Micro-Seal: Mount Vernon Motel 6

This Motel 6 in Mount Vernon, IL, faced the challenge of protecting its stucco and concrete surfaces from the damaging effects of water, weather, and environmental exposure. With constant wear from rain, freeze-thaw cycles, and potential efflorescence buildup, the motel needed a reliable solution to maintain the integrity and appearance of its exterior. That’s where Micro-Seal came in.

Micro-Seal, a water-based silane/siloxane water repellent, was chosen as the ideal product to safeguard the motel’s surfaces and acts as a primer before painting the stucco its final color. Its advanced formula creates a breathable barrier that prevents water from penetrating the stucco and concrete while allowing moisture to escape. This feature is critical for painted surfaces, as trapped moisture can lead to bubbling, cracking, and peeling paint. By applying Micro-Seal, Motel 6 ensured its exterior remains durable and visually appealing.

The motel’s location also subjected its surfaces to harsh weather and fluctuating temperatures. Micro-Seal offers exceptional protection against freeze-thaw damage, efflorescence, and mold or mildew growth—common issues for structures exposed to moisture. Additionally, its non-yellowing, eco-friendly formula preserved the natural look and color of the painted stucco and concrete without altering their appearance.

For Motel 6, Micro-Seal wasn’t just a solution—it was a long-term investment in maintaining the property’s curb appeal and reducing costly maintenance needs. By creating a durable and invisible protective barrier, Micro-Seal ensures the motel remains welcoming and protected for years to come, providing guests with a safe and visually pleasing stay.

This project highlights the power of Micro-Seal to deliver reliable, long-lasting protection for commercial properties like Motel 6, where surface maintenance is key to maintaining a professional image and structural integrity.
