Product Information

Full details

The B&Q Masonry Protection Cream is designed for homeowners and contractors looking to improve the weatherproofing and thermal performance of external wall surfaces like brick, stone, and render. This cream acts as a breathable barrier that keeps moisture out while allowing water vapor to escape, ultimately contributing to a drier and more energy-efficient building envelope. The main caveat is that it requires a clean, dry surface for optimal adhesion and penetration, meaning it is not suitable for damp or loose masonry without prior preparation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be applied over existing paint?

No, this product is designed for porous masonry surfaces and will not properly penetrate or bond to painted walls.

How long does the protection last?

While durability depends on environmental factors, the formula is designed for long-term weatherproofing, often providing protection for many years.

Is it safe to use on historic stone?

It is generally safe for many stone types, but you should always conduct a patch test on a small, inconspicuous area first to check for any aesthetic changes.

Can I apply this if rain is forecast?

It is not recommended. The masonry must remain dry for at least 24 hours after application for the cream to cure and penetrate correctly.

Does this cream change the look of my walls?

Once dry, the cream is designed to be invisible on most masonry, keeping the natural texture and appearance of your wall intact.

Troubleshooting

White residue appearing after application

This is often due to over-application. Ensure the cream is spread thinly and evenly across the surface.

Water is still soaking into the wall

The product may have been applied to a surface that was too damp, or the application rate was too low. Check surface conditions and re-apply according to the manual.

Application is difficult to spread

Ensure the temperature is within the recommended 5°C to 30°C range and that the tools used are clean and appropriate for high-viscosity materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves weather resistance of exterior walls
  • Breathable nature prevents internal condensation issues
  • Helps improve the building's overall thermal efficiency
  • Reduces potential for frost damage and salt efflorescence
  • Cream consistency makes application easier and cleaner

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for effective bonding
  • Not intended for use on non-porous or painted surfaces
  • May alter the visual appearance of some natural stone types
  • Performance is dependent on correct coverage rates

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the cream, the masonry surface must be structurally sound and completely dry. Any cracks or gaps in the mortar should be repaired prior to application. Ensure that the cream is applied consistently to achieve the manufacturer's recommended coverage rate. Once applied, the surface should be protected from rainfall for at least 24 hours to allow the cream to fully penetrate and react with the substrate. No special maintenance is required post-application, as the product is designed to remain effective without needing frequent re-coating.
