How to Prevent Penetrating Damp

Protect your property before the winter arrives with Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream. The breathable masonry waterproofing cream is simply applied to brick, stone or masonry walls in a single coat using a brush, roller or airless spray. Once cured, it will then protect the wall from rain penetration for at least 25 years without affecting the wall’s appearance.

Protecting your property from rain penetration is important, not only to stop easily visible problems (such as damp patches or spoiled decor) but also to help minimise heat-loss through weather-facing walls.

A wall that is wet due to rain penetration will lose heat faster than a wall that is kept dry by Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream. Testing has shown that a standard fletton brick, when saturated, loses heat twice as fast as it does when dry.

Don’t Delay – Protect Today

Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream is the only colourless masonry waterproofing cream that has been both approved by the BBA and CE/UKCA-marked. It has also been named as an insulation protection measure in a recent government report, which stated that Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream was ‘by far the main product in the industry’ and mentioned that it was the only ‘brick-cream’ available that had any research to support its claims.

Due to its breathability, Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream can be applied to walls that are already damp.

It will allow residual moisture within the wall to evaporate and exit the wall as water vapour whilst rain penetration is resisted. However, the application requires at least a 24 hour period without rain and temperatures above 5°C. As rainfall increases and the temperatures drop after October, application can become difficult.

More Help From the Stormdry Range

The Stormdry range of products also includes options for dealing with cracks and defects in walls, such as Stormdry XR-Mortar or Stormdry MAX, and further options for increasing the thermal performance of walls, such as the Stormdry EP-Board internal insulation system.

Don’t delay! Get your property protected before it's too late to apply. You can then enjoy a warm and dry winter.
