Masonry, brick and stone
Masonry protection
Nanoxeal is a water-based repellent for brick, stone and masonry. It reduces how much water the wall absorbs while staying breathable, so it does not trap moisture inside the material.
What damages masonry
- ·Efflorescence: white salt deposits on the surface
- ·Freeze spalling when water gets in and then freezes
- ·Stains and soiling
- ·Mortar joints that crumble with moisture
What Nanoxeal does
- ✓Water-repellent: reduces the water absorbed by brick and mortar
- ✓Breathable: lets water vapor escape from the wall
- ✓UV and weather resistance
- ✓Discreet, water-based finish
Frequently asked questions
- Can the wall still breathe?
- Yes. Repelling liquid water and letting vapor through are two separate properties. This class of repellents lines the pores without blocking them, so water beads up while vapor escapes.
- Does it protect against efflorescence?
- By reducing water penetration, it limits the salt transport that causes efflorescence. The result depends on the condition of the wall and the conditions.
- Does it change the look of the brick?
- The goal is a discreet finish. Always test a small, low-visibility area before treating the whole surface.
The coverage (1,000 to 1,200 sq ft per 19 L pail, two coats) and the protection duration (up to 15 years) are the manufacturer specification, not independent lab results. Always test a small area before treating the whole surface.
