Exterior Water Repellent - Funcosil Facade Cream
Funcosil Facade Cream from Remmers is an extremely high performance water-based exterior water repellent. It's suitable for use on brick, stone and render substrates. Once the cream is applied, the active ingredients soak into the substrate and provide an invisible barrier against water penetration while still allowing your walls to 'breathe'. This means it's a highly effective way of protecting your home from the effects of driving rain and penetrating damp. 
Cream vs Liquid Waterproofing
A cream provides a longer contact period with the surface that allows for deeper penetration. This is particularly important when it comes to bricks that are slower to absorb. With liquid-based waterproofing products, you always get some run-off and only limited contact time with the surface making them less effective.   
As a professional water repellent, Funcosil has been designed so that the active ingredient penetrates as deeply as possible into the facade. This provides optimal protection against the absorption of water and pollutants as well as damage caused by frost. The exterior of your home is protected from damage.    
Proven Lifespan
Funcosil FC has a proven lifespan - it can provide waterproofing protection for decades. This long-term impact is due to the high concentration of the active ingredients and its ability to penetrate deep into the wall. 
Reduces Heat Loss 
Once applied and allowed to dry, this masonry water repellent makes the substrate waterproof but also reduces heat lost through it by up to 28%.
The upshot is that over the coming months your walls will continue to dry out and become increasingly good at protecting your home from rain as well as insulating your house from heat loss. You will experience an amazing reduction in heat loss through the walls that in turn will reduce fuel usage, cutting your energy bills. 
The product is non-toxic, safe and even helps reduce future growth of algae and lichen on your walls as there is not enough water available for them to grow. 
Applying a Facade Cream
The waterproofing cream is easy to apply by roller, spray or brush in just one coat. You can apply it straight from the bucket. The creamy consistency means that it can be applied without run-off loss (like you can get with liquid-based repellents) and can therefore be applied overhead.  
The initial white layer that helps you see where the cream has been applied, disappears completely after approximately 10 to 20 minutes. 
Condition of the Substrate:
The substrate must be in sound condition before you apply the Funcosil Facade Cream. Any structural defects such as cracks, cracked joints, defective connections, rising damp and hygroscopic moisture must be remedied first.
NB: The substrate must be clean, dust free and dry. Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +10 °C to max. +25 °C for a minimum of 24 hours.

Good service,very well packed. I found it far easier to apply than any I had used before, you could see where you had coated. The bricks look as they were before which pleased me, of course time will tell if is working but I have no doubts about this product. Martin.

Used Permaguard on wet west facing wall of conservatory. Product was easy to apply and goes a log Way. Ended up putting on two coats although I don't think this is necessary. Have had a lot of heavy rain recently and you can notice the difference between the treated wall and the rest of the house. The untreated bricks remain dark and wet for some time compared to the treated ones that remain light coloured. The Water just beads and runs off. Excellent product would definitely recommend.

Very easy to apply to stone masonry. Dried to invisible finish, no staining. Not able to comment on effect as yet so cant give 5 star rating.

Persistent rain needed to determine success, too soon to comment.

Applied this to my front outside wall as the old bricks absorb a lot of water. It went on very well and seems water resistant once dry. Just need to wait now for the winter to kick in to see how it performs.

I was rather concerned that the damp proof masonry cream would discolour my bricks. Fortunately these fears proved to be completely unfounded. The cream was very easy to apply with a brush, rapidly was absorbed into the brick and is now invisible! Standing outside looking at my walls during a recent thunderstorm has convinced me that my bricks are now far more resistant to water ingress and I'm very content with the quality of the product as a result.
