Anna Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Hi Our concrete balustrades are not looking good! They have a rust colour showing through and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if there is anyway we can make them look good again? Many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Théière Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Anna, a picture may help, where do you think the iron staining has come from, possibly the framework internally? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi Thanks for your reply. Yes, looks like it probably is coming from the inside out, so could be from the framework. I've taken a photo but my daughter in Oz has just confirmed that I've left my camera lead there so she is going to post it off asap. As soon as I receive it, I'll post a photo!

NickP Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I would wire brush the rust marks to remove surface stains, apply a concrete sealer to the balustrades, then a good quality exterior wall paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
