The next generation in protection
Super hydrophobic
Protect your home- Emperor Masonry Creme’s super hydrophobic technology doesn’t just make your walls water repellent, it makes them super hydrophobic
- Rainwater beads and simply rolls off your walls, leaving your home dry & protected from the damaging effects of the weather
- Reduces the absorption of water in your walls by 96%
- Helps to prevent penetrating damp
Highly Breathable
No more compromises- With an SD breathability value of just 0.01, the same as lime wash, you can breathe easy knowing your walls are breathing easily too
- Air and water vapour can easily escape because the pores of the walls are not sealed
- Penetrates deep into the masonry and creates a chemical bond to the wall whilst maintaining the masonry’s natural open-pore structure
- Emperor Masonry Creme gives you the protection you want with the breathability you need, no compromises
Improve energy efficiency
Save money
- Damp, wet walls cause your home to lose heat more quickly
- Independent scientific tests revealed that by keeping your walls dry, Emperor Masonry Creme kept masonry up to 6°C warmer on average compared to untreated masonry
- Reduces heat loss and makes your home more energy efficient
- Reduces the carbon footprint of your home
Self-cleaning
Enjoy that newly painted look for longer and be the envy of your neighbours. Dirt is washed away with rainfall and the growth of moss, algae and lichens is deterred.
A solution for damp
By preventing water absorbing into your exterior walls and seeping inside, it helps to protect your home from penetrating damp and the range of problems it causes.
Eco-friendly
Thanks to both our low VOC, eco-friendly formulation and its heat retaining properties, you can positively contribute to lower carbon emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Emperor Masonry Creme breathable?
Breathability is a term used within the building industry to describe how easily a substrate allows water vapour to pass through it.
Our independent scientific testing confirmed that Emperor Masonry Creme has an SD value of 0.01, showing it has no negative effect on breathability and does not restrict the movement of water vapour.
How has Emperor Masonry Creme been tested?
Emperor Masonry Creme has been independently tested by a UKAS Accredited Testing Laboratory to verify its performance.
The testing involved measuring four key performance areas of Emperor Masonry Paint and Creme:
1. The performance after 25 years of accelerated weathering
2. The breathability (water vapour diffusion)
3. The ability to reduce water absorption (water vapour resistance)
4. The thermal insulating properties
These results confirmed Emperor Masonry Creme passed all four tests.
What is the coverage of Emperor Masonry Creme?
It varies on different substrates, but generally masonry cream has a spreading rate of approximately 4-5m² per litre. Specific details about the coverage of each of our products can be found on the datasheet, which can be downloaded on the help & advice page.
Can I apply Emperor Masonry Creme over pre-painted bricks and substrates?
Masonry cream can only be applied onto untreated absorbent surfaces. If you are looking to protect a previous painted wall, we recommend using Emperor Masonry Paint.
How do I apply Emperor Masonry Creme?
Masonry cream can be applied using a brush, roller or airless spray machine. Specific details about how to prepare the surface and how to apply the products can be found on the datasheet, which can be downloaded on the product page.
Does masonry cream alter the appearance of the walls?
Emperor Paint Masonry Creme as a masonry cream is a clear product that penetrates deep into masonry instead of forming a film. That means it does not alter the appearance of masonry in any way.
Is masonry cream self-cleaning?
Yes, by creating a super hydrophobic surface on exterior brick, stone, concrete or render, masonry cream prevents dirt from attaching to the surface.
Any green growth and other organic matter is also discouraged, leaving masonry surfaces looking clean and beautiful long-term.
Can masonry cream prevent damp?
Masonry cream prevents moisture from absorbing into the exterior walls of properties, which is what is a key driver of penetrating damp.
At the same time, it remains highly breathable, allowing moisture to escape from inside a property. This keeps walls warm, dry and free from damp, even in harsh weather.
What is the difference between a masonry cream and sealer?
The key difference between masonry cream and a sealer is that masonry cream is an impregnating system, while sealers create a film on the surface of the masonry.
By absorbing deep into the surface, masonry cream chemically bonds to it. This allows it to line the pores without sealing them, maintaining breathability while providing water repellent properties.
A sealer forms a solid film on the surface. This traps moisture beneath, leading to damp, damage and eventually the sealer bursting as pressure builds.
