Product Information

Martin Lewis: What the Autumn Statement means for you – including wages, benefits, pensions, ISAs, national insurance and more A Stormdry Gauge can be used to demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment. The test should be carried out at least 28 days after applying Stormdry which allows the water absorption of the wall before and after treatment to be compared. Our PermaSEAL Facade Cream leaves an initial white coating, showing you exactly where you have applied it. This layer disappears approximately 60 minutes later. Preparing for facade cream application Surfaces treated with Microshield Ultra also benefit from improved thermal performance. Heat loss through “wet” walls is reduced, improving the indoor environment and saving valuable energy and money. Benefits of Microshield Ultra Furthermore, the manufacturer asserts that Stormdry masonry cream is breathable, which allows moisture to escape from the wall and prevents any trapped moisture, such as condensation, from causing further damage.

Damp proof paint isn’t designed for external use – it’s best used internally to protect against damp. Long term, the pollutants in the atmosphere and in driving rain, and storms can affect your home in a number of more serious ways: corrosion, growth of algae and lichen on the walls, loss of structural integrity and damage to timber elements. These are all major concerns, which require immediate attention. This ensures that the interior is protected from severe weather and penetrating damp, but any residual moisture or water vapour is still able to escape.

Masonry Waterproofing Cream

Depending on the porosity of the substrate, the coverage of PermaSEAL Facade Cream in one coat is approximately 0.15 - 0.20 l/m². Smartseal Masonry Cream is environmentally friendly and will also protect against stains, pollution, graffiti and organic growth

This highly effective damp proofing systemwill also provide a highly effective additional barrier to flooding as part of any existing flood protection system. Now you can use the roller to apply the masonry cream. Be sure to start at the top and work your way down. The manufacturer states that this barrier prevents water from entering the wall and causing damage such as dampness, mould, and efflorescence. The substrate must be dry prior to application, otherwise this will present a barrier to the Masonry Cream soaking into the surface. An inferior product is not going to last long. This is why you should search for the best masonry cream products that offer the most extended life.

Super Hydrophobic Coating

Any product that drastically reduces the breathability of the wall should be avoided, as moisture can become trapped in the wall and cause damp and mould. Stormdry claims their product is “breathable” but when we read the small print, we noticed that they claim it will reduce the wall’s breathability by around 10%. You may need to consider this if you live in a property that has had previous issues with condensation buildup, breathability or ventilation. We agree. Stormdry was very easy to apply and we found it wasn’t nearly as messy as we thought it would be. We’ve previously tested liquid-based wall sealers that dripped everywhere and in our opinion, this cream-based alternative is easier to apply. Claim 3: Low odour It mimics the lotus leaf by creating a super hydrophobic, self-cleaning surface. Dirt particles are unable to obtain a hold on ProPERLA treated surfaces and will simply flow off with rainfall. Autumn Statement: Workers to pay less in national insurance – but rate cuts don't offset the freezing of personal tax thresholds The walls are regularly soaked in rainwater, e.g. your home is located in an exposed and windswept location.
