## Description

Product description Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods Produced by Safeguard Europe Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are developed and produced by Safeguard Europe, the UK's leading developer, manufacturer & supplier of damp-proofing and waterproofing materials to the construction industry. Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods eliminate rising damp without the need for specialist equipment. Simply drill and install. Eliminate Rising Damp in Three Simple Steps Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods are patented fiber rods that carry a powerful water-repellent material. They are simply inserted into holes drilled at regular intervals along a mortar course. Once inserted, the rods diffuse their water-repellent material along the mortar course, curing to form an effective barrier to rising damp. They have been scientifically proven to eliminate rising damp even in highly-saturated walls. This performance has also been internationally tested and approved. Eliminates rising damp without needing specialist pumps or injection tools Simple installation procedure - Just drill, clear and install Outperforms competing treatments, even in highly-saturated walls 100% active ingredient patented technology Extensively tested and internationally approved Three Simple Steps to a Damp-Free Wall 1. Drill A row of holes should be drilled at 4¾" intervals along the mortar course using a ½" drill bit. For standard 9" thick walls, the drill hole depth should be 8¼". 2. Clear Excess debris should be cleared from the hole using a Dryrod Hole Clearing Tool or a suitable vacuum cleaner. 3. Install Insert a single Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rod into each hole, ensuring that they are recessed approximately ¼" from the brick face without forcing the rod into the hole. Dryrods Deliver the Correct Dose Every Time Traditional rising damp treatment methods utilize cream or liquid injection. These methods can be prone to operator error leading to under-treatment and DPC failure. Due to their unique patented design, Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods deliver the correct dose of active ingredient every time. Extensively Tested. BBA & WTA Certified In laboratory testing has proven that Dryrod Damp-Proofing Rods out-perform competing treatment methods, even in highly-saturated walls and freezing temperatures. They have also been approved by the British Board of Agrement and the German WTA organization. BBA Agrément Certificate: 97/3363 Product Sheet 6. Date of Third issue: 30 August 2018 WTA Certificate Number: PB 5.1/16-218-1. Valid until: July 2020
