FAQs

How long does Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream last?

Stormdry Cream is BBA-certified to provide 25 years of protection from a single coat when applied correctly to suitable masonry.

Can I use Stormdry on painted walls?

No, Stormdry is designed for bare, unpainted masonry. Applying over existing paint or coatings will prevent proper penetration and adhesion.

What is the correct dilution for the Repointing Additive?

The Repointing Additive No. 1 must be diluted with clean water at a ratio of 1 part additive to 9 parts water before being used as the gauging liquid for your mortar mix.

Will Stormdry change the appearance of my walls?

When dry, Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream is colorless and does not change the natural appearance of the masonry.

Is Stormdry suitable for historic buildings?

Yes, the breathable nature of Stormdry Cream and the water-repellent yet permeable qualities of the Repointing Additive make them suitable for historic restoration projects where preserving the masonry's ability to breathe is important.

Can I apply Stormdry in cold weather?

Avoid applying Stormdry Cream in freezing temperatures or when frost is expected. Ideal application temperatures are between 5°C and 25°C. Ensure the masonry is dry.

Does this product stop rising damp?

No, Stormdry protects against penetrating damp from external sources like rain. It does not address rising damp, which requires a different treatment method.

Troubleshooting

Stormdry Cream not penetrating evenly

Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application. Apply in moderate temperatures and avoid application during heavy rain or frost. Use a suitable applicator for even spread.

Repointing mortar is too wet or too dry

Verify the dilution ratio of the Repointing Additive (1:9 with water). Ensure consistent mixing of the mortar components and adjust sand/cement ratios if necessary, within standard mortar practices.

White efflorescence appears after application

This can sometimes occur if salts within the masonry are drawn to the surface by the application process. It is usually cosmetic and can be brushed off once dry. If persistent, ensure masonry is adequately dry before treatment.

Surface appears slightly darker after drying

This can occasionally happen on certain types of masonry. A second, light coat of Stormdry Cream may help to even out the appearance, but always test in an inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides long-lasting, proven masonry waterproofing.
  • Preserves the natural look of brickwork and stone.
  • Offers potential energy efficiency benefits.
  • Enhances the durability of repointed mortar joints.
  • Suitable for a wide range of masonry types.

Cons

  • Repointing additive requires precise dilution.

  • Initial cost may be higher than basic waterproofing solutions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure masonry surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose debris, render, or paint. For repointing, remove old, degraded mortar to a depth of at least 12mm.

Application of Repointing Additive: Dilute Stormdry Repointing Additive No. 1 with clean water at a ratio of 1 part additive to 9 parts water. Use this diluted mixture as the gauging liquid for your chosen lime:sand or cement:sand mortar mix. Mix thoroughly according to mortar manufacturer guidelines.

Application of Stormdry Cream: Apply Stormdry Masonry Protection Cream using a brush, roller, or low-pressure spray. A single coat is typically sufficient. Ensure even coverage.

Compatibility:

  • Masonry Types: Effective on brick, stone, mortar, cement, sandstone, and granite.
  • Mortar: The additive is specifically designed for lime:sand or cement:sand mortars. The cream is compatible with most standard masonry surfaces. Do not apply over existing paint or coatings unless specifically tested.

Care: Once applied and cured, Stormdry requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect treated areas for any signs of significant damage or wear, though the protective qualities are long-lasting. Keep application tools clean after use.
