FAQs

How long does the protection last?

The SmartSeal Masonry Protection Cream offers long-lasting waterproofing for up to 25 years.

Can I paint over the treated surface?

This product is designed to maintain the natural appearance of the masonry. Painting over it is not recommended and may affect performance. Always test compatibility if you intend to paint.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage is approximately 5m² per litre on standard brickwork. On denser materials like stone or concrete, coverage can increase to approximately 10m² per litre.

How should I apply the cream?

Apply using a roller or paintbrush in a single, heavy application. Ensure even coverage at the recommended rate.

Do I need to treat the entire wall at once?

While applying in manageable sections is practical, ensure each section is completed without interruption to maintain an even finish. It is best to treat complete walls or sections.

What surfaces is this product suitable for?

It is suitable for masonry and brickwork. Always perform a test application first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

How do I prepare the surface before application?

The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, and any loose material or previous coatings before application.

Troubleshooting

Cream appears to be altering the surface appearance significantly.

This is why a test application is recommended. If the appearance change is undesirable, do not proceed with full application. Consider alternative products.

Water is still penetrating the treated surface.

Ensure the application was heavy enough and applied at the correct coverage rate (5m²/litre for standard brick). Check for any missed spots or areas where the product may have been applied too thinly. Reapplication may be necessary.

Product is difficult to spread evenly.

Ensure you are using the correct application tool (roller or brush). Apply in manageable sections and work consistently to achieve an even coat. Do not attempt to thin the product.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers durable, long-term protection against water ingress.
  • Helps preserve the aesthetic of brickwork and masonry.
  • Easy to apply with common tools.
  • Prevents common issues like frost damage and efflorescence.

Cons

  • Requires a test patch to confirm suitability and appearance.
  • Coverage can vary significantly based on material porosity.
  • Application is a single-stage process, best applied heavily.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the masonry or brickwork surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris or previous coatings. For best results, apply during dry weather conditions.

Application: This product is designed for direct application. Use a roller or paintbrush to apply a single, heavy coat at the recommended coverage rate. For standard brickwork, this is approximately 5m² per litre. For denser materials, coverage can be up to 10m² per litre. Avoid over-thinning or applying too thinly.

Compatibility: While designed for masonry and brickwork, it is crucial to perform a test application in an inconspicuous area first. This confirms compatibility and ensures the desired aesthetic is maintained. It is not recommended for use on painted surfaces or pre-sealed materials.

Care: Once applied and cured, the treated surface requires minimal special care. Regular cleaning of the exterior will not affect the protective cream. Reapplication is generally not needed for up to 25 years.
