Once the structural integrity of your walls are up to scratch, you can use a waterproof façade cream to create an invisible barrier between the elements and the exterior of your home. This protects your home against driving rain, potential frost damage, and pollutants. Read more about damp proofing outside walls. If you want to be sure that your salts and mould won’t return, you can apply a waterproof render or fit a mesh membrane to your wall before replastering.This is a problem because they can act as a bridge for damp that has accumulated in an external wall to travel across the cavity to the internal wall, again creating a damp or cold patch. Once you give those cleaners some time to set in, you have to rinse the surface and rinse it well. This step is where a power washer is helpful. It will blast the remaining cleaner and contaminants right off, cleaning the surface and clearing the way. Afterward, you may want to apply a sealer. The damp patches can also be ‘cold spots’ on your wall, as damp patches lose heat 3 times faster than the surrounding wall. Store sealed in a cool place away from direct sunlight.Once opened, use entire contents as soon as possible. There are a few reasons why your masonry may have faults and each of these causes will have its own solution, which we will discuss here.

We have adjusted the formula of this impregnating sealing product to improve application and sealing performance. Dryseal waterproofer is both an effective and breathable formulation, and so we can recommend it for waterproofing your outside walls. When your external walls are exposed to a water source such as rain, this water can enter your masonry, in some cases travelling laterally from your external walls to your internal walls. Damp proof paint isn’t designed for external use – it’s best used internally to protect against damp.

Conclusion

Another important factor is that the appearance is not changed by applying the treatment. This is particularly important in older natural stone buildings. The cream leaves no visible or textural change to the surface. What is the difference between damp proof paint and masonry waterproof paint?
