Protex Systems Ltd 'Clearshield'

Clearshield is a colourless waterproofing compound that penetrates deep beneath the surface with added dispensing agents giving better maximum depth of penetration. The compound forms a silicone barrier in the capillary channels and leaves no sign of discolouration which helps to keep the surface clean. Clearshield is not broken down by natural expansion and contraction caused by severe weather conditions over the years and will remain flexible.

How Clearshield works

When applied, Clearshield becomes part of the surface filling the pores with a water-repellent substance - this causes the water to 'bead' on to the surface, keeping your walls from saturation.
Clearshield will not alter the appearance of the brickwork or breathing ability of the surface. Clearshield is not affected by surface abrasion or erosion and lasts longer than other surface treatments.

Benefits of Application

Clearshield insulates and prevents heat loss in a property. Heat loss through brickwork is one and a half times greater when the brick is wet than when it is dry; an average house soaks up about 3000 gallons of water in the wet causing dampness and extra expense in heating.
Clearshield aids in preventing efflorescence (the build up of a white deposit on the surface of your walls); it also helps prevent frost attack and stops the build up of discolouration from pollution in the atmosphere.

Clearshield will put an end to costly repair work caused by water damage.
