Eliminate Rising Damp with the Dryrod & Dryzone Damp Resistant Plaster - The Dryzone System

Rising damp occurs when groundwater rises up through walls, floors and masonry. Bricks and mortar can be very porous and contain many fine capillaries, through which water can rise. This can result in visible damp patches, salt-contamination and crumbling plaster on interior walls.

Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods: These patented 12 mm diameter fibre rods carry a powerful water-repellent material. They are simply inserted into holes drilled at regular intervals along a mortar course. Once inserted, the rods diffuse their water-repellent material along the mortar course, curing to form an effective barrier to rising damp.

Dryzone Renovation Plasters: This specification uses a modern formulation of breathable damp and salt-resistant plaster that is able to be applied with traditional plastering techniques. Unlike the sand and cement renders that are often used, Dryzone Renovation Plasters are non-destructive to the underlying masonry, do not require gauging and present a warm surface.
