What Are Brick Sealants?
Moisture is one of the primary causes of brick damage and degradation. Bricks are quite porous, so they can absorb large amounts of moisture from the environment. When this moisture freezes in cold climates like Metro Detroit, it can expand, causing the bricks to crack, split, or spall.
Brick sealants help repel water while allowing the bricks to breathe naturally. This lets any moisture in the bricks evaporate away and keeps out rain and condensation that could cause problems in the future.

Types of Brick Sealant
There are several types of brick sealant depending on the application and the amount of protection required. They help seal the surface and restore the original look of the brick. At Brickworks Property Restoration, we work with these sealants:
Siloxane
Designed for use on brick, concrete, and other masonry surfaces, Siloxane features a silane-siloxane sealant that absorbs deep into the brick. It reacts with the silica and alumina below the brick’s surface to create a durable, weather-resistant seal.
ChimneySaver
Ideal for chimneys and other brickwork that needs to be vapor-permeable, ChimneySaver uses a proprietary polysiloxane that allows moisture and other vapors produced during the combustion process to evaporate away while still protecting the brick from rain, snow, and condensation.
It chemically reacts with the brick surface to provide long-lasting protection, and it outperforms other sealant options like silicone, resins, or acrylics.
