Damp Proof: a premium moisture barrier for walls affected by rising damp

Rhinoluxe Damp Proof is a deep-penetrating moisture barrier for interior and exterior walls affected by rising damp. It soaks into the plaster and masonry, resists damp transferring through to the paint film, and blocks the visible stains that damp leaves behind. Made for South African homes where rising damp lifts paint and marks walls, it gives a treated base ready for a durable topcoat.

Key Benefits

  • Deep penetrating. Soaks into plaster and masonry rather than sitting only on the surface.
  • Resists damp transfer. Slows moisture moving through the wall to the paint layer.
  • Blocks visible stains. Helps stop damp marks and salting bleeding through the finish.
  • Interior and exterior. Suitable for walls inside and outside the home.
  • Paintable base. Creates a treated surface for a quality wall topcoat.

Technical Overview

Damp Proof works as a penetrating moisture barrier. It is absorbed into the porous wall surface and forms a resistant layer within the substrate that limits how easily moisture from rising damp reaches the decorative coating. By reducing that moisture path and locking in staining salts, it protects the topcoat from the blistering, peeling and brown marks typical of untreated damp walls.

Technical Guidance

Identify and address the source of the rising damp before coating, so the treatment is not fighting an active leak. Remove blistered paint, salts and loose plaster back to a sound surface. Apply Damp Proof to the bare wall and let it penetrate and dry, then follow with a primer and topcoat such as Shield. Severe structural damp may need a physical damp-proof course as well.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question

  • What sizes does Damp Proof come in?

    Damp Proof is available in 5L and 20L.

  • Why does paint keep peeling on a damp wall?

    Moisture and salts from rising damp push the paint off the wall. Treating the wall with Damp Proof reduces that moisture path and locks in the salts.

  • Can I paint over Damp Proof?

    Yes, once it has penetrated and dried, apply a primer and a wall topcoat such as Shield.

  • Can I treat rising damp on internal walls?

    Yes, Damp Proof works on interior and exterior walls affected by rising damp.

  • Does Damp Proof paint stop rising damp?

    Damp Proof resists damp transferring to the topcoat and blocks staining, but it is not a substitute for fixing the cause. Severe structural damp may also need a physical damp-proof course.

  • How do I treat rising damp on a wall?

    Fix the source of the damp first, then apply Damp Proof as a penetrating moisture barrier before priming and painting.
