The Emperor System

1. Cleaner

Organic growth and other contamination on a surface can compromise the performance of any treatment you apply. Emperor Exterior Cleaner removes moss and algae while disinfecting the surface. This ensures the wall is free from organic growth and that once the treatment is applied, the organic growth cannot cause problems in the future.

Suitable for: Any exterior walls before applying Emperor Masonry Paint or Emperor Masonry Creme

Required: If your exterior walls currently suffer from algae, mildew or lichens, you must apply Emperor Exterior Masonry Cleaner to the surface before application.

2. Primer

Any bare or unpainted masonry surfaces must be primed prior to painting in order to ensure the paint can adhere to the surface and that the porous surface does not absorb the first coat of paint. Unlike standard primers, Emperor Masonry Primer contains the same super hydrophobic and highly breathable technology as our paint, ensuring optimum performance.

Suitable for: Any bare, unpainted walls before applying Emperor Masonry Paint. You do not need to apply primer before applying Emperor Masonry Creme.

Required: When applying Emperor Masonry Paint to bare, unpainted masonry and render. Not required on previously painted surfaces or on pre-coloured renders.

3. Textured Basecoat

Uneven, blemished walls can be a difficult task to mask. Whether it is caused by cracks or patch repairs, preparing a damaged surface ready to paint is essential. Emperor Textured Basecoat is a cutting-edge textured basecoat that is ideal for covering cracks and other imperfections on exterior walls. It can be easily applied via a brush or roller in order to create a range of textured finishes, blending new and existing surfaces for a seamless finish. Crucially, the product is the only 100% compatible basecoat for Emperor Masonry Paint, working with the paint and not against it, for optimum performance. Emperor Textured Basecoat is self-priming, so you do not need to apply Emperor Exterior Primer before applying the basecoat.

Suitable for: Use on both bare and previously painted render, masonry, brick and more when applying Emperor Masonry Paint.

Required: Not a requirement in order to qualify for the Emperor lifetime guarantee.

4. Paint or Creme

Emperor Masonry Paint is a cutting-edge, silicone-based coloured masonry paint that contains our pioneering nano-technology. This nano-technology creates a super hydrophobic surface that causes rainwater to form beads that simply roll off your walls, leaving your home dry and protected from the damaging effects of the weather. It also provides high breathability, allowing air and water vapour to easily escape. When used as part of the Emperor System, Emperor Masonry comes with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring its performance for decades to come.

Suitable for: Use on brick, stone, render, previously painted exterior walls and more.

Emperor Masonry Creme is a clear treatment that provides invisible protection to natural brick, stone and other masonry surfaces. It contains our pioneering nano-technology that is super hydrophobic and highly breathable, but in contrast to our masonry paint it does not alter the appearance of masonry in any way. Emperor Masonry Creme also comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Suitable for: Use on brick, stone, render, previously painted exterior walls and more.
