Masonry Waterproofing Cream (5 Litre) 25 Year BBA & EST Approved Exterior Brick Sealer. Breathable, Colourless Brick, Concrete, Stone, Mortar, Sandstone & Granite Waterproofer

I recently applied Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream to my home’s exterior sand stone walls, and the results have been outstanding. The cream’s thick consistency made application straightforward, adhering well without dripping. After curing, water beads off the surface, indicating effective water repellency.  One of the standout features is its breathability; it prevents water ingress while allowing moisture within the walls to escape, reducing the risk of damp-related issues. Additionally, the product is BBA-approved, offering peace of mind regarding its durability and performance.  A slight darkening of the brick was noticeable immediately after application, but this faded over time, returning the bricks to their original appearance. It’s worth noting that proper surface preparation is crucial; cleaning the masonry beforehand ensures optimal absorption and effectiveness.  Overall, Stormdry has exceeded my expectations, providing a reliable and long-term solution to protect my home from penetrating damp.

I have a house with an external free-standing stairs constructed in concrete with steel reinforcement. On each side of the stairs is a white moulded balustrade made from reinforced cement coated with plaster. Over the years, damp has got into the moulding and the joints in the handrail and base, damaging the structure of the stairs. I contacted Safeguard to see if their Stormdry Masonry Cream would be a suitable product to seal the balustrade. Safeguard were extremely helpful, sent me samples and followed up by email. First I tested a sample on the balustrade to ensure it didn’t change the colour. It did not change the colour – it is as white as ever! So I ordered a 3 litre tub of Stormdry. The instructions on the tub were very clear, and advised that any cracks over 0.3mm must be filled prior to application. I filled the cracks with waterproof mastic then cleaned the entire balustrade with a soft copper-wire brush. Finally I painted on the Stormdry Masonry Cream. The painting was easy with no mess – but the instructions advised to avoid getting it onto paintwork or glass. It didn’t change the colour, it’s still beautifully white, even after a month. The balustrade looks better than new, and now it’s sealed. About a month later we had a really heavy downpour. The water just formed droplets on the balustrade, so obviously did not penetrate it. The lower walls to the stairs looks perfect. The underside of the stairs - the real problem - looks perfect too. I am now using this Protection Cream on the rest of my balustrades where I know I have damp penetration Safeguard technical support gave me very good support and reassurance. Great company and excellent product.

I needed to cover an outside wall that appeared to be letting damp in and then leaking into my garage the other side. The quality of this appears to good and there is noticeable less damp, so the leak prevention appears to be working. I wish it was cheaper, but it could be a lot worse. I recommend trying it if you have damp issues for outside walls.

Very impressed so far. Only time will tell long-term. Had a new gable end wall built for my loft conversion. Brand new expensive bricks to match the originals on my 80 year-old house. Then 6 months later we have the wettest winter for 200 years with winds from the south constantly soaking the wall. With no time for the bricks to dry out between the rainy days, they eventually absorbed the water all the way through and with no cavity wall for the water to drain into, the rain appeared on the inside of my house and dripped from the lintel above the window. The new bricks look nice but are clearly not a match for the 80 year-old originals when it comes to waterproofing. (How can brick companies sell bricks that are this absorbent?) Anyway, having done plenty of investigation on-line, I opted for Stormdry as the solution to the problem. I hoped the old maxim that you "get what you pay for" was true in this case as it is not the cheapest product around but we wanted an effective and long-lasting solution as I don't want to be having to put scaffolding up every few years to reapply a waterproofer. It went on very easily. We did it by brush to get into the nooks and crannies. You can certainly see where you have been and true to the instruction leaflet, the Stormdry was absorbed into the wall and the bricks returned to their original appearance after a day or so. About three weeks after applying, we hadn't had much rain so we soaked the wall by hose before the scaffolding came down, just to see how the wall would react. The water beaded and ran off the surface of the bricks. A couple of hours later the wall was dry to the touch which certainly would not have been the case before. It looks very impressive and l am hopeful that this will solve the problem long-term. Hosing the wall for half an hour is not exactly the same as the constant drenching the wall got during December 2013 but it gave us an idea of the effectiveness. Based on the quoted figures for coverage of the product, I bought too much rather than too little. Our bricks were so absorbent that they took twice as much as the stated amount (and I am convinced they would have taken even more if we had had more to apply). So I am hoping that the depth of effective waterproofing in my bricks is therefore also twice as much as it would have been. I recommend this product.

Dekt goed

Increíble producto,heche éste producto en una segunda vivienda en el campo en la cual tenía algunas humedades,heche el producto por el esterior he interior donde tenía las humedades y después de haber pasado un Año,no han vuelto a salir las humedades.estoy muy contento con el producto.

J'avais des infiltrations a travers un mur de façade et ce produit a stoppé toute rentrée d'eau! Une seule application et je n'ai plus jamais eu de problème! (Depuis novembre 2024). Très satisfait du résultat et aucune différence de teinte sur ma façade.

Product werd verwerkt met borstel Silverline 15 cm. Product laat geen vlekken na op de gevel . De regendruppels dringen niet meer in de baksteen. Product is vrij prijzig maar doet wat het belooft.

Tolles Material (wie Puddig 😄). Lässt sich super verarbeiten. Habe es in einen Rolleneimer umgefüllt, ist einfach ohne Rückstände im Origenaleimer in den Rolleneimer herübergeplumps. Wurde von der Fassadenfarbrollle gut aufgenommen und ließ sich super auf die Wand aufbringen. Jetzt warten wir auf den nächsten Starkregen, ob dann die Wand keine Feuchtigkeit mehr aufnimmt und das tröpfeln über dem Fenster aus dem Fenstersturz aufhört. 🍀 UPDATE: Die Creme hält was sei verspricht, es hat mehrfach teils stark geregnet und dass Wasser perlt einfach ab. Es dringt keine Feuchtigkeit mehr ein und das Tröpfeln aus dem Fensresturz hat auch aufgehört. Super Produkt, sehr zu empfehlen! UPDATE2: Jetzt ist der Ansrich 1 Jahr auf der Wand und alles ist weiterhin dicht, und auch Starkregen perlt weiterhin ab. 👍🏻
