    Rising damp can damage buildings by causing timber decay and heat loss. It also carries salts that degrade plaster and decorations. To remedy this, Peter Cox installs a DryWall Silane Diffusion damp proofing system. This involves injecting a silane/siloxane cream into walls to form a barrier against rising damp. As it diffuses, it releases a vapor that waterproofs masonry. Compared to other methods, it causes less disruption and quicker drying. The system has a 20-year guarantee and approval from the Agrement Board.

    Rising Damp Control

    Problem
    Rising damp is unhealthy, unsightly and can
    lead to timber decay and heat loss.
    Because it carries with it hygroscopic ground
    salts such as chlorides and nitrates,
    it can break down plaster and ruin internal
    decorations.

    Solution
    To resolve the problem, Peter Cox install a
    remedial damp proof course using their DryWall
    Silane Diffusion system, the very latest in damp
    proofing technology.
    This involves the introduction into the wall of a
    concentrated thixotropic silane/siloxane 'cream' to
    form a barrier against rising damp. As the cream
    slowly diffuses it also releases a silane vapour
    which reacts with the silica in the masonry to form a
    water repellent resin.
    No liquid is involved so the wall is quicker to dry out
    and it is not injected under pressure which means
    that there are no problems with party walls.
    On occasions, primarily on 112mm single brick walls,
    a siliconate injection system may be recommended
    using a single lance and low pressure.

    Features & Benefits


    Low hazard, non-caustic and solvent free
    Non-flammable and virtually odourless
    Recommended for brick or stone
    Suitable for walls of any type and thickness
    For both internal and external use
    Can be used on 280mm cavity brick walls
    It is important to remember that the injection of a damp
    proof course will only prevent further moisture rising
    from the ground and that all other sources of dampness
    must be eliminated as well.
    The DryWall Silane Diffusion system has been
    approved by the Agrement Board and carries a 20 year
    guarantee .
