Wallrock DampStop Thermic Lining Paper

Description

Wallrock DampStop Thermic lining paper is designed to combat the appearance of unsightly penetrating damp stains by forming an effective damp barrier. Dampstop is supplied in extra wide rolls to reduce the amount of seams making it easier to contain the damp with fewer joints.

Rather than using paper based material Wallrock Dampstop Thermic utilises a very tough, strong, rot and salt resistant polypropylene backing bonded to a water resistant metallic barrier, providing a long service life even in very challenging conditions.

Leaving the Dampstop Thermic surface exposed will also improve the reflection of heat in to rooms, making the product especially useful in improving energy efficiency in the home when used behind radiators and appliances.

Each Roll covers 5 sqm extra wide rolls of 675mm which helps contain damp with fewer joints. Recommended for use with Wallrock Dampstop Thermic Adhesive.

Each roll requires 1kg of Wallrock Dampstop Adhesive 

So, why Dampstop Thermic?

Not only does it stop the unsightly damp and associated stains, if the composite, thermic, metallic surface is left exposed, it will also greatly enhance the reflection of heat into the room – making the product especially useful in improving energy efficiency in the home when used behind radiators and appliances.

Application

1. Remove loose or flaky material from the wall surface as well as any projections that may rupture the Dampstop Thermic, fill any holes with a suitable filler. The surface may need priming if excessively porous or absorbent: we recommend diluting Dampstop Adhesive 1:1 with water to form a primer, allow to dry thoroughly.
2. Brush the adhesive onto the wall over a slightly wider area than the Dampstop Thermic strip – you will need typically 160-250ml per square metre depending on the condition of the wall. The adhesive must be applied evenly.
3. Apply Dampstop Thermic directly to the pasted surface – black side to the wall.
   NB. Using a wallpaper hanging brush carefully remove any air bubbles, brushing from the centre outwards, ensuring there are no wrinkles or air pockets remaining as they will not dissipate during the drying process.
4. When applying multiple lengths we recommend butted joints are used as follows:
   Ensure Dampstop Thermic Adhesive is applied liberally and evenly at the butt joint to reduce the possibility of damp tracking through seams. This technique is adequate to combat small localised damp problems.
5. In the event the maximum possible damp resistance is required we recommend 2 layers of Dampstop Thermic are applied being careful to ensure the seams are offset with the layer beneath.
6. Once complete allow to dry thoroughly – 48 hours may be sufficient but much longer may be required as the foil surface will slow down the drying process.
7. Once thoroughly dry, we recommend the treated area is thoroughly checked to ensure that Dampstop Thermic is fully bonded.
