When Masonry Gets Wet, It Gets Cold
…and cold walls means cold buildings
Stormy masonry protection cream
When masonry gets wet, it gets cold… and cold walls mean cold buildings as heat escapes much more readily.
Protect your home from penetrating damp and increase the thermal efficiency of masonry with Stormdry.
With its unique colourless cream formula, a simple one-coat application will protect brick, stone and concrete from rain penetration for 20-30 years, whilst allowing the masonry to breathe and retain its original looks and features.
The Problem – Wet Masonry
When walls get wet, their thermal resistance tumbles and valuable heat escapes. They become less effective at keeping heat in.
Even when cavity wall insulation is installed, damp bricks drastically reduce the thermal performance of the wall.
So what can be done?
Tried and Tested on > 50 Substrates
Stormydry Masonry Protection Cream has been laboratory tested on a largerange of different materials and has been proven to significantly reduce water absorption on more than 50 substrates. The graph below shows the reduction in water absorption rates, on common building materials, after treatment.

The Solution – Stormdry
*University of Portsmouth
Stormdry is a colourless*, breathable, water-repellent treatment for brick, concrete, and stone walls. It is supplied in the form of a deeply penetrating ‘cream’ that is applied to the wall surface in a single coat using a roller or brush. Once Stormdry has been applied it will permeate deeply into the masonry before curing to form a water-repellent barrier.
Improving the thermal performance
of masonry
Testwork carried out by the University of Portsmouth has shown that the treatment of brickwork with Stormdry reduces conductive heat loss by a factor of two. Tests on a model house treated with Stormdry show a 29% reduction in heating energy.
The energy and carbon savings made possible by Stormdry have now been independently verified in a study carried out by Giraffe Innovation environmental consultants. A copy of the report is available at www.stormdry.com.
Up to 35% of all heat loss on a building can occur through single skin walls.

Stormdry® Waterproofs Walls
Stormdry® Masonry Protection Cream is a silane/siloxane cream emulsion. It is applied to brick, stone, render and masonry walls using a brush, roller or airless sprayer.
Once applied, the cream will absorb into and bond with the building materials, making them waterproof without changing their appearance.
The treated wall is still vapour-permeable, meaning damp walls can dry out and buildings are able to breathe.
A single coat of Stormdry® Masonry Protection Cream can protect walls from rain penetration for 25 years
Allows Damp Walls to Dry Out
A Stormdry® treated wall is still breathable. It lines the pores of masonry materials, instead of blocking them. This means that even though the entry of liquid water is blocked, water vapour is able to freely pass through the wall, allowing any residual moisture to evaporate and the wall to dry out. This makes Stormdry® ideal for application in situations where it will aid the drying process, such as the protection of compromised cavity wall insulation.t
A Wet Wall is a Cold Wall
Stormdry® Masonry Protection Cream stops rain penetrating external walls, keeping them warm and dry. The Energy Saving Trust has granted Stormdry® verified status, as high levels of moisture in the masonry, such as those in exposed locations, will lose heat faster than dry walls. Keeping walls dry by applying Stormdry® will maximise their thermal performance.
