1. Dry — Smart·Geo Box®
Treats rising damp without drilling or building work. Discreet and self-powered, it lets the wall dry out while respecting the building.
Churches, chapels, castles, museums and listed buildings demand non-destructive solutions that are compatible with conservation. Geo Portugal brings together the best of two technologies: Smart·Geo Box® and the Remmers range.
Churches, chapels, monasteries, manor houses, castles, museums and wine cellars were built in stone and masonry, without any capillary break. As a result, water from the ground rises up the walls and concentrates at the base, bringing salt efflorescence (saltpetre), salt crystals, mould and the decay of renders, frescoes and stonework.
In these buildings, invasive treatments — drilling, resin injection or blast cleaning — can cause irreversible damage to the stone and the decorative work. Conservation demands non-destructive and reversible methods that are compatible with the requirements of listed-heritage restoration in Portugal.
Geo Portugal brings together three complementary solutions — drying rising damp with Smart·Geo Box®, cleaning façades with the Remmers Arte Mundit peel-off paste and protecting the stone with the Funcosil FC water repellent — to bring the building back to life without harming it.
A complete approach that respects the stone, the vaults and the decorative work — without harming the old building.

Once the wall has been dried, cleaned and protected, the Isoltech Green system corrects the façade's thermal performance with a 100% natural thermo-active mineral render (Pro-Tech®), applied without panels and in a thin coat, with a Techdekor Green finish.
It is the ideal solution for heritage: it insulates without covering the façade with boards, preserving the stone, the reliefs and the architectural reading of the building. With a strong presence in Portugal.
Old buildings — in stone, without any capillary break — cope poorly with invasive treatments. These solutions respect the building and the requirements of conservation.
No drilling, cutting or injection into the stone and the stonework.
Dry cleaning that preserves frescoes, plasterwork and fragile surfaces.
Water-repellent protection that maintains the wall's vapour diffusion.
Solutions that are invisible to the visitor and compatible with listed buildings.
The restoration range brings together the best of three solutions: the Smart·Geo Box® technology for the non-destructive drying of walls, the partnership with Remmers (a leading German manufacturer in heritage conservation and restoration) to clean and protect, and the Isoltech Green system — panel-free façade thermal correction, with a strong presence in Portugal.
Smart·Geo Box® treats capillary rise in a non-destructive way — without drilling, without resin injection and without chemicals in the wall. That makes it suitable for churches, chapels and listed buildings, where preserving the stone and the renders is essential.
Yes. The Remmers Arte Mundit peel-off paste cleans dry: it is applied, dries and is then removed as a film, taking the dirt with it — without water, without solvents and without abrasion. Ideal for stone, marble, plasterwork and sculptures.
No. Funcosil FC is a water-repellent cream that repels rainwater but lets the wall breathe (vapour diffusion), without forming a film or altering the natural appearance of the material.
Yes. All the solutions are non-destructive and discreet, respecting heritage conservation requirements — without drilling, without aggressive water and invisible to the visitor.
