Damp Wall Waterproofing Garage and Basement Paints
Limited airflow in rooms such as basements can cause mould to grow due to the damp surface. When this happens, a strong waterproofing paint is required to prevent the growth of mould and unsightly looking walls.
As it so happens, we have a range of solutions here to help you in your quest for a cleaner looking basement. Anti-fungal paints and coatings can be used to protect the surface from the growth of mould and products like Zinsser Water-Tite can be used to hold back the water pressure. Rustoleum Durbocem is an ideal solution for damp walls and surfaces too.
Durbocem has long been regarded as one of the best basement paints around. Once applied, it still allows the surface to breathe assuming all other existing paints and loose debris have been removed appropriately.
Improving your Property with Protective Paint
The garage and basement paints found within this section provide the answer to those of you looking to convert or improve existing cellars, garages or basements. These rooms in particular can be subject to flooding and wet areas, which can play a massive role in the deterioration of surfaces.
Areas of flooding or with a high water table create negative hydrostatic pressure, which is water pressure pushing at the paint coating from behind. When this happens, the coating can bubble, blister and flake. Coatings with poor adhesion properties will blister and ruin the look of your basement.
It’s important that the wall is clean and any loose material has been removed to ensure an effective renovation. Render additives such as Sika-1 can be mixed in with screeds in order to create a waterproofing layer. Mapei products such as Mapeplastic (which can also be used in Swimming Pools) are often used for basement projects.
