Transparent insulating protection
SecoTHERM is developed to the highest standards and is the ultimate weather protection for bare masonry walls (stone, bare substrate & brick). Water absorption can be minimised dramatically by having SecoTHERM installed on your property.
SecoTHERM has been tested to EN ISO 15148:2002 standards, demonstrating its hygrothermal performance on concrete, mortar, brick and sandstone.
Why Does SecoTHERM Masonry Paint Work?
Imagine taking a hot dish out of the oven with a wet tea towel… You will burn your hands very quickly; we’ve all done it! If that same tea towel was dry, then you could handle the hot dish. This is because heat can transfer through materials that are wet nearly 3x faster than dry this is the basic science that can happen to our homes.
Wet walls = Colder buildings
Wet bricks convey heat faster than dry bricks, resulting in higher energy bills which is important as 35% or more of our heat is lost through our walls.
Our unique transparent masonry paint, SecoTHERM guarantees to slow down this process, lowers thermal conductivity and protects the building.
Damp Cavity Wall Insulation
The cavity wall design was actually first introduced as a measure against water ingress around the 1890’s and slowly became the accepted norm over the next few decades. The outer ‘leaf’, which can be water permeable acts to shield but not always stop wind driven rain, especially in more severe areas in the UK. The need for energy conservation in the 70’s/80’s made this cavity a convenient location to fill with insulation. Now all new build cavity walls contain insulation and many millions of homes with walls that originally were built with empty cavities have had retrofit insulation, which is a potential risk!
Penetrating Damp
As the image above shows how moisture can become an issue for cavity wall insulation in your property. In certain circumstances a spell of rain could place more water stress on the insulation beyond the testing parameters the companies would of done initially getting their products approved. This means damp can penetrate into the building causing condensation, mould growth and damage to decoration. If you view the image on the right with SecoTHERM applied the property will protect and even allow the insulation to dry out due to its hydrophobic properties being waterproof and breathable!
SecoTHERM comes with a 20 year manufacturers guarantee as standard!
Traditional solutions for protecting the fabric of properties against damp have been unsatisfactory, often expensive and disruptive. Cheaper alternatives tend to be ineffective and to have short lifespans.
Vapour Permeable
SecoTHERM allows the walls to still breathe!
The video shows a pourus piece of masonry coated in SecoTHERM, it will not let water through but allows the air to pass through!
