Brick is a key building material used in modern design. It’s affordable, tough and durable. It can however become damaged over time because of harsh weather conditions. It can cause cracks, erosion, and perhaps structural problems. This video will teach you how weatherproofed bricks can endure for years.

To prevent water from entering the bricks in your home, you will need apply a waterproofing agent. Similar work can be performed by a masonry sealing company. Apply the waterproofing agent to the bricks using either a sprayer, roller or some other technique. You must apply the agent generously because it is not possible to apply too much. It can take up to 14 days for the concrete to soak up the agent. Once it is cured, these weatherproof blocks will be resistant against rain, snow and sleet. They are extremely hydrophobic, meaning that water will just run off and bead up immediately away. However, bricks that are not treated can absorb the water and can cause damage over time. It is easy to distinguish weatherproofed bricks due to their darker shade after they get wet.
