BRICK IMPREGNATION – Wall Brick Protector is an impregnating treatment developed specifically to reduce the capillary water uptake of brick surfaces – for both new and reclaimed bricks.
Brick treated with the product does not absorb water, which helps reduce surface decay, nitre / salt efflorescence, and lowers the risk of frost damage.
If bricks are installed in mortar or another bonding material, treat the surface only after the binder has fully cured and dried. If bricks are laid in sand (walking surface), it is recommended to impregnate them by dipping before installation.
Material consumption depends mainly on brick type, porosity and surface roughness. The guideline values below refer to typical two-coat applications:
| Surface type | Recommended coats | Coverage / consumption |
|---|---|---|
| New brick surface (average porosity) | 2 coats | 2–3 m²/L (approx. 0.33–0.50 L/m²) |
| Very porous reclaimed brick surface | 2 coats | approx. 0.7–1.0 L/m² |
Typical practical average consumption is approx. 0.7 L/m². Always determine the exact value with a test area.
