A New revolutionay solution for renovating and waterproofing old listed and heritage buildings, cellars and basements
So what is it, and what makes it special?
The plaster is a high quality, cement/lime based, fibre reinforced, rendering and plastering mortar for masonary, that meets the requirements of BS EN998-1. Supplied as ready mixed powder it is water and damp proof, vapour and air-permeable.
Special components added to the basic ingredients result in a radically different product, with key differences that set it apart from conventional plaster. Most noticeable is its ultra fine powder consistency - similar to that of high quality talcum powder. Not surprisingly the formula is a well kept secret. All the elements used to produce the plaster are high grade and the manufacturing process itself is strictly controlled, with regular sampling procedures in place, so quality standards are maintained.
Where can it be applied?
Izonil plaster can be used on many conventional masonry such as brick, stone, blockwork and concrete as well as on cob walls and wood laths in 15 to 30mm thickness. It is therefore ideal for renovating and waterproofing old, listed and heritage buildings, cellars and basements. It provides a long lasting solution to problems caused by driven rain or rising damp.
Applications include restoration and new render work where it can be used to protect against damage caused by flooding. It is especially suitable for use in bathrooms, showers, wet-rooms and swimming pools or for rendering external walls, facades and plinths.
How do I use the product?
Application is easy and no special tools, skills or training are required. Mixing requires 4 to 5 litres of water per 25 kg bag of plaster and three to five minutes agitation until the mixture becomes smooth. Mixing can be by hand or by machine. It is important not to add anything else to the mix. the mix can be applied by trowel or mortar gun and the working time is approximately one to three hours, depending on ambient conditions.
Approximately 18kg of dry mortar will cover 1m2 at15mm thick, excluding allowances for loss wastage, surface profile and porosity. One 25kg bag will cover up to 1,4m2 with a 15mm thick layer. The plaster must be cured for approximately eoght hours between layers to prevent it from drying too quickly.
The final layer may be painted with air-permeable whitewash; or silicate paint only where rising damp is a problem. Although the plaster is waterproof without tiles these may be applied to the final layer.
