Weather-Chek Facade Cream 5L

Weather-Chek Facade Cream is a simple to use water repellent for the protection of external masonry from penetrating damp and freeze thaw damage.

Description

Sovereign Façade Cream is a simple to use water repellent for the protection of external masonry from penetrating damp and freeze thaw damage. Façade Cream is a viscous emulsion of silane and siloxanes that penetrate and impregnate porous masonry to produce a water repellent surface.

Properties

Sovereign Façade Cream can be applied by spray, brush or roller to porous masonry such as brick, mortar, render, limestone and sandstone. After penetration and curing the surface has a much lower water uptake therefore penetrating damp and freeze/thaw damage are prevented. Reducing the porosity of masonry also results in reduced heat transfer, improving the thermal properties of a dwelling. Sovereign Façade Cream does not prevent a wall from “breathing”

Sovereign Façade Cream is applied in a single coat unlike conventional water repellents. Thus a saving in labour is achieved. As Façade Cream is a viscous paste like emulsion there is no dripping and the chances of overspray are eliminated. After application and drying the surface is left unchanged in appearance and is still possible to apply decorative coatings such as masonry paint. Mould and algae growth on surfaces protected with Sovereign Façade Cream is vastly reduced as is salting and dirt pickup.

Coverage

5 Litres of Façade Cream will treat around 20 – 40m² depending on porosity and topography.

Reduction in Water Uptake

Brick Approximately 95%
Limestone Approximately 93%
Sandstone Approximately 91%
Render Approximately 90%
