We put the
finishing touches on
Frank Lloyd Wright's
masterpiece.
Despite the concerned and diligent
efforts of the Western Pennsylvania
Conservancy, decades of intense
weathering and constant exposure to
water had taken a heavy toll on Frank
Lloyd Wright's famous" Fallingwater':
A five-year-old coat of paint was
blistered and peeling, and much of the
concrete was pitted and spalled.
Because of its artistic and historic value, restoration architects Curry, Martin and Highberger
took the absolute strongest corrective and protective measures possible. They specified that
Thoro System Products be used throughout.
After sandblasting, contractors Mariani and Richards
brought the surface back to its original form with Thorite, a
non-slumping, quick-setting patching material (mixed with
Acryl 60 for enhanced bonding and curing).
Then the entire home was covered with Thoroseal.
Thoroseal is harder and more wear-resistant than concrete,
100% waterproof, and bonds so tenaciously that it
becomes an actual part of the
wall. Permanently locking
out moisture and dampness.
To match the original
architects' color spc<.:ifka
tion, a coat of Thoroshccn
masonry paint was applied
over the Thoroscal.
An ounce of prevention and a pound of cure.
We're Thoro System Products, and when ii l'<>mes lo
restoring or protecting an
architect's de-,igns in
masonry and concrete,
we've been doing it better
and more often than
anybody else for over 65
years.
