Overview

Those who forget the past are doomed to restore it. Attempts to remove the outer layers of the exterior coating of the historic Rockland Mansion resulted in significant damage to the original lime stucco finish. Philadelphia’s Fairmount Park Historic Preservation Trust turned to Cathedral Stone® Products to provide an original solution. Environmentally friendly Silin Silith hybrid mineral coating for masonry was the answer.

Custom Solution

Silin Silith could be applied over the remnants of the previous coatings, while offering the benefits of both a dispersion coating and a mineral coating. Silin Silith forms a long-lasting molecular bond with the masonry substrate to prevent corrosion and to repel water, yet it is vapor permeable to allow the masonry to respond naturally to water vapor.

The immaculate façade of this 1801 Federal style villa hints at the successful restoration inside, but speaks volumes about why Silin coatings have been used in Europe for more than 160 years. Silin Silith is an exceptionally long-lasting, highly durable hybrid mineral coating, available in North America only through Cathedral Stone Products.
