Brick sealing & weatherproofing
Water ingress through brickwork is one of the most common causes of damage to period properties — leading to damp, frost damage, efflorescence and accelerated mortar deterioration. A properly applied breathable sealant can dramatically reduce water absorption while allowing the brickwork to breathe naturally.
Unlike non-breathable sealants and masonry paints — which trap moisture and cause serious long-term damage — the breathable silane and siloxane-based treatments we use are fully compatible with lime mortar and historic brickwork. They are invisible in application, preserve the natural appearance of the brick, and provide long-lasting protection.
- Breathable silane/siloxane treatments — fully compatible with lime mortar
- Dramatically reduces water absorption without trapping moisture
- Invisible in application — preserves natural brick appearance
- Protects against frost damage, efflorescence and pollution
- Appropriate for period, listed and conservation area properties
