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

Product Information

Ease of application– We found Stormdry very easy to apply; it was like mayonnaise and adhered to the brush and wall very well and didn’t drip much. We first brushed off any loose dust and then applied the cream using narrow brushes around the window frames and wider brushes on the rest of the wall. We see no reason why the user couldn’t use a roller, but we chose brushes so we could dab the cream into the small indentations and crevices on the wall. We agree. Stormdry was very easy to apply and we found it wasn’t nearly as messy as we thought it would be. We’ve previously tested liquid-based wall sealers that dripped everywhere and in our opinion, this cream-based alternative is easier to apply.

Water repellent creams & sealants for un-painted brickwork

Stormdry comes with a 25-year one-coat guarantee which means that unless something extraordinary occurs, your home will be protected for at least a quarter-century before re-applying the cream.

Stormdry only requires one coat, and we found that it was touch-dry after a few hours and water repellent after two days and largely water resistant after 28 days. So, if you are looking for a less expensive option, you can make your own masonry cream using the following components. This ensures that the interior is protected from severe weather and penetrating damp, but any residual moisture or water vapour is still able to escape. The walls are regularly soaked in rainwater, e.g. your home is located in an exposed and windswept location.Improving the thermal resistance of walls through the use of conventional insulation is not always practical – particularly where older buildings are concerned. Many homes and commercial properties in the UK are built using single-skin walls, making them unsuitable for cavity wall insulation. The installation of internal insulation can be disruptive and takes up valuable living space whilst externally applied insulation is often unattractive. It will leave behind a milky-white residue when wet. But once it dries, the color will clear away and blend into the wall naturally. Furthermore, the manufacturer asserts that Stormdry masonry cream is breathable, which allows moisture to escape from the wall and prevents any trapped moisture, such as condensation, from causing further damage.
