external masonry/stone sealant?
Not a home, a commercial property.
Looking into this for a bud of mine. Stone front, perhaps in need of some pointing. It will get some pointing, but, the stone itself looks to have a clear coat already on it. It's shiny... So, besides a good powerwash and repoint, what materials are there that are second to none at waterproofing that facade? DuPont had some stuff a casual observance displayed. Just hoping to get advice. Budget is not a big consideration, and I am sure that if no replies come the local HD or Lowes will have something to load up on that will do the trick. Just wondering if those that read this know any more.... Color me curious... |

It has to be reapplied every 9 months to 1 year. but the water beads up and does not penetrate if the surface is sound. |

But, I have never seen anyone seal a front, vertical surface. |

The big problem will be identifying and being compatible with the product that is already on there. Major players: Chemical Products: http://www.chemicalproductsokc.com/index.html W R Grace Prosoco http://www.prosoco.com/Products/6ca8...c-13bbd50cccb4 http://www.appliedtechnologies.com/h...ck_Sealer.html Dayton Superior http://www.daytonsuperior.com/Lists/...b1472&ID=1255& NodeId=1036&FilterType=BroadCategory&Filter=Chemic als -- ___________________________________ Keep the whole world singing . . .
