Exterior Water Repellent - Funcosil Facade Cream
Funcosil Facade Cream from Remmers is an extremely high performance water-based exterior water repellent. It's suitable for use on brick, stone and render substrates. Once the cream is applied, the active ingredients soak into the substrate and provide an invisible barrier against water penetration while still allowing your walls to 'breathe'. This means it's a highly effective way of protecting your home from the effects of driving rain and penetrating damp.
Cream vs Liquid Waterproofing
A cream provides a longer contact period with the surface that allows for deeper penetration. This is particularly important when it comes to bricks that are slower to absorb. With liquid-based waterproofing products, you always get some run-off and only limited contact time with the surface making them less effective.
As a professional water repellent, Funcosil has been designed so that the active ingredient penetrates as deeply as possible into the facade. This provides optimal protection against the absorption of water and pollutants as well as damage caused by frost. The exterior of your home is protected from damage.
Proven Lifespan
Funcosil FC has a proven lifespan - it can provide waterproofing protection for decades. This long-term impact is due to the high concentration of the active ingredients and its ability to penetrate deep into the wall.
Reduces Heat Loss
Once applied and allowed to dry, this masonry water repellent makes the substrate waterproof but also reduces heat lost through it by up to 28%.
The upshot is that over the coming months your walls will continue to dry out and become increasingly good at protecting your home from rain as well as insulating your house from heat loss. You will experience an amazing reduction in heat loss through the walls that in turn will reduce fuel usage, cutting your energy bills.
The product is non-toxic, safe and even helps reduce future growth of algae and lichen on your walls as there is not enough water available for them to grow.
Applying a Facade Cream
The waterproofing cream is easy to apply by roller, spray or brush in just one coat. You can apply it straight from the bucket. The creamy consistency means that it can be applied without run-off loss (like you can get with liquid-based repellents) and can therefore be applied overhead.
The initial white layer that helps you see where the cream has been applied, disappears completely after approximately 10 to 20 minutes.
Condition of the Substrate:
The substrate must be in sound condition before you apply the Funcosil Facade Cream. Any structural defects such as cracks, cracked joints, defective connections, rising damp and hygroscopic moisture must be remedied first.
NB: The substrate must be clean, dust free and dry. Temperature of the material, air and substrate: from min. +10 °C to max. +25 °C for a minimum of 24 hours.

Brought this cream to waterproof below my downstairs window as during the winter months it become damp from the driving rain. The cream went on well and once dried was totally invisible to see. Can’t comment on it performance yet but from testing a small area for water run off I have confidence this will perform well and will place a review on this once the winter months are upon us.Price Value Quality Permagard Reply:
Hi Mark, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review - it is great to hear your feedback! We love the facade cream and hope that you will too. The Permagard TeamExcellent product
I live in an 1870's house built from York stone. This product is invisible once dried, even close up. Very easy to apply with no mess. Im so impressed that I have bought 3 tubs in total now to cover my entire property and not just the problem area. With a German made quality product and the good value price offered by Permagard compared to other companies you can't go wrong. Within a short space of time I have noticed my wall drying out!

Hi Martin Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, we are really happy to hear your positive views on Remmers Facade Cream and really appreciate your repeat custom. The Permagard TeamFantastic product
Absolutely fantastic. Our gable end is very exposed to driving rain and wind, and we’ve had water ingress due to porous brick. House only 10 years old and timber frame.
Difference it has made is unbelievable. I can now sleep easy knowing that no water is being soaked up by our bricks.Quality Price Value Permagard Reply:

Delivered next day, easy to apply even for a DIY'er and soaks in well. Brought it at the discounted price which was the cheapest I could find online. It appears to have cured our penetrating damp which we have lived with for many years. Hope fully it will last the test of time.
