is ideal for cutting Dryrod DPC Rods to size. The cutter has a protective cap for the pointed blade and A selection of Dryzone System tools is available from Safeguard to make the installation of our rising damp renovation range even easier. Each tool in the selection has been specifically selected or developed to work with Dryzone System rising damp renovation materials. Dryrod Cutting Tool Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream solves many of the problems that were inherent in pressure-injection rising damp treatments. It requires no expensive specialist equipment to buy or maintain, the material itself is not hazardous or caustic and it does not require constant attention once the application has begun.

Dryshield Cream may also act as a primer for Drygrip Adhesive. The adhesive has been developed for ‘dab’ fixing plasterboard directly to masonry surfaces. It forms a strong and long-lasting bond and is resistant to both salts and damp. Drygrip Adhesive is a salt and damp resistant glue for the purpose of fixing plasterboard directly to masonry surfaces. It is used after the application of Dryshield Cream to a wall that has been treated for rising damp, using Dryzone Damp-Proofing Cream. Drygrip is also an effective general use adhesive. Why Drygrip is Required Internally applied thermal insulation isolates the heated interior from the masonry, which will therefore be cold, producing a risk of interstitial condensation behind the thermal insulation; to prevent that, an AVCL should be applied on the warm side of the thermal insulation. This is especially true when a high performance damp-proofing solution like Dryzone or Dryrod has been used, where the treatment of rising damp is far more consistent and effective than what can be achieved by pressure injected fluids or low strength creams. Due to the superior performance of the damp-proof course, the extra waterproofing qualities of the sand and cement render are often not needed to cover less well treated areas of the wall. The guidance given in BS 5250:2011 “Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings” should be followed with particular reference to sections G.3.1.4 “Solid masonry wall – Internal insulation” and G.3.2.4 “Masonry wall with cavity – Internal insulation”:Most modern properties are built with a damp-proof course, usually in the form of an impermeable plastic membrane, which is placed along a mortar line near the ground. Some properties, however, were built with no damp-proof course, or the original has failed, meaning that rising damp can occur and it is necessary to make remedial repairs. Dryzone to the Rescue

All choices regarding the type of system to use with any individual job, however, should be made with the advice of a professional. Certain jobs may be inappropriate for the Dryzone Express Replastering System, or for certain types of plasterboard. It is important to choose the correct materials and methods for each individual job. The sand and cement render, that is conventionally used to combat these salts, usually contains a salt retardant additive such as Renderguard Gold. This additive stops salts migrating from the affected wall and into the new plaster, which is applied on top of the render. The additive also provides additional waterproofing qualities to the render, helping to protect the new plaster from residual moisture in the wall. mm × 5.5 mm plastic positioning plugs. They are used to set the air gap between the board and the wall before the Dryzone Adhesive cures.
