We are pleased to announce the launch or Stormdry, a deeply penetrating masonry water-repellent supplied as a ready-for-use cream. Stormdry is the result of over three years research and development, resulting in a product that is:
Stormdry’s deep penetration gives it a performance advantage over previous generation masonry water-repellents such as Raindance or Raincheck Plus. Because Stormdry penetrates deeply into masonry, it is more resistant to the erosion of the masonry surface over time, giving it a life expectancy of twenty to thirty years.
One of the key design criteria of Stormdry was to produce a product that would be effective on neutral building materials as well as concrete.
The Stormdry formulation has been formulated to achieve this aim and has been shown to be effective when tested to BS EN ISO 15148:2002 (E) on a range of commonly used masonry materials including:
Fletton Brick
West Hoathley Brick
Mortar
Blaxter Sandstone
York Sandstone
Sheffield Sandstone
Concrete
Stormdry’s most obvious application is in the treatment of rain penetration (penetrating damp).
It also has applications in:
Flood protection
Improving the insulation properties of walls (particularly of hard to treat homes)
Improving the performance of certain types of cavity wall insulation by keeping it free from moisture

Prepare the surface
Use a brush to apply around details such as windows
Larger areas can be covered more quickly using roller application
15-20 minutes after application, Stormdry starts to penetrate into the masonry
After 24-48 hours the wall will have returned to its original appearance
The masonry will be resistant to light rain after two hours
