To kick things off, give your brick a good scrub with a thorough pressure wash, ensuring it’s bone dry before moving on to the next step.
Now comes the fun part—choosing your sealant adventure! You’ve got three options: paint, surface sealers, and penetrating sealers. Paint is the budget-friendly choice, but it masks the natural charm of your brick. Plus, it requires regular touch-ups like any exterior paint job.
Surface sealers step up the game with a clear finish that lasts longer and demands less upkeep than paint. They sit atop the brick, providing a shield without diving into its pores.
For the gold standard in brick protection, look no further than penetrating sealers. Yes, they’re a bit pricier, but they penetrate deep into the brick’s pores, offering unmatched durability and longevity—up to 30 years! Just be sure to pick a brand that lets your brick breathe, or you might end up with a moisture mess on your hands.
High-quality brick waterproofing systems can last several years depending on surface condition, product type, and environmental exposure. Proper preparation and professional application significantly extend performance and reduce the need for frequent reapplication.
Most commercial-grade waterproofing products are designed to be breathable and clear, preserving the natural appearance of the brick. In some cases, slight darkening may occur during application but typically dries to a natural finish.
