Product Information

Full details

The Siramico Coatings Masonry & Render Sealer is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking to protect porous building exteriors from water damage and organic growth. Its key benefit is providing deep, breathable waterproofing without altering the surface's natural appearance, making it ideal for both modern and historic properties. A minor caveat is that highly porous surfaces might benefit from a second application for optimal protection. This advanced, water-based formula penetrates deeply to repel rainwater, reduce damp issues, staining, and prevent algae or mould growth, all while maintaining the material's breathability.

FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The duration of protection depends on environmental exposure, but typically lasts for several years. Periodic inspection is recommended to assess performance.

Can I paint over the treated surface?

Yes, the sealer is designed to be over-paintable with most common masonry paints once fully cured. However, always test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first.

What is the coverage rate?

The coverage rate is approximately 30m² per 5 litres, but this can vary significantly depending on the porosity and texture of the surface being treated.

Is this product suitable for interior use?

While the product is low VOC and low odour, it is primarily designed for exterior masonry and renders. Interior use is not recommended without specific assessment of ventilation and substrate.

How do I clean my application tools?

Tools should be cleaned immediately after use with water and mild detergent.

Will this sealer change the color of my render?

No, the sealer dries to a completely invisible, natural matt finish and will not change the original colour or appearance of the substrate.

Can I apply this in cold weather?

It is best to apply the sealer when temperatures are between 5°C and 30°C. Avoid application during frost, heavy rain, or when frost is expected.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or lap marks visible after drying

This can occur if the product was applied too heavily, too thinly, or not worked into a wet edge. Ensure even application with a sprayer or roller and maintain a wet edge during application. For future applications, adjust technique or product dilution if necessary.

Water still penetrating the surface

The surface may be exceptionally porous or require a second coat. Check if a light second application was performed on highly porous areas as per instructions. Ensure full coverage and consider if the substrate is appropriate for this type of sealer.

Product appears cloudy or leaves a slight sheen

This is not the intended finish. It may be due to over-application, application in incorrect temperatures, or rain washing over the surface before it fully cured. Ensure application conditions are suitable (refer to product data sheet for temperature ranges) and allow adequate drying time.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Maintains the original aesthetic of surfaces with an invisible, natural matt finish.
  • Offers excellent deep penetration and breathable waterproofing.
  • Reduces maintenance by preventing damp, dirt, and organic growth.
  • Suitable for sensitive heritage buildings where breathability is crucial.
  • Easy to apply with standard tools, requiring minimal effort.

Cons

  • May require a second coat on highly porous substrates for maximum efficacy.
  • Coverage can vary significantly based on the porosity of the surface.
  • Not designed to fill cracks or gaps, only to treat the surface material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, moss, or loose paint. Any existing treatments should be removed if they are film-forming. For new renders, allow them to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Application: Apply using a low-pressure pump sprayer or a masonry roller. Work in manageable sections, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. For most surfaces, a single, even coat is sufficient. On highly porous substrates, a second light coat can be applied after 30-60 minutes, ensuring the first coat has not fully cured.

Compatibility: Suitable for K-Rend, silicone and monocouche renders, traditional sand and cement, brickwork, concrete, natural stone (sandstone, limestone, granite), slate, flint, and lime pointing.

Care: Once applied and dry, the treated surface requires minimal maintenance. Occasional cleaning with water or a mild detergent should be sufficient to remove surface dirt. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washing, which could damage the substrate itself.
