Please ensure that Stormdry is applied when the temperature is 5°C or above. We also recommend doing a patch test as Stormdry can sometimes darken the substrate e.g. Sandstone. Ease of application– We found Stormdry very easy to apply; it was like mayonnaise and adhered to the brush and wall very well and didn’t drip much. We first brushed off any loose dust and then applied the cream using narrow brushes around the window frames and wider brushes on the rest of the wall. We see no reason why the user couldn’t use a roller, but we chose brushes so we could dab the cream into the small indentations and crevices on the wall. With an active ingredient level of 40% – compared to concentrations as low as 2.5% for some competitors – Stormdry is not only far more effective at excluding moisture from masonry; it also has a significantly longer life expectancy of up to 25 years. Furthermore, the manufacturer asserts that Stormdry masonry cream is breathable, which allows moisture to escape from the wall and prevents any trapped moisture, such as condensation, from causing further damage. Used in conjunction with Stormdry Repointing Additive No.2, Stormdry is able to increase the flood resistance of masonry without altering its appearance.

The masonry will generally be resistant to light rain after 2 – 4 hours. As Stormdry Cream is formulated to penetrate deeplyCan be used on both interior and exterior surfaces, providing versatile protection against water damage into masonry it can take up to two months for a noticeable “beading effect” to appear when rainfall strikes the wall.

Stormdry ensures that the masonry remains dry throughout the year – maximising its thermal resistance or "R" value.Stormdry is verified by the Energy Saving Trust. Dry walls are better insulators than wet walls. Flood Protection The vast majority of buildings in the UK have two walls and a cavity, so these figures may not apply to you. Both employees and self-employed workers will pay less in National Insurance from next year, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt has announced in today's Autumn Statement.

Prevent Damp Caused by Insulation

YEAR PROTECTION Stormdry’s cream-based formulation allows it to Penetrate Deeply forming an invisible Water Repellent barrier in a Single Coat Application Here we take a look at how it performed in our test and we’ll also provide our opinion based on research and experience in the building trade: Claim 1: It rainproofs the wall Stormdry can be applied to wet walls that will dry out through it because of its permeability. Unlike other rain penetration and damp-proofing treatments, Stormdry lines the pores of the masonry so that water can escape as vapour but cannot enter in liquid form. This ‘breathability’ also enables Stormdry to help counter to the damp issues encountered in cavity wall insulation because the wall can dry out while being protected from any further water penetration that will affect the insulation’s performance. Odour– Stormdry didn’t have a strong odour at all, and after one month, we couldn’t notice any smell on the wall at all. Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream stops rain penetrating external walls, keeping them warm and dry. The Energy Saving Trust has granted Stormdry ‘verified’ status from the as high levels of moisture in the masonry, such as those in exposed locations, will lose heat faster than dry walls. Keeping walls dry by applying Stormdry will maximise their thermal performance.

Stormdry is easy to apply using a brush or roller and only a single coat application is required - many competing water repellent products require two coats. 25-Year Durability Stormdry is the only colourless masonry water repellent treatment that carries BBA approval (cert. number 15/5198).
