The Smartseal Brick Sealer is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to protect exterior and interior brick, cement, concrete, and facade surfaces from water damage, oil stains, and organic growth. Its key benefit is providing up to 10 years of long-lasting protection with a single coat, significantly reducing maintenance. A potential caveat is its specific application window after drying, requiring attention to weather conditions during use.

The Smartseal Brick Sealer provides long-lasting protection for up to 10 years.
No, this sealer is designed for porous mineral substrates and is not suitable for painted surfaces.
It can be used on various porous surfaces including brickwork, cement, concrete, stone, and facades, both indoors and outdoors.
Only a single coat application is required for effective protection.
The sealer dries to the touch in 2-3 hours and becomes water-resistant within 24 hours.
Yes, it features a premium-grade, solvent-free formulation, making it safer to use.
The approximate coverage is 5m² per litre, but this can vary depending on the porosity of the surface.
Ensure the product was applied evenly and that the surface was uniformly porous and absorbent. Over-application or inadequate coverage can lead to patchiness. Consider a light mist coat if necessary, ensuring even distribution.
Verify that the surface was completely dry before application and that the sealer had adequate time to cure (at least 24 hours of dry weather). The surface may also be too porous for a single coat, or the product may have reached its lifespan if applied many years ago.
This can sometimes be efflorescence or a residue from improper cleaning before application. Ensure the surface was thoroughly rinsed and dried. If the issue persists, it might require specialized cleaning methods for efflorescence.
Ensure the temperature is within the recommended range (typically above 5°C). If the product is too thick, a very small amount of appropriate thinner might be considered if recommended by the manufacturer for specific conditions, but usually, it should be applied as is. Check for blockages in sprayers or ensure brushes/rollers are suitable.
Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, dirt, grease, and previous coatings. Porous surfaces may require cleaning and rinsing, allowing ample time for drying.
Application:
Compatibility: The sealer is designed for porous mineral substrates including brickwork, concrete, stone, cementitious render, and unglazed tiles. It is not suitable for non-porous surfaces like glazed tiles or painted surfaces.
Drying & Curing: The product is touch-dry in 2-3 hours and becomes water-resistant within 24 hours. Allow at least 24 hours of dry weather for application and curing.
Care: Once sealed, surfaces are easier to clean. Typically, a simple wash with water is sufficient. For stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent and a brush, rinsing thoroughly afterwards. Reapplication is generally not needed for up to 10 years.
