is a system which involves the insertion of frozen siliconate solution pellets into holes drilled in the selected mortar course or an equivalent area of brickwork, blockwork or stone, the pellets melt and diffuse into the surrounding wall area and cure to from a continuous barrier to rising damp.

USES: Damp-Stick can be used on existing brickwork, blockwork and stone of any thickness, cavity walls and walls of rubble filled construction and is particularly effective in the treatment of older properties.

FORMULATION: Manufactured from a siliconate solution in a controlled batch blending process the Damp-Stick is 20mm diameter by 210mm length.

COVERAGE: A box of 250 Damp-Sticks will cover 7.5 linear metres on a solid 225mm wall (9 inches).

DRYING TIMES: After treatment a 230mm solid brick wall previously affected by rising damp should normally dry out in 6 - 12 months provided normal heating is used during the winter months. Thicker walls may take longer.

 
 
DURABILITY: Research shows that siliconate impregnated walls are expected to remain effective for at least 20 years.
APPLICATION: 22mm holes are drilled horizontally at 110mm intervals normally in the mortar bed along the selected course to within 12 - 25mm of the opposite face of the wall. Internal walls are treated from either side, external walls are generally drilled from the outside (a minimum of 150mm above outside floor level). The holes are treated with the sticks four times. If plaster is in good condition it is not necessary to remove but if in bad condition remove to a height of 1 metre.
