A breathable silane/siloxane repellent built for vertical brick, block, and stucco that keeps wind-driven rain out while letting the wall breathe. Pick it for above-grade masonry walls where you want an invisible, breathable repellent rather than a waterproof coating.

Pros

  • Penetrating silane/siloxane repels wind-driven rain on vertical brick, block, and stucco without a film
  • Breathable and vapor-permeable, so trapped moisture can still escape the wall
  • Zero-VOC, low odor, and non-yellowing with a long material warranty

Cons

  • Coverage swings dramatically with masonry porosity, making product estimating tricky
  • Water-repellent only, not a waterproofer, so it will not stop liquid water under head pressure
  • No color enhancement or gloss, so it does nothing decorative for the wall
