Masonry Protection Cream 25Yr+ Protection Highly Effective Brick and Stone Walls
Easy to Apply, Dry Finish. Protects from Water Ingress.Breathable Waterproof Formula.
Climashield Masonry Protection Cream is a VOC free, water based, protective treatment brick waterproofer, specially formulated to create strong waterproofing properties on brickwork, masonry and render. The deeply penetrating Masonry Cream is a very effective damp proofer and brick sealer that forms a strong barrier against penetrating damp.
- Highly-effective brick waterproofer
- Dry, "Invisible" Finish
- Leaves Walls Breathable
- Coverage ratio: 5 m² per litre is recommended on standard brickwork
- Can be painted over with a specialist silicate-based masonry paint (such as Seciltek & Earthborn paints) once the Masonry Cream has sufficiently cured (7 days recommended).
- Can be used on softwood,such as pine. Its penetration is not as good as on Masonry but it does work as a water repellent. Not recommended for hardwood, such as oak, teak & mahogany.
- The substrate must be dry prior to application, otherwise this will present a barrier to the Masonry Cream soaking into the surface.
- Minimum application temperature: 10°C
- The waterproofing masonry sealer will last up to 25 years
- NOT suitable for use over K Rend or Monocouche render systems
In a storm dry walls are essential if you want to avoid water ingress and long term damp. The Masonry Protection Cream provides long lasting protection from water penetration and the spread of damp in masonry and brickwork by filling the porous voids within the substrate without blocking them. This allows the masonry to release trapped moisture and to 'breathe', preventing moisture build up. This effective brick waterproofer can last up to 25 years and help to prevent the spread of penetrating damp.
Unlike waterproof paints and waterproof coatings that are available in DIY stores our protective cream is far more effective and lasts much longer. It will also retain the original dry appearance of the substrate so it is ideally suited for application to brickwork, stonework and most forms of unprotected masonry.
This highly effective damp proofing system will also provide a highly effective additional barrier to flooding as part of any existing flood protection system.
Dry damp proof walls will also increase the thermal efficiency of a property. This can produce energy savings from an average of 6% to as much as 29%, if used in conjunction with other green deal systems.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION:
Viscous masonry cream based on Advanced Silane/Siloxane chemistry.
COVERAGE:
For best results, one heavy application of ClimashieldTM Masonry Cream on standard brickwork at 5m² per litre is recommended. On dense, less absorbent brickwork or render, coverage of the brick waterproofer can be increased by up to 10m² per litre.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
The substrate must be dry prior to application, otherwise this will present a barrier to the Masonry Cream soaking into the surface. Minimum application temperature: 10°C. Store the product in a cool, dark place to prevent contamination by bacteria or fungal spores carried by air. Only open containers to remove the amount of product required and then close the lid once the product has been taken out. Once the containers have been opened, use up the complete contents as quickly as possible.
APPLICATION:
Can be applied by roller or paint brush. Due to its high viscosity, a simple, drip and run free application is possible. In general, only one heavy application is required. The cream will penetrate and absorb into the substrate within 30 minutes to several hours, depending on surface porosity. Once dry, the brickwork or masonry will be left with a dry/invisible finish.

Q: Our entire house is rendered, except for a portion (~15 square metres) that has been exposed after some building works. Exposed wall is a mixture of older bricks, and new blockwork. We're considering using your Masonry Protection Cream to protect this exposed area in the short term (it's on a wall exposed to driving rain) before winter. In the longer term, we would like to protect the wall by rendering the exposed area properly (we can't do this in the short term due to financial constraints). Question: Is it possible to first use your Masonry Protection Cream, and then later on render of the top of it, using either a preparatory product like weberend aid or an additive to the render such as SBR, to increase suction?
A: The masonry protection cream should be applied to unpainted or unsealed brickwork or masonry. Any primer or additive previously applied may inhibit the penetration of the masonry protection cream and lessen its effectiveness. If you want to test an area first, samples are available to purchase.
Q: Hi, we applied a coat of the masonry cream yesterday afternoon and then it rained through the night! Will it still work or will it have washed it away? Thanks
A: The masonry cream should will normally dry 2-4 hours after application, but it will not be fully cured for 24 hours so its effectiveness may have been diluted by the rain. If you are concerned, you could try applying another coat of the masonry protection cream and see if it absorbs into the brickwork or masonry.
Q: Have brought this and applied one coat. What is the ideal length of time for fully curing? Also, does using more than one coat after each curing period improve the effectiveness or will one coat be enough.
A: The masonry cream could take up to 7 days to fully cure but under average drying conditions it should be fully cured in 3-4 days. There is no need to apply an additional coat after the masonry protection cream has cure as one coat is sufficient.

Absolutely the best masonry cream I have used. Does not alter the original substrate whatsoever. Obviously not been able to confirm the 25 years protection but the elevations we applied it to show no signs of water absorption and have no complaints about further water ingress which was previously a common occurrence.
I applied the masonry cream product to the side of our house which is south facing and suffers from driving wind and rain. Although its early days we had a downpour overnight and the bricks are dry so looking good and working as it says. Excellent.
Been using the masonry cream for a few years now on jobs excellent product.Been back on jobs and still effective after years .Great service from Smartseal
