Brick Sealer/Waterproofer Comparison

Climashield and Stormdry were the winners in my test (see on Amazon: amzn.to/49x6wGG ).
If you want to know if brick waterproof sealers discolour the bricks, this video is for you.
I tested four different brick sealers that are widely sold in the UK. My test lasted seven months and is 100% impartial - I was not paid to conduct this test.

Hello. I've JUST found your channel, and have subscribed. Would these types of products be any good to seal a breeze block council shed? It has been horribly wet and damp for years and seems to be getting worse. The roof is asbestos, and the council won't do anything about that. The council gave it ONE coat of white paint last year (their 20 year maintenance 🙄) but wouldn't do a 2nd coat. I'm disabled with Chronic Illnesses/Severe Chronic Pain, and I live in a rural area, where it is nigh impossible to get any DIY help, but have just recently employed a cleaning lady who can garden too. She mentioned that she could do some shed painting for me. Obviously it's too late in the year now...we have been getting a lot of frosty nights. Do you think another coat of white paint should be put on first, before anything else? It was in a bad way before the council painted it....peeling paintwork, but their layer is so thin, it's peeling again in parts. Any advice would be welcome. Thank you.

Hi, amazing video. Can applying these products be a cheaper alternative to expensive external wall insulation for solid walls?

[@gbbman2409]

this is great thank you. Do you think this will work over painted bricks?

[@mistervelux]

Just repaint.

Thank you for this video I painted the outside of the building black and not the inside of the brick has formed a white flaky powder. Do you think I could apply stormdry on to the inside wall? The other choice would be over the outside painted wall?

[@GMTpointingspecialistsltd]

The white powder on the inside will be efflorescence it should be wiped of with a dry cloth or you will just push it back in the wall and it will come back out when it dries

How much coverage should 1.5 gallons of Stormdry cover?

[@johnw2758]

Don't know if you're in the US (gallons) or not but 1 litre covers about 5 square metre
