Lime Render Southwest

Damp Proofing Systems

Overview

Lime Render Southwest specialises in comprehensive damp proofing systems, employing breathable tanking slurry in tandem with two coats of rendering plaster to address moisture-related challenges in buildings. Our expert team understands the importance of preserving the breathability of structures, especially in older or historic properties. The application of breathable tanking slurry acts as a protective barrier, preventing dampness from penetrating while allowing the building to breathe naturally.

Following this, our skilled craftsmen apply two coats of rendering plaster, ensuring a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish. This multi-layered approach not only safeguards the structure against damp issues but also contributes to the overall longevity of the building. Lime Render Southwest's commitment to quality and attention to detail makes us a trusted choice for clients seeking effective and breathable damp proofing solutions tailored to their specific needs.

What is Tanking Slurry?

Breathable tanking slurry is a type of waterproofing material used in construction to create a waterproof barrier on surfaces like walls and floors, particularly in areas that may be exposed to moisture or water. The term "breathable" indicates that the material allows some degree of water vapour to pass through it while still providing a waterproof seal. This can be important in certain applications where moisture might be present on both sides of the barrier, allowing it to escape gradually without causing damage to the structure.

Tanking slurries are typically applied as a liquid mixture that dries to form a waterproof membrane. They are commonly used in below-ground structures like basements, tunnels, and swimming pools, as well as in other areas prone to water exposure.

It's worth noting that specific formulations and application methods can vary between different brands and manufacturers, so it's important to follow the product's instructions for proper use. If you're planning to use breathable tanking slurry for a specific project, it's recommended to consult with a construction professional or supplier who is knowledgeable about the specific product and its application.
