Versatile water-repelling masonry sealer

WaterShield is a clear, penetrating sealer that repels water, grease and oils. For use on porous surfaces such as concrete, stucco, brick, block, and stone. WaterShield is non-toxic, odor-free and safe for both indoor and outdoor use. This can also be used outdoors on vertical wood surfaces e.g. under an eaves, that are raw wood or those stained with water-base stains such as AFM Durotone. Not for use on decks or horizontal fence railing. WaterShield is not recommended as a floor finish where stain and scuff resistance are desired.

NOTE: This product is not for use in fountains, pools, shower floors or below grade applications. When using, make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free of wax, paint or other sealers and the pH is neutral 7-9pH.

Why We Like It

It's easy to use, has no odor and creates a lasting seal on all masonry surfaces. It also does not change the sheen of what it's applied to. It works well to protect American Clay plaster in damp areas; in fact, we have successfully used WaterShield on our American Clay backsplash in the kitchen – including behind the stove – and on the walls around the vanity in our powder room.
