Water repelling
masonry protection
Conservatories are under attack from Rain and Sun - Bricks and mortar are like
moisture reservoirs that fill during a rain event – they wick water into themselves because they are
porous. Properly built brickwork will give many years of trouble free service, but add an extension or
conservatory onto an exterior wall and there could be trouble ahead.
The problem is both rain and sun together can exacerbate the excessive moisture in walls
and cavities. Wind driven rain will track by capillary suction into dryer areas of brickwork.
Solar radiation heats saturated brickwork and will drive moisture vapour inward as well
as outwards. A higher vapour pressure and temperature differential forms
between the cavity and cool interior, drawing the moisture vapour,
which will then condense into liquid and present as damp spots
within the extension interior.
Proshield XT is a water repellent environmentally friendly
masonry treatment that is quick and easy to apply.
It penetrates to provide breathable, invisible protection from
damaging water ingress, maintaining masonry appearance
whilst reducing the risk of penetrating water damp and
mould within the interior of a building.
