Exterior Water Repellent - Funcosil Facade Cream
Funcosil FC from Remmers is an extremely high performance water-based exterior water repellent. It's suitable for use on brick, stone and render substrates.

“I applied it with a natural bristle paintbrush to a sandstone gable that faces the prevailing wind. The surface is too irregular for a roller. It was bonded in 1840 with pure lime mortar. Eight years ago I repointed with lime mortar, and skimmed same over the surfaces of the stones. The cream had the effect of only slightly reducing the absorption of rainwater.”

“So happy I came across this product during my research. More than happy with it. We've used it to seal a north facing, Ham Stone wall, which takes the full force of driving rain. So far, so good! The inside of the wall which has always been damp to the point of wet, has dried out for the first time ever. We haven't been through a winter yet, but we've had rain and it's fine. I feel confident it will hold out through the winter. Not sure if it will need another coat next year but may give it one just to ease my mind. Brilliant.”

“Our house was built in 1974 of brick. As we live on the North Wales coast we sometimes get horizontal rain storms which soak the bricks and allows moisture to collect in the cavity. In extreme weather, as experienced in February 2020, the rain was so intense it came through the inner cavity wall. On doing extensive research I came across the Masonry Protection Cream sold by Permagard. It is a bit like covering your body with white suntan cream which gets absorbed into the brick. Just had 2 days of serious rain with no problems with our wall. It is very easy to apply and would highly recommend it.”
