Installation
Aquaban is installed from the outside and stops the penetrating damp before it even gets into your walls. Due to the external application there is :
- No internal mess
- No plaster removal
- No contractors traipsing through your house
- No dust or debris
- Two days or less installation time
Aquaban can be applied to buildings constructed from a range of building materials including:
- Porous brickwork,
- Cement renderings,
- Cement and mineral boards,
- Unglazed tiles,
- Cast concrete,
- Roughcast, stonework
- Limestone and even Wood.
Surfaces treated with Aquaban remain permeable to vapour so that moisture already within the wall/structure can breathe and escape, however external water from rain etc simply beads up and falls off the surface like water off a duck’s back!
Damp walls are cold walls!
If your walls are unprotected, harsh weather such as rain, sleet, snow falling/blowing against the surfaces, soaks into the brickwork/masonry, this is called ‘penetrating damp’. Once the masonry is damp the thermal conductivity becomes greater, therefore carrying cold/icy temperatures from outside through your walls more readily. Once the cold air/moisture chills the walls through it will reduce the temperatures on the internal surfaces effectively turning the internal faces of your rooms into giant refrigerators and lowering the internal temperature – result is that you have to turn the heating up to keep the house warm and therefore start burning more money and worsening your carbon footprint.
10 Year Guarantee
A Professionally applied, multi-coat application of the Aquaban System comes with a written 10 year no quibble guarantee.
Skilled operatives can apply two coats of Aquaban to the external areas of a standard three bed semi-detached house typically in under two days. There is no mess internally and the system starts to work immediately following application. Firstly, the ambient moisture levels of the masonry should reduce over a short period of time and moisture from rain etc will be prevented from entering the masonry and re-wetting.
End result – drier warmer feeling walls which can last for over 10 years.
With the cost of supply and application to a standard 3 bed semi coming in at around £800 and a detached house at around £1200 (depending on the size of the property and access) can you afford not to do it?
