Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream provides an efficient way to protect your home from penetrati...Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream provides an efficient way to protect your home from penetrating damp in just a day’s work. Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream is applied in a single coat using a brush, roller, or spray. Once applied, it penetrates deeply into the wall's surface and cures to form a breathable, water-repellent barrier. As the only BBA-certified masonry protection cream available (Certificate Number: 15/5198), Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its effectiveness. BBA testing confirms that it provides water repellence for up to 25 years. Once cured, the cream is completely colourless. Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream also maximises energy efficiency by keeping walls dry. Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream plays a role in flood protection systems. When used alongside cavity drainage and Stormdry Repointing Additive, it reduces the amount of water that can pass through walls. For applications requiring enhanced flood resistance or protection against wind-driven rain, Stormdry Repointing Additive No.2 improves water repellence, bonding strength, and mortar flexibility. However, this additive does not allow the mortar to breathe. Like Additive No.1, it is supplied as a concentrate to be diluted and mixed with water. Protect your home from penetrating damp in a day's work.
This guide helps homeowners protect their properties from penetrating damp using Stormdry Masonry Waterproofing Cream. The cream provides a breathable, water-repellent barrier for up to 25 years with a single application. Note that for applications requiring enhanced flood resistance or protection against wind-driven rain, you may need to use Stormdry Repointing Additive.
