Evergreen climbers provide winter insulation, by not only by maintaining a pillow of air between the plant and the wall, but by reducing wind chill on the wall surface.

This effect should not be confused with the "beading" effect often associated with water repellents. l/m² can be applied in one working operation, even on vertical surfaces/ceilings without a loss of material. Julie went through all the options with me, worked with the agent to get access to the property and got the survey done within a couple of days. The substrate must be dry prior to application, otherwise this will present a barrier to the Masonry Cream soaking into the surface.

We provide structural damp and waterproofing solutions for your basement, cellar, home or business, from wall to finish.

The beading effect demonstrates the surface action of a water repellent but may not be significant when assessing a products overall performance (resistance to rain water penetration under wind pressure). Dryseal Basements did a thorough, careful and thoughtful survey and then carried out the work very professionally, neatly and to a high standard.

Before a water repellent impregnation is carried out, crusts of dirt and pollutants as well as efflorescence, algae and moss must be removed by a suitable cleaning procedure.

By keeping the walls completely dry, it's meant to improve the thermal properties - which would be very usuful, but is where I'm not sure how true it can be! The stuff is meant to be completely waterproof (sheds water and dirt by beading) soaks into porous stone and mortar up to 17mm depth and dries to a breathable, clear coating lasting minimum 10 years.

Ideal for locations such as basements and cellars or for external coating for concrete, brick, block and bonded renders. They mention that it does a great job, has good water repellency, and easily fixes damp wall problems. Had sealed the wall with a cheaper waterproofer but realised the cheaper one did not allow the wall to breathe.We bought a Victorian property with major damp issues all across the ground floor and it was evident damp proofing was necessary.

Fixed everything by digging out the ground infilling with Pea Shingle myself and having a builder cut a line in the patio slabs next to the house, digging in with a Pick Axe and then in filling the gap with Pea-Shingle. This can produce energy savings from an average of 6% to as much as 29%, if used in conjunction with other green deal systems.
