Belzona Facts
The Belzona solution was chosen as the best way to effect very quick, simple repairs that could be done all at once without the need for formers to be left in place. The ability of Belzona to protect and resist further spalling was also a prime consideration of the client. Alternative was the use of traditional sand/cement mortars that would have looked poor, lacked performance and would have required a much wider time frame to complete. This scheme saw 20 lintels of around 2 metres each completed in under just three days.
