Safeguard Europe – the UK’s leading specialist in damp-proofing and
waterproofing technology – has created a compact kit form of its Drybase range
which is ideal for tackling smaller areas of hard-to-treat damp; or as a handy
‘on the van’ option for instant use.
The Drybase range has been designed to provide a
comprehensive and effective damp-proofing solution when the circumstances do
not lend themselves to usual remedies.
A collection of
damp-proof coverings, coatings and membranes; the Drybase range aims to provide
solutions to a wide range of dampness issues, whether in small residential
properties through to larger industrial facilities.
The kit form of
Drybase simply comprises a 3m roll of Drybase Flex Membrane and a 10kg bag of
Drybase Flex Adhesive – just the right amount to fix the membrane provided.
Drybase Flex Membrane is a highly durable and flexible
membrane for direct application to walls that have been affected by dampness
and salt contamination. The fleece lined membrane can be quickly and easily
applied to walls using the specially formulated adhesive. It can be plastered
onto directly creating a versatile solution to the problem of damp walls, when
it is not possible to stop the damp at its source.
Other products in the Drybase range include Drybase
Liquid-Applied DPM and Drybase ECS Epoxy Floor Coatings and Drybase Flex
Membrane.
Drybase Liquid-Applied DPM is a liquid, polymer-based
barrier coating that can be used to resist penetration of water, gases – such
as methane and Radon – salts and other liquids through masonry, stone and
concrete.
Examples
of typical applications would be sealing concrete slabs prior to screeding or
overlaying with underlay and laminate flooring; protecting wall and
floor-embedded joist ends; and forming floor and wall junction seals in wet
rooms. Its liquid form allows it to also be applied by brush – making it ideal
for waterproofing around masonry detailing and other hard-to-reach areas.
ECS Epoxy Floor Coating is a highly durable damp-proof
epoxy coating for floors and walls from. Supplied as a two-part
water-dispersed epoxy resin, Drybase ECS Epoxy
Floor Coating is applied in two coats using a brush or roller.
Hard-wearing, stain resistant and able to withstand
foot and light vehicle traffic; typical applications for Drybase ECS Epoxy
Floor Coating would be treating damp and staining problems in solid concrete
floors (eg garage floors); floor and wall coating for kitchens
and food-processing spaces; warehousing and storage; and light industrial
units. Surface finish appearance reflects the texture and nature of the
substrate.
The Drybase collection offers a wide range of
practical solutions and applications when it is necessary to apply damp-proof
barriers over floors and walls; particularly when it is difficult to create or
reinstate damp-proof courses or tackle penetrating damp because of, for
example, access issues.
Safeguard Europe’s range of market-leading, proven
damp-proofing solutions is supported by the company’s own highly qualified and
experienced staff. The support and know-how they offer is extended to
contractors, specifiers and property owners and includes technical advice,
specification help, research and even in-house laboratory analysis of plaster and masonry.
