Phil provides a comprehensive walkthrough of the application process, highlighting the significance of using the DampStop adhesive for both the initial WallRock DampStop paper and subsequent lining or wallpaper you'll be hanging over the DampStop Thermic (foil lining).
Phil emphasizes the effectiveness of WallRock DampStop Thermic in combating damp issues on walls (remember, you may need to source where the damp or problem is coming from first) . This product not only prevent moisture from seeping through but also provide thermal insulation, making them an ideal choice for enhancing the energy efficiency of a space.
To begin, Phil explains that it is crucial to use the specially formulated DampStop adhesive to hang the WallRock DampStop paper. He emphasizes that no other paste will adhere to the silver side of the DampStop paper, ensuring a secure and long-lasting bond.
Moreover, Phil advises viewers to continue using the DampStop adhesive for any subsequent lining or wallpaper applications on the silver side of the DampStop. This step is crucial to maintain the overall effectiveness of the system and ensure proper adhesion.
By following Phil's expert guidance, viewers gain a thorough understanding of the importance of using WallRock DampStop Thermic, as well as the necessity of utilizing the DampStop adhesive for both initial and subsequent applications. This video serves as a valuable resource for achieving professional results and tackling damp issues in a practical and efficient manner.

@stevesvids 5 месяцев назад

Many of these type of problems are due to the wall temperature being cold which attracts condensation. Micro condensation can form within the structure giving the appearance of stains emerging. Its not always a dampness problem coming through the wall. This seems a good product in that it will keep the surfaces warmer and resist moisture / vapour penetrating through to the structure where it would condense. I recently surveyed an old Victorian property where they experience mould growth in all rooms where there is an external wall. Its the temperature of the wall structure that causes their issue along with drying clothes for a family of 5 indoors. Its a battle of physics.

@wandalloyd2206 15 дней назад

Thanks for this, I’ve got moisture patches slowly developing on the inside corner of one chimney breast then another small patch inside an upstairs bedroom wall. Its a 1950’s house with a new roof. There’s no mould developing, it just feels damp to the touch. A specialist damp company said the wall is absorbing moisture from the inside. They suggested they’d replaster over these areas at a cost of £3,000! Think I’ll give this a try as the areas are relatively small.

Follow my instructions. It'll save a few quid for now. Make sure you use the adhesive paste for the damp stop and wall rock fibre lining over it.

We use this stuff all the time, real game changer, we do a lot of regen works in a lot of social housing and almost all properties have damp issues on the breast, although we have used the standard thermic adhesive in the past and are yet to see any damp return through and zero peeling issues and have never overlapped either unless we come to a corner that the thermic can’t be manipulated due to out of square, we don’t always use the fibre liner either depending on quality of the plaster we use a standard wall doctor blown vinyl which also works well for us too

@0skar9193 Год назад

Interesting product and I'm a big fan of Wallrock products. Surely the correct thing to do is to remedy the damp coming down the chimney? Also, I was always told that any damp in walls - especially in these older houses - the wall needs to breathe to allow any damp/moisture out? By trapping the damp/moisture in it will just move to another area to find it's way out.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Год назад

It's not damp coming down the chimney, it's the sulphur from the soot penetrating through the brick. You see it on a lot of old properties as it shows the line of the chimney on the outside wall.

@weejim48 7 месяцев назад

Not going to slag this product off because I don’t know anything about it. However, I do know about buildings. Condensation is a big problem in lots of houses and generally for a couple of reasons. First off, people will air clothes on radiators, that’s a very bad thing to do because the moisture has to go somewhere. Because houses are double glazed and sealed tight as a drum it cannot get out so it goes to the coldest part of the room. Second, houses used to have chimneys, these chimneys were the lungs of the house. If the house can’t breathe then you are going to get condensation. The answer is Ventilation and keep your laundry outside as much as possible. Hope everyone suffering with this problem gets it sorted because it can be a nightmare. 👍👍

@bernardrevill9547 6 месяцев назад

I live in a victorian property. You are correct about condensation, but a good dehumidifier will cure that. They are also solid walls, so any damaged bricks, pointing, or limestone lintels will let water access the interior. The best way to combat this is to fit a dry wall system using thermal plasterboard. The problem with increasing ventilation is that it makes the house colder, which forces people to turn up the heating, which in turn creates more condensation. These types of products are just like putting a sticking plaster over a broken bone.

@juddrolfe Год назад

Another great vid mate. I totally understand why you have used this product in this scenario, however, my only concern regarding its damp proof qualities is, as we all know if you seal damp in, it will only travel along the wall till it finds a way out. I've been decorating 30+ yrs and never had to use the old style foil paper, so very interesting 👍🏻

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Год назад

How have you gone 30yrs and not used damp foil? LoL I'll ask, what is the alternative to protect finished wallpaper from historical damp?

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I've come across it, just never had a job where I had to do it!😆 Like I said, I can understand why you have used it in this context, but honestly if the customer asked for wallpaper on a damp wall I'd advise them against it. Given the prices of wallpaper we're hanging these days, I'd be terrified I'll get a call in 6 months! Not saying you are wrong, or knocking what you are doing, just a theoretical question.

Bit of advice to all. If there's evidence of damp, and i mean no offence in saying this, do not ask a decorator for advice. If you do and the answer is words to the effect of thats not in my skill set then he's a keeper. Sticking, pasting or painting anything over damp is usually holding back the inevitable, which is further works including the removal of whatever the decorator may have done. Nuff said

@straty5598 5 месяцев назад

@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorFirst I would say good on you for searching out and finding a product that gets the job done, it's all any of us want to do. I'm not an expert but have been in the building trade for many years now and I have seen many attempts to hold back the dreaded damp. I'd say more often than not the damp reappears somewhere, somehow. Unless the root cause is found and fixed all any of these quick fixes are doing is hiding a problem that is most likely getting worse, possibly tracking into areas it didn't previously affect. I mean no offence in making these comments but damp is the bane of many a builder and decorators lives and masking it rather than diagnosing and fixing it is, if you're lucky, going to see the money going in the bank once the job's completed but expect a phone call at some point. Unfortunately the next problem is finding a trustworthy damp proofing expert with a reliable method of fixing the issue. More often than not the problem is being masked not fixed by these guys, making more mess and making more money than using your method. It is a minefield and I accept that I haven't brought much to the table regarding solutions but I see this on a regular basis, I swear my bad neck is due to shaking my head at people pretending to know how to fix this problem.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 7 месяцев назад

Yes. You may need to skim out the ridge edge that will show under the lining paper though. Do it after the silver damp stop is on and dried, or once you've the lining paper on. It will depend on what your plans are for decorating. If Painting it, you may want to do it before the lining is on so you don't get a difference in surface between smooth filler and the slight texture of the lining paper.

Use an Anti Condensation paint or an Acrylic Thermal Paint, over the top of a thermal wallpaper, I used the Acrylic Thermal Paint over the top of the original white emulation paint, then put the card style thermal wallpaper over the top (Bought from Scew Fix) then I over painted this with the Acrylic Thermal paint & it has made a big difference to the guest room! I fitted a far infrared heater panel, before I did this work on the 2 outer facing walls, & it worked well, but the room didn't retain the hear very well (like yours same wall style) But after doing the above, it retains the heat very well indeed 👍 I suppose you could use the paper here, also but not sure if you'd need something over the top of the silver side, before painting the second layer of Acrylic Thermal paint (2 coats on the wall/ Then Thermal Paper/ Then 2 coats of the Acrylic Thermal paint on top of the paper, both painted horizontal then vertical 👍) It has made a big difference & no more condensation or mold!

@ellingtonlover7319 8 месяцев назад

Absolutely brilliant video and superb instruction. I have however a recommendation to make, if possible, I would advise you to put the words, ‘removal of’ followed by something like, 'salt on walls,' 'salt coming through walls,' and ‘efflorescence on walls’ as I have watched a lot of videos over the months, stating things like just swipe/rinse it off, use white vinegar and baking soda, place a primer over it, perform Himalayan Chants, all which provide temporary solutions because after redecorating, the salt comes back and the paint starts peeling off again. A really frustrating experience. Two question please, can I apply this directly to a painted wall that has been sanded down or does it have to be applied to a skimmed wall and could I lightly skim over it after applying the 2nd thermal liner? Again, great content and superb presentation and thank you for taking the time to do this. I hope you get more views and subs as you deserve to.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 8 месяцев назад

I remember an exam question at college 30 odd years ago and it asked what do you do with efflorescence on a wall to remove it (the salt deposits). The answer was use a stiff brush and brush it off as it. (I knew the answer) One of the other students said wash it off with water.... Which defeats the object of trying to dry off the wall. Clearly you need to see where the damp comes from, but in old properties it's one of those mysteries you may never get to to bottom of. Right, clean down your wall and apply the damp stop like I have. Once dry. Go over with the wall rock, like I did. Btw.. it does help if you prime OVER the damp stop with some of the adhesive, thinned down and allow to dry before you apply the WallRock lining paper No need to skim over it just get it a painted.

In that case I would have the area with wallrock silver and line paper sticking out to the rest of the wall. Before using the wallrock damp stop I brought the area back to the plaster and by applying the wallrock damp stop I am now at level with the rest of the wall, so I really can't add any other layer.

Hi! Excellent vid. We live in an old stone house with a brick front. The whole house was rendered with concrete in the 70s we think. We’re working on some drainage issues around the house which is causing the worst rising damp! Once the house has dried out fully in one or two summers (if we’ve sorted the drainage properly) I’m thinking we’ll do this, or it’s external insulation which will mean knocking off the exterior render and it’s expensive. Anyway, I’m going off on one - what I’d like to know is: as it’s an old house, the walls are well wonky! A feature I am fond of. Would the wall rock be easy to apply onto that or would it be a real b**ch? Would air gaps in the dips and troughs in the walls be an issue in terms of trapped condensation? Hope I’m making sense!

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 12 дней назад

How bad are the walls, it may mold in. Or how about using the plaster multi finish and skim them out to improve them ready for hanging the damp stop? Check that video out.

If your house is a solid brick wall then you will.need to remove the cement render and replace with a lime render, this will then stop.uour damp issues. Your issue is the cement render and modern materials being used internally stopping your house from "breathing".

@rosywhitehead2137 2 дня назад

@@windsorblade76 it’s a lime stone house but the front of the house is brick. We did all the research and all we could afford to do. The lime plaster was still present on the inside but some got wet and crumbled away so we replaced it with lime again. The paint we used on top is of clay. The inside is basically what it’s always been and repaired respectfully. The outside was rendered with concrete in the 70s. When we were re-rendering/plastering the inside was we noticed that that render was actually filling holes between stones and even some bricks in the front wall!!!! So we won’t be removing the outside render. We have found that the gutter pipe drainage doesn’t go down a pipe any more but straight into the soil along where the one side of the house is wet. Further down that wall we have discovered that our kitchen drainage AND the water pipes are leaking. The previous owner planted trees and plants right up against that wall and as far as we’ve checked, there’s no rubble to help the water drain down. The drainage is the only issue we can address and it’s the only one we really have a issue with. Since we can’t remove the render, I figure that a modernised drainage system, underfloor heating and (once the walls have dried out) internal insulation - OR “damp stop” - would be the only options left. Hope you were hanging on through all that 😆 of you were, would you have any advice relating to all of that? My thanks
