Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Masonry Protection Cream is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a long-term weatherproofing solution for external walls, including brick, stone, and render. By preventing moisture ingress while maintaining breathability, it helps maintain a warmer and more thermally efficient property; however, users must ensure the substrate is clean and dry before application, as surface preparation is critical for proper adhesion and performance.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on painted walls?

This product is designed for porous masonry surfaces like brick, stone, and render; it is not recommended for application over existing paint or non-porous coatings.

How long does the protection last?

The cream provides a long-lasting, durable barrier, though exact longevity depends on local weather conditions and the porosity of the masonry.

Is the finish shiny or matte?

The formula is designed to be invisible, meaning it should not significantly alter the sheen or appearance of the original surface once cured.

What tools should I use for application?

A standard masonry brush or a medium-pile paint roller is typically suitable for applying the cream to vertical surfaces.

Will it prevent rising damp?

This product is designed for protecting walls against wind-driven rain. It is not a solution for rising damp, which usually requires a damp-proof course.

Troubleshooting

The cream is not absorbing into the surface

Check that the surface is clean and free from old paint or sealants that might block penetration.

Streaking or uneven finish

Ensure the product is applied evenly across the surface and check for excessive build-up in porous areas.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects walls from moisture ingress
  • Maintains structural breathability
  • Preserves original aesthetics with an invisible finish
  • Helps improve thermal efficiency

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation
  • Not suitable for use on wet or saturated surfaces
  • Needs specific temperature conditions for optimal curing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose debris, algae, or moss. Apply the cream using a brush or a roller in a single, thorough coat. Ensure ambient temperatures are suitable for exterior coating, generally avoiding freezing conditions or high humidity. Once applied, the product does not require ongoing maintenance, though a periodic inspection of wall integrity is recommended to ensure no new cracks have formed that might bypass the treatment.
