore, protect and maintain masonry and concrete over the long term.
A Complete Selection of Masonry Products
The 1001 masonry-product collection includes more than 60 solutions and accessories for cleaning, protecting, waterproofing and restoring mineral surfaces. (les1001.ca)
This selection addresses many of the problems commonly encountered on construction and restoration projects.
Cleaning New Masonry Construction
After a brick or concrete-block wall has been installed, several residues may remain visible:
- Mortar smears
- Construction dirt
- Job-site dust
- Cement film
- Efflorescence
- Marks caused by construction work
PROSOCO Sure Klean 600 is a concentrated acidic cleaner designed for the final cleaning of new masonry construction. It helps dissolve mortar smears, efflorescence and construction dirt on compatible brick, concrete and stone surfaces. (les1001.ca)
Compared with raw muriatic acid, a formulated professional cleaner provides a more controlled method and technical documentation suitable for construction projects.
Removing Efflorescence
Efflorescence appears as white or powdery deposits on brick, concrete, blocks and mortar joints.
For stubborn deposits, 1001 offers products such as FORCE Concentrated Industrial Acid Cleaner, a professional solution designed to help remove:
- Efflorescence
- Cement residue
- Rust stains
- Mineral accumulation
- Organic atmospheric pollution
- Certain types of façade contamination
FORCE is available in a concentrated 20-litre format and is manufactured in Canada. (les1001.ca)
Before application, it remains essential to identify the source of moisture, confirm substrate compatibility and perform a test area.
Cleaning Older Building Façades
A façade exposed for many years may accumulate:
- Atmospheric pollution
- Soot
- Combustion residue
- Oxidation stains
- Embedded dirt
- Mineral staining
- Organic residue
1001 offers restoration cleaners such as Sure Klean Light Duty Restoration Cleaner, which is designed to remove certain atmospheric and oxidation stains from compatible dense masonry. (les1001.ca)
The product selection must always reflect the type of brick, stone or concrete. A cleaner intended for fired-clay brick may not be suitable for limestone or another acid-sensitive material.
Removing Graffiti and Unwanted Coatings
Graffiti and unwanted coatings can penetrate deeply into porous surfaces. An improper cleaning method may spread the stain or leave a permanent mark.
1001 distributes graffiti-removal products and protective anti-graffiti systems for commercial, municipal and institutional projects, including Sure Klean and PROSOCO solutions.
The selection includes both removers and protective barriers that can make future cleaning easier. (les1001.ca)
Water Repellents for Brick, Stone and Concrete
After cleaning or restoring a façade, a penetrating water-repellent treatment can help reduce water penetration into porous materials.
A penetrating water repellent should not be confused with paint or a film-forming coating. Silane- and siloxane-based treatments penetrate the surface and can help repel water while still allowing moisture vapour to escape.
1001 offers products such as:
- Weather Seal Siloxane PD
- Siloxane WB Concentrate
- SL100
- Saltguard WB
- Saltguard VOC
- ProtectGuard
- Various treatments for natural stone and mineral surfaces
The collection includes solutions for brick, stone, concrete, pavers and other compatible porous materials. (les1001.ca)
Sure Klean Weather Seal Siloxane PD
PROSOCO Weather Seal Siloxane PD is a ready-to-use, water-based water repellent designed for concrete and several compatible masonry and stucco surfaces.
It penetrates the material to provide protection without trapping moisture beneath a surface film. It may be used on certain vertical and horizontal surfaces, subject to the product data sheet and a preliminary test. (les1001.ca)
Protection Against Water and Salt
In Quebec and across Canada, freeze-thaw cycles and de-icing salts create major challenges for exterior surfaces.
Treatments such as Saltguard WB and Saltguard VOC are designed to create a penetrating barrier against water and salts on compatible substrates.
These products may be considered for:
- Driveways
- Sidewalks
- Concrete surfaces
- Parking areas
- Public buildings
- Structures exposed to salt splash
- Certain pavers and masonry elements
The appropriate product depends on the surface, its condition, its use and the project requirements.
Concrete Sealers, Hardeners and Densifiers
1001 Produits et Services also supplies products for treating and protecting concrete floors and surfaces.
The selection includes:
- Concrete sealers
- Densifiers
- Hardeners
- Dustproofing treatments
- Protective finishes
- Glossy sealers
- Polishing products
- Cure and sealer removers
- Surface-preparation products
Consolideck LS and LS/CS
Consolideck densifiers are designed to penetrate concrete and react with its components to harden and densify the surface.
Consolideck LS/CS may be used on newly finished concrete or certain existing concrete floors. When correctly selected and applied, it helps reduce dusting and improve surface durability. (les1001.ca)
LSGuard
PROSOCO LSGuard is a protective treatment and glossy sealer for compatible concrete surfaces. It may be incorporated into a finishing system for commercial, industrial or institutional floors. (les1001.ca)
The desired result may vary according to the project:
- Natural finish
- Satin finish
- Glossy finish
- Reduced dusting
- Stain resistance
- Easier maintenance
- Improved concrete appearance
Surface preparation remains essential. A sealer applied over contaminated, damp or poorly prepared concrete may develop adhesion problems, whitening or an uneven appearance.
Approved PROSOCO Distributor
1001 Produits et Services is an approved PROSOCO distributor and offers a substantial selection of the brand’s products for Quebec and Ontario. (les1001.ca)
PROSOCO is recognized for solutions designed for:
- Cleaning new masonry construction
