FAQs

What surfaces can this brick sealer be used on?

This versatile sealer is suitable for brickwork, cement, walls, concrete, and facades. It can be used both indoors and outdoors.

How long does the protection last?

The sealer is engineered to provide long-lasting damp-proofing protection for an impressive duration of up to 10 years.

Is this product safe to use?

Yes, this brick sealer is a solvent-free solution, making it a safer option for users and the environment compared to solvent-based alternatives.

What is the coverage rate?

The average coverage is approximately 5m² per litre on most brickwork, and it can extend to 10m² per litre for stonework and specialist bricks.

How should I apply the sealer?

For optimal results, apply generously using a roller or sprayer to ensure complete saturation of the surface. A single coat is typically sufficient.

How long does it take to dry?

The sealer is touch dry in 2-3 hours and becomes water-resistant within 24 hours after application.

Can I paint over the sealer once applied?

While the sealer itself does not alter the appearance, it is generally recommended to test compatibility if you plan to paint over the treated surface. It is designed to protect the brick's natural appearance.

Troubleshooting

Sealer not penetrating the surface

Ensure the surface is porous and clean. The surface may be too dense or already sealed. Apply more generously to ensure saturation.

Uneven appearance after application

This can occur if the application was not uniform. For best results, apply evenly and ensure complete saturation. Some variations may self-correct over time as the product cures.

Surface still absorbing water after application

Ensure the product was applied liberally for full saturation. Reapplication may be necessary. Check if the curing time (24 hours for water resistance) has passed.

White residue or 'blooming' on the surface

This can sometimes happen with impregnating sealers. It may be a sign of over-application or application in damp conditions. Allow more time for curing, and in persistent cases, gentle cleaning might be required once fully cured.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent, long-lasting waterproofing for brick and masonry.
  • Solvent-free formula is safer and environmentally friendlier.
  • Repels water, stains, and inhibits algae and lichen growth.
  • Suitable for both interior and exterior applications on various surfaces.
  • Quick drying time minimizes disruption.
  • Reduces future cleaning costs and potential deterioration.

Cons

  • Requires generous application for complete saturation to achieve optimal results.
  • Coverage rates can vary significantly based on the porosity and type of brick/stone.
  • Product is a liquid and requires careful application to avoid overspray.
  • The 6-month guarantee is relatively short for a product offering 10 years of protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the surface to be treated is clean, dry, and free from any dust, dirt, or loose material. Use a stiff brush or pressure washer if necessary for cleaning. Allow the surface to dry completely before application. For optimal results, apply generously using a roller or sprayer, ensuring complete saturation of the brickwork. A single coat is typically sufficient.

Compatibility:

This sealer is suitable for use on most types of brickwork, cement, walls, concrete, and facades. It can be used for both interior and exterior applications.

Care:

Once applied and cured, the treated surface requires minimal care. Regular rinsing with water can help maintain its appearance. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could degrade the sealer's protective properties. The sealer is designed to be long-lasting, with a 10-year protective lifespan.
