DAMP IN WALL
Dampness in walls is a silent destroyer — leading to peeling paint, mold growth, and a musty odor that affects both aesthetics and hygiene. It’s caused by water infiltration through cracks, poor waterproofing, or rising damp from the foundation. SKOF offers professional-grade solutions that stop dampness at its source.
Why Walls Become Damp
Capillary rise of groundwater through plaster and masonry
Cracks in exterior walls or leaking pipes
Poor-quality waterproofing coatings or absence of damp-proof course
Lack of breathable protective layers
Steps for Effective Damp-Proofing
1. Identify and Remove Damage:
Scrape off affected plaster and clean the wall thoroughly to expose the damp zone.
2. Crystalline Waterproofing:
Apply LOCKDRIP CRYS40-R0, a deep-penetrating crystalline compound that blocks micro-capillaries and prevents moisture movement from within.
3. Surface Coating:
Use ACRYCOTE EC5, an acrylic elastomeric coating that provides flexible, UV-stable protection against rain and humidity.
4. Smooth Finish:
Apply POLYWALL, a premium wall care putty, for a clean, smooth, and durable surface ready for painting.
5. Preventive Maintenance:
Ensure external walls and parapets are coated with SKOFGUARD (W) or similar protective treatments for long-lasting results.
