Reducing damp ingress into your property can have a remarkable impact on efficiency
The Impact of Damp on Your Walls
How does it impact insulating properties
Research has shown that even a small amount of moisture in a brick wall can significantly impact its insulation performance. In fact, testing has revealed that a dampness level of just 5% in a standard brick wall can reduce its insulation effectiveness by up to 50%. This is particularly true for cavity walls filled with insulation, where the presence of moisture can compromise the thermal efficiency of the materials.
Natural materials like stone and brick may appear impermeable to water, but they actually contain tiny pores that allow some water to seep through. While these pores contribute to their insulating properties by trapping air and reducing heat transfer, they become less effective when saturated with water. By applying a hydrophobic barrier to the exterior of your brick wall, you can minimize water absorption and enhance the natural insulation capabilities of the material, resulting in improved energy efficiency and a more comfortable indoor environment.
Exposed brick walls are the most susceptible to water ingress, due the exposed surface. Render coatings usual offer some level of protection. A hydrophobic coating, is a coating that repels water, so for example rain water will bounce of off your walls instead of sitting on the surface and having time to penetrate the naturally permeable brick surface.
One-Coat Protection: When it comes to protecting your building's exterior, you want a solution that is both effective and convenient. That's why we recommend our one-coat protection system, which offers unparalleled benefits that will keep your building looking great and functioning at its best.
Chemical Bonding: Our one-coat protection system chemically bonds to mineral surfaces, forming a strong foundation for long-lasting protection. Unlike other systems that simply sit on top of the surface, our technology penetrates deep into the material, creating a powerful bond that ensures maximum durability.
Dries Clear: One of the biggest advantages of our one-coat protection system is that it dries clear, leaving no visible residue or film. This means that the natural appearance of your building's exterior remains unchanged, preserving its beauty and character.
Super Hydrophobic: Water is one of the most damaging elements that buildings face. Our one-coat protection system features super hydrophobic properties, repelling water and preventing it from seeping into the material. This helps to prevent damage caused by water intrusion, such as cracking, warping, and rotting.
Self-Cleaning Surface: Another benefit of our one-coat protection system is its self-cleaning properties. The surface becomes highly resistant to dirt and stains, making maintenance a breeze. With our system, you won't need to worry about frequent cleaning or scrubbing, saving you time and money.
Breathable: In addition to being water-repellent, our one-coat protection system is also highly breathable. This means that any moisture trapped inside the material can escape, further reducing the risk of damage caused by water retention.
"I'm so glad I spoke to you. Our heating costs had been steadily increasing, but after they installed the new insulation, it's far better. It's much more affordable now."
Mr Wright - Plymouth
"Our ridge tile kept coming loose, and we were having to get scaffolders for rebedding few tiles every year. Dry ridge as you recommend has fixed perfect. Thank you"
Mr Kneller - Bournemouth
"Your team were professional, informative, and they answered all my questions thoroughly. Install went smoothly. I would have no trouble recommending your services."
Mrs Mcbride - Brighton
"I was skeptical about the benefit of solar panels, but after having them installed, I can't believe the difference. My electricity bills have gone down significantly, and I'm doing my part for the environment. Thanks for a great job!"
Mr & Mrs Davies - London
"We’d been struggling with leaks for a while, and after an inspection, it was clear the felt and battens needed replacing. The team handled everything, and our roof is now completely watertight. The difference is amazing, and we have peace of mind knowing our home is protected"
Mr Hope - South East
"Thank you to all your team, did a great job from survey to install, even with a little hiccup on site they rectified the issue with no trouble"
Mrs Ricks - Southampton
"The difference having our roof and walls cleaned and treated has made it fantastic. Visually so much better from the outside now."
Mr Brown - Cardiff
"My parents had a terrible experience with a previous installer, so were cautious when choosing. But your team were professional, friendly, and did an excellent job"
Mr James - Manchester
"My office room was freezing in the winter. After insulating it properly it so much better. Your surveyor knew exactly what would help straight away, very impressed."
Mr & Mrs Wilson - Leeds
