FAQs

How much Dryzone cream do I need?

One 310ml cartridge covers roughly 1.7 linear meters for a 9" thick wall. Calculate the total length of the wall to be treated to determine how many cartridges you will need.

Can I use Dryzone on any type of wall?

It is suitable for brick, stone, and rubble walls. Always check that the wall materials are compatible and follow the product's instructions. The product is not designed for all damp problems.

How long does Dryzone take to work?

The cream takes time to spread and cure. You should see results within a few weeks, but the full drying process may take several months, depending on the wall's thickness and saturation level.

Is Dryzone safe to use?

Yes, when used according to the instructions. Always wear gloves and eye protection during application. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.

Do I need any special tools?

You will need an applicator gun suitable for 310ml cartridges, a drill, a drill bit of the correct diameter, and appropriate safety gear (gloves, eye protection).

Can I apply Dryzone myself, or do I need a professional?

While DIY application is possible, proper technique is essential. For large or complex projects, or if you are unsure, consider consulting a professional.

What should I do before applying Dryzone?

Remove any existing plaster or wall coverings to expose the mortar bed. Ensure the area is clean and dry before drilling and applying the cream.

Where can I buy Dryzone DPC Cream?

Dryzone DPC Cream is available at various building supply stores and online retailers. Contact the manufacturer to inquire about local stockists.

Troubleshooting

Cream not injecting smoothly.

Check the applicator gun for blockages or mechanical issues. Ensure the nozzle is properly attached to the cartridge.

Dampness persists after treatment.

Verify that the application followed the correct procedures, including proper hole spacing and sufficient cream injection. Check for other sources of dampness, such as penetrating damp.

Cream is not drying clear.

Ensure that the product used is Dryzone DPC cream. Check that the product is within its expiry date. If it still does not dry clear, consult with a professional.

Efflorescence appears on the wall.

This is a common byproduct of rising damp. It should disappear as the wall dries.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Remove any skirting boards, render, or wall coverings to expose the mortar bed.
Drilling: Drill holes horizontally along the mortar bed at intervals recommended by the manufacturer (typically every 12cm or 4.7 inches). Use a drill bit of the correct diameter as indicated in the product instructions.
Injection: Insert the nozzle of the Dryzone cartridge into the applicator gun, and inject the cream into each hole until the mortar is saturated, or until the cream starts to squeeze out from the hole.
Filling Holes: After the cream has been injected, fill the holes with a suitable mortar or sealant.
Reinstatement: Allow the wall to dry completely before re-plastering or re-applying any finishes.

Compatibility: Dryzone DPC Cream is compatible with a wide range of building materials including brick, stone, and various types of mortar. Ensure the product is suitable for the specific wall materials before application.

Care: Store the cartridges in a cool, dry place. Avoid extreme temperatures. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including gloves and eye protection, during application. Dispose of used cartridges responsibly.
