Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Preparation: Identify areas affected by rising damp and remove any damaged plaster or paint.
- Drilling: Drill 12 mm holes along the mortar lines, spacing them according to the product instructions.
- Insertion: Insert the Dryrod rods into the holes.
- Sealing: Fill any remaining spaces around the rods with mortar.
- Finishing: Allow the wall to dry completely before replastering or repainting.
Compatibility
Dryrod is compatible with most common building materials, including brick, stone, and concrete. However, it's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area if using on an unfamiliar material.
Care
Ensure proper ventilation during installation and drying. Follow safety precautions when drilling and handling the rods. No specific ongoing care is required after installation, but monitor for any signs of recurring damp and address accordingly.
