Brick sealers are important for any masonry work or application. No structure can claim completion without having the finishing touch of this application. We would try to look at what these applications really are and why you should need this.
When you go around the streets and closely observe the walls of the houses, you would be very clearly able to make out the difference between a house with a brick sealer and the house without one. If you find the house walls not sealed, then there would be probably lots of cracks and openings in the wall. The cracks would not only be on the exterior part of the structure but it would be in the interior too. These cracks might have existed in your walls for quite sometime but you would have probably discovered it only now.
There could be lot of reasons for these cracks on your walls. Some of them could be dirt, grease, grime and at times weeds too. All these different external sources are put under a common name called contaminants. The damage causes by these contaminants are either external or internal in nature. The external damage happens when the outer surface of the wall is being penetrated. The internal damage is more serious and it loosens out the entire inner body of the wall structure. As far as the weeds are concerned, they start growing on these walls and the roots of these weeds eventually end up causing cracks and damage to the wall.
These damages can be visible from the outside but you would not be able to very accurately guess the reasons for the damage. It is only for this reason that brick sealers are used as they protect the wall from all damages, no matter what the root causes are.
Before the application of the brick sealers, there are some things that need to be done. Prepare the wall for the sealing application by cleaning the surface of the wall by water and detergent. The cleaning will help you get rid of the weeds and also expose the damaged and affected areas on the wall.
The next thing is the application of the wall paver. For the application process, you might need some special tools like heavy duty sprayers. These sprayers can be easily purchased from the retailer. Do not go for cost cutting here and try to buy the most reputed sprayers as these are the ones which are really very effective and give results that you desire. Buy brick sealers as per the requirements of your walls as these are generally available in different-sized cans and quantities.
