at the same time, <strong>it is non-film-forming<\/strong>, and therefore <strong>does not alter the breathability<\/strong> or<strong>aesthetic appearance<\/strong> of treated surfaces. Its specific <strong>hydrophobic action<\/strong> also <strong>prevents <\/strong>the outcropping of<strong> efflorescence, mosses, algae, lichens, and bacteria<\/strong>, which, like water, can generate<strong> deterioration <\/strong>phenomena on<strong> balconies<\/strong> and<strong> terraces<\/strong>, in addition to negatively affecting the healthiness of buildings.  The effectiveness of its <strong>protective action<\/strong> also extends to the phenomena of natural <strong>aging and crumbling<\/strong> due to <strong>freeze-thaw cycles<\/strong>, as well as to the penetration of <strong>aggressive and saline agents<\/strong>, thus proving suitable for use even in marine areas; thanks to its <strong>low dirt grip<\/strong>, moreover, <strong>SKERMO TERRAZZE<\/strong> prevents dust, soot and atmospheric pollution in general from attaching to the treated surfaces.<br \/>\nFrom the application point of view,<strong> SKERMO TERRAZZE <\/strong>also offers numerous advantages. <strong>Installation preparation<\/strong> operations are very simple, involving only <strong>thorough cleaning of the substrate<\/strong> to remove possible friable parts and substances that could compromise setting, and preventive<strong> grouting <\/strong>of any <strong>damaged joints<\/strong> with a special product such as <strong>WINSTUCCO FLEX<\/strong>. The application, which must take place on a <strong>dry or slightly damp surface<\/strong>, can be done with a roller or brush, requiring as the only precaution a thorough impregnation of the joints. About 15 minutes after application, any traces of excess product can be removed with a clean cloth, and about 18 hours after treatment the surface can <strong>be walked on<\/strong> again.    Product yield on tiled surfaces is about 15 square meters per liter;<strong> waterproofing effectiveness is guaranteed <\/strong>for a period of ten years.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/testingziken.coinacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/skermo-terrazze-winkler-applicazione-galleria.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;skermo-terraces-winkler-application-gallery&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/testingziken.coinacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/skermo-terrazze-winkler-galleria.webp&#8221; title_text=&#8221;skermo-terraces-winkler-gallery&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Skermo Terrazze\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EVwLPwRkkL4?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-luminous-vivid-orange-color has-text-color has-link-color\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQ\"><\/span>FAQ<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_have_to_remove_the_existing_flooring_to_stop_the_seepage\"><\/span>Do I have to remove the existing flooring to stop the seepage?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>No, innovative products such as Skermo Terraces are designed to be applied directly to existing flooring (ceramic, gr\u00e9s, cotto).
