What are the types of damp and waterproofing paints?

Damp-blocking paints.

• Damp-proof paints for walls and floors.
• Epoxy floor paint.
• Tanking slurries.
• Roof sealer paints.

The following waterproofing paints cure to form damp-proof membranes.

Technoseal is a multi-purpose liquid-damp-proofing membrane. Two coats of it provide a seamless waterproof barrier. Use it internally to cover brick, block and concrete. It is ideal for areas with constant water contact, such as under bathroom tiles or screeds. You can also use it on wood for damp-proofing the ends of timber joists.

Our epoxy floor paint is water-based. The two-coat system comprises a primer and top coat. Use it to cover concrete floors in commercial and industrial areas. It cures to form a tough, high-quality finish. The waterproof epoxy paint enhances resistance to abrasion and damage from chemical spills.

Two coats of a paint-on tanking slurry form a watertight barrier by blocking masonry pores. Use slurries with a stiff brush to tank cellars and basements. Once set, the tanking prevents water from seeping through porous masonry.

Weatherproof roof paint waterproofs leaky roofs and gutters. It instantly seals in one coat, whether the surface is damp or dry. The paint's polymers and fibres enhance its flexural strength.

Anti-condensation paints.

• Condensation-resisting paints for walls and ceilings.
• Anti-mould additives for paint.

Thermal-dry anti-condensation paint is an emulsion with hollow glass beads. The micro-spheres work as tiny thermos flasks to keep wall surfaces warmer. Use it to lower the risk of condensation. It reduces the chances of mould growth.

Add anti-mould paint treatment to emulsion and gloss paints to make an anti-fungal coating. It protects damp walls and ceilings against black mould in areas at risk of condensation. The mould-resistant paint is ideal for homes and social housing. Add the liquid to wallpaper paste and tiling grout in rooms with excess humidity.

Breathable wall coatings.

• Water repellents for brick and masonry.

Paint-on water-repellent cream protects external walls from water and frost damage. The siloxane-based paint soaks into brick, stone and mortar. It dries to an invisible finish that retains the masonry's natural look and breathability. The silicone lines masonry pores and stops moisture absorption. The coated pores bar moisture movement but allow vapour through. The external damp-proof paint prevents water penetration from wind-driven rain and floods. At the same time, the breathable brickwork permits water in the walls to evaporate.
