What this video covers
Waterproofing exposed concrete brick walls requires a multi-step preparation process to ensure long-term protection against moisture, salt air, and wind. Before applying any coating, all gaps in the mortar joints must be filled and surface imperfections or protrusions removed using an angle grinder.4:13 For this project, a 200-square-meter studio structure was treated with Soprema Dentro Crio Parede, a liquid membrane that functions as a sealer, waterproofing agent, and paint.5:41 The product was applied in three coats, starting with a diluted base layer to ensure deep penetration into the porous brick.7:44 While rollers were tested, a high-quality, thick brush provided the best coverage and finish for the textured surface.15:50 The resulting cured membrane forms a flexible, rubber-like film that resists cracking as the masonry settles.16:26 This anti-mold coating maintains the industrial aesthetic of the brick while preventing water absorption during heavy rain.6:22
