Forming a breathable, transparent membrane, it allows trapped moisture to evaporate naturally while preventing further water ingress. Ideal for use on brickwork, aged concrete, render, pointing, terracotta, and wood, this deep-penetrating formula enhances durability and protection. However, it is not suitable for plywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeep-penetrating clear water seal for wood, bricks, concrete, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeaves a breathable, water-repellent membrane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDries to a matt finish on porous surfaces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArea\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExterior\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Use\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForming a breathable, transparent membrane, it allows trapped moisture to evaporate naturally while preventing further water ingress.\nIdeal for use on brickwork, aged concrete, render, pointing, terracotta, and wood.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSolvent Based\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoverage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUp to 10m2 per litre\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrying Time\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e48 Hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecommended Coats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 Coats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApplication Method\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrush, Roller or Sprayer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVOC Levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClean Up\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove as much product as possible from the equipment before cleaning following manufacturer's recommendations\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePreparation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, debris, and contaminants before treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNew Bare Wood\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean and de-grease with white spirit if needed before applying water seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eOld Untreated Wood\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove and replace decayed wood, cutting at least 45cm beyond the damaged area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a stiff brush to remove dirt, mould, algae, or fungi.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreat affected areas with a mildew cleaner before applying Barrettine Water Seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAged Brick or Concrete\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove masonry paint with Paint Panther Paint \u0026amp; Varnish Remover or allow it to weather for two years.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrush away dirt and debris before applying Barrettine Water Seal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTreat mould or algae with Barrettine Driveway, Decking \u0026amp; Patio Cleaner.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet dry for 24 hours, then rinse with clean water.
