Description
Essential Brick Waterproofer is formulated with synthetic resins to seal and protect brick surfaces. This high-performance, deeply penetrating masonry cream offers excellent water repellency, forming a strong barrier against damp penetration lasting up to 20 years. It is more effective and longer-lasting than typical waterproof paints and coatings available in DIY stores, making it ideal for brickwork, stonework, and most unprotected masonry while retaining the original "dry" appearance of the substrate.

How to Apply:
- Preparation: Remove any loose debris from the work surface and ensure adequate safety wear, including gloves, protective eyewear, face mask, and suitable clothing.
- Test Application: Perform a small test application in an inconspicuous area to check the suitability and effectiveness of the product.
