Wallrock Dampstop Thermic
Introduction to Wallrock Dampstop Thermic
Wallrock Dampstop Thermic is a cutting-edge product designed to combat penetrating damp and improve your home’s thermal efficiency. Unlike traditional damp-proofing solutions, it contains no paper or tar, making it more advanced and durable. This innovative product uses a tough, rot-proof, and salt-resistant polypropylene backing, ensuring a long service life even in tough conditions. The backing is bonded to a water-resistant composite metallic barrier, providing effective, long-lasting damp protection.
Wallrock Dampstop Product Features and Coverage
Each roll of Dampstop Thermic covers 5 square meters and comes in extra-wide 675mm widths. This makes it easier to manage and contain damp issues. The product is applied directly to walls using Wallrock Dampstop Thermic Adhesive. Once in place, it blocks unsightly penetrating damp and stains. The metallic surface can be painted or covered with various wallcoverings, including thermally efficient options. For best results, use Wallrock Dampstop Thermic Adhesive for all subsequent decoration.
Heat Reflection and Energy Efficiency
A key feature of Dampstop Thermic is its ability to reflect heat back into the room when the metallic surface is left exposed. This makes it especially useful behind radiators and other heat sources. It helps to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency in your home.
Pre-Installation Considerations
Before using Wallrock Thermic, ensure the product is undamaged and that you have enough material for your project. Always investigate and address the root causes of penetrating damp, such as blocked gutters or poor external wall conditions. This ensures long-term effectiveness.
Wallrock Dampstop Application as a Damp Barrier
To apply Dampstop Thermic as a damp barrier, first prepare the wall. Then, apply the adhesive and carefully smooth the product to avoid air bubbles. Proper seam treatment is crucial to prevent damp from tracking through. For maximum damp resistance, consider applying two layers of Wallrock Dampstop Thermic or overlap seams for added protection. After application, allow the surface to dry thoroughly before decorating.
Application as a Thermal Reflector
If using Wallrock Thermic as a thermal reflector, the process is the same as for a damp barrier. For optimal performance, leave the reflective surface uncovered. This method works well behind radiators and appliances, as it maximizes heat reflection back into the room.
Important Safety Information
The foil surface of Dampstop Thermic is conductive. Take care to avoid contact with live wires during and after installation. Always use Wallrock Dampstop Thermic Adhesive when applying any additional wallcoverings for best results.
