One of the key factors affecting the final perception of a building is its facade. Its aesthetics is influenced not only by the type of material used, but also by the color scheme chosen or additional decorative elements.

However, in addition to an attractive appearance, a facade should be characterized by durability and resistance to dirt or adverse weather conditions. You can find modern products for creating an attractive facade with excellent functional properties in Weber's product range.
Weberpas silicon AquaBalance -
a plaster that is resistant to growth and dirt
The facade is not only a showpiece of the building, but also its first line of defense against changing weather conditions. Choosing the right plaster is therefore crucial to ensure the durability and aesthetics of the facade. Due to their structure, plaster is not perfectly smooth, so water can evaporate from it more difficult, and this can consequently promote the growth of microorganisms.
The answer to this challenge is Weber' s weberpas silicon AquaBalance hydrophilic plaster, which, through the use of modern technology, levels the absorption of water by the facade - the water droplets on the hydrophilic plaster are "flattened", so the evaporation surface increases and the walls dry faster than with traditional plasters. Thus, the building remains effectively protected from the negative effects of rain, dew and fog, which reduces the risk of fungal, algal or mold growth. In turn, the addition of silicone ensures that the facade does not attract dust, dirt and other contaminants that are present in the air.
Weberpas silicon AquaBalance is the only solution of its kind on the market, for which the manufacturer provides as much as a 10-year guarantee for the plaster not to grow (provided that elevation inspections are carried out). It is also worth noting that thanks to the use of specially selected aggregates and the highest quality silicone resin, the product is resistant to mechanical damage, dirt and thermal stresses associated with direct exposure to frost and sunlight.
Weberpas silicon AquaBalance is available in more than 350 colors and in the most popular textures "lamb" 1.0 mm; 1.5 mm and 2.0 mm, and can be used on various insulation materials: mineral wool, white and graphite polystyrene, as well as on rezol boards.

Weber.pas stone mosaic plaster - an
An attractive imitation of natural stone
A popular facade solution that investors often opt for are mosaic plasters, whose structure resembles natural stone. This modern decorative solution is not only aesthetically pleasing, but also extremely durable, resistant to damage and allows you to emphasize the details of the facade, such as plinths and other architectural elements - cornices, eaves or pilasters. Due to their high aesthetics and durability, these plasters are also readily used to finish concrete pillars, fences, walls or even facades of historical buildings, giving them an attractive character.
An example of such a product is weber.pas stone - a modern, ready-to-use thin-layer mosaic plaster containing fine colored quartz or marble aggregate combined with silicone-acrylic resin. The aesthetics of the facade is not the only advantage of this product. Other advantages are its high resistance to weather conditions and the growth of fungi and mold. The plaster is available in different color variants, among which we can find popular shades of gray inspired by the appearance of hematite, which, thanks to the use of additives in the form of mica, allow you to get the effect of natural light reflections on the facade.

Weberpan RYFL - durable panels
imitating laths or giving a corrugated effect on the facade
In recent years, riffles have been a popular decorative element used in facade finishing. The solution is an interesting alternative to the popular lamellas made of wood or MDF - they are not only more resistant to weather conditions, but also to possible damage. An example of a product that successfully imitates the appearance of narrow wooden slats is the ready-made weberpan RYFL panel. It is made of acrylic resin-based plastic and reinforced with fiberglass mesh. The panel is flexible and lightweight, and at the same time exhibits high hardness and mechanical strength.
The texture of the panel is distinguished by low absorption, so it remains resistant to weathering. The product comes in two patterns that differ in the width of the grooves (11 x 11 mm, 21 x 22 mm) and in the base version is available in a cream-gray shade. To achieve the final desired effect, the panel can be painted in any color with weber FZ391 silicone paint or weber.ton lazur stain in wood colors. The application of the panel is very simple - after cutting it to any size, we fix it with weberpan FLEX adhesive on the vertical wall. The flexibility of the panel also allows it to be placed on walls with irregular cross-sections (concave or convex arches, curves). With its help we can easily make an aesthetic cladding imitating a fluted wall in any color.
