Help! 20Mar 31, 2015 10:37 pm A penetrating sealer binder will reduce if not stop moisture ingress, that in turn reduces salt ingressand the wet/dry cycle that has been happening for a very long time. Fretting bricks will have suffered damage beyond what you can see. The dusty surface will exfoliate easily until sound substrate is exposed, unless it is possible to bond the fretting surface. If the surface has a stronger modulus and flexural strength the surface will peal off the underlying weaker substrate. This is where the penetrating part prevents ingress and the binder part increases surface durability. You might get 7-10 years but at 6 years some maintenance will be required along the same lines as above. And this is my business ...... Glad wrap(aka membrane) /paint/aesthetic/decorative treatment will breakdown in 2 summers. I've spent decades dealing with the issues of rammed earth and rammed limestone and moisture ingress.
