Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this on painted walls?

No, HydroLock is designed for porous masonry and will not penetrate or work correctly on painted or previously sealed surfaces.

How long does the protection last?

The product is designed for long-term protection, though efficacy can vary based on the porosity of the material and local weather conditions.

Does it change the color of the wall?

No, once fully cured, the cream is invisible and will not alter the natural color or texture of the masonry.

Is it safe for historic buildings?

Yes, because the product is breathable, it is generally suitable for traditional masonry where moisture movement is important for building health.

How should I clean the wall before application?

Remove all dust, dirt, loose mortar, and biological growth like moss or algae using a stiff brush or a low-pressure wash, then allow it to dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Cream is not absorbing into the surface

Check if the masonry has been previously treated with a water repellent or paint; the cream only works on porous, untreated surfaces.

White residue appearing after application

This may indicate the cream was applied too thickly or in cold conditions; use a stiff brush to remove the excess once the product is dry.

Poor weatherproofing results

Ensure the surface was completely dry before application and that the ambient temperature was within the manufacturer's recommended range.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves wall thermal insulation
  • Maintains original building appearance
  • Allows walls to breathe, preventing damp trapping
  • Easy to apply to various masonry types
  • Helps prevent frost damage and efflorescence

Cons

  • Requires dry weather for effective application
  • Surface must be thoroughly cleaned before use
  • Not suitable for non-porous or previously sealed surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure that the surface is completely dry and free from any algae or loose material before starting application. Apply the cream evenly using a brush or roller until the surface is saturated. It is essential to avoid applying the product if rain is forecast within 24 hours of application to ensure the cream bonds correctly with the masonry pores. For storage, keep the container tightly closed in a cool, frost-free location to maintain the formula's integrity for future maintenance or touch-ups.
