Those are quite the qualities. It’s no wonder they have supplied the United States Army for over 30 years, and also collaborate with more well-known brands (such as Arc’teryx and GORE-TEX) to provide superior products. Coverage rate– On our north-facing wall (on a 1980s house), Stormdry covered 4.3 metres per litre when we applied it by brush. The roof coating will alsoallow 'flexing' and movement within the roof tile. Technically this is highly important because exposure to heat and cold will cause roof tiles to expand and contract.

Ease of application– We found Stormdry very easy to apply; it was like mayonnaise and adhered to the brush and wall very well and didn’t drip much. We first brushed off any loose dust and then applied the cream using narrow brushes around the window frames and wider brushes on the rest of the wall. We see no reason why the user couldn’t use a roller, but we chose brushes so we could dab the cream into the small indentations and crevices on the wall. One coat is enough. In fact, two coats would be detrimental and potentially leave your wall with staining that is near impossible to remove. How long will Microshield Ultra remain effective for? Brands are increasingly turning to circularity in their supply chain or repurposing old products, something that Climashield has done well with their Climashield ECO range. The combination of making with a purpose and an altruistic ethos is a highly desirable trait of this brand. What is PrimaLoft? Microshield Ultra allows the building to breathe, therefore helping to alleviate condensation build up. As no new rainwater can penetrate the exterior surface, the wall will eventually dry out which in turn will increase the internal surface temperature of the wall and lower the risk of condensation forming. What makes Microshield Ultra different from other water repellent creams on the market? Smartseal's 'Climashield' protective masonry cream is also widely used as an energy saving product. By helping to keep walls dry, thermal efficiency within your household is greatly increased. When used in conjunction with other energy-saving systems, savings as high as 29% can be expected. If used as a stand-alone treatment, average savings of 5-6% per annum on energy bills is realistic.Producttested in accordance with BS EN ISO 4624 and the coating did not come away in any of the tests. In all tests the concrete roof tiles failed due to the pull off load before the coating had an opportunity to come away from the tile. Furthermore, the manufacturer asserts that Stormdry masonry cream is breathable, which allows moisture to escape from the wall and prevents any trapped moisture, such as condensation, from causing further damage. However, roof cleaning and roof painting can help avoid the need to replace a roof. In most cases, there is no need to replace the roof it just needs a good clean and the roof tiles painted. Once the roof has been cleaned, an application of a roof coating or roof tile painting as most people refer to it will substantially improve the look of a roof. This, in turn, will protect the roof and extend its lifespan as most roof coatings and roof paints come with a long-term guarantee. Roof tile painting can be fast, safe, effective and affordable Thermal R is Marmot’sown proprietary group of polyester insulation. Using hollow fiber and multichannel filaments, Thermal R is hardly affected by perspiration, humidity, or moisture and continues to trap heat when damp. Marmot also has a sustainable version of the same material that is made using 100% recycled fibers called Thermal R Eco. Both have amazing warmth-to-weight ratios and are very durable for sleeping bags.

EraLoft is one of Thermarest’s many innovative products created for camping sleep systems. EraLoft is used in many of Thermarests lightweight synthetic sleeping bags for its ability to withstand being compressed and lofted without losing performance over time. As many synthetic sleeping bag fibers are, EraLoft is spun using a hollow core, which will continue to trap heat even if soaked. Climashield™ roof coating has been awarded certification by the 'Paint Research Association'.Tests were carried out for UV light filtering, general weathering and freeze-thaw resistance. The advance roof tile paint provides high levels of water-resistance as well as protection against dirt and grime. The roof coating will also seal the porous roof tiles without altering their natural appearance. Microshield Ultra will create an impermeable barrier to rain for a period between 20-30 years. Areas with extreme weather conditions can expect protection nearer the lower end of the range. What surface area will 5 litres of Microshield Ultra cover? The manufacturer states that this barrier prevents water from entering the wall and causing damage such as dampness, mould, and efflorescence. The lab-tested formulation contains materials which are designed to give the waterproof wall paint long-term durability even in areas subject to extreme weather conditions.

How to apply Masonry Protection Cream

Masonry Cream is a high-quality waterproofing/dampproofing cream, that will ensure long-lasting water repellency. It will also provide protection against efflorescence & mould. Climashield APEX reaches new heights in combinations of weight and thermal efficiency. Developed from a culmination of over 25 years of manufacturing experience, this innovative insulation is the lightest and most thermally efficient continuous filament insulation on the market today. Like other high-end synthetics, it also maintains warmth in wet and humid conditions.

Producttested in accordance with JIS A 6909 Clause 5.9.1 and showed no sign of any mechanical damage of the coating from the tests. This is a hard one to distinguish when looking at it through a lens assessing quality only. Both brands make epic goods, and function perfectly well in all seasons. They also both have lighter and heavier options to better suit whichever weather you might be facing. I cannot find much information about Thermic MX, but I remember having a Mountain Hardwear sleeping bag a good few years ago that used this insulation, and it was amazing. It appears that it is no longer being used, but you can still find some vintage synthetic sleeping bags that use it and are still ultralight. Climashield Roof Coating is used to renew the look of ageing, porous concrete roof tiles. Superior to a roof paint, it will transform the look of old concrete roof tiles and acts as a waterproof roof paint sealer as well as a coloured roof coating. A dirty moss-covered can look very unsightly and detract from the appearance of a property. However, once the roof has been coated, the transformational effect can be amazing. Painting roof tiles with a roof coating like Climashield™can make tired-looking old roof tiles make the roof look like it is brand new.

Benefits of Microshield Ultra

We have been successfully running training days for many years and have helped hundreds of self-employed business owners get started in the fast growing area of hard surface restoration. We have also helped many existing contractors improve their skill sets, enabling them to maximise the profitability of their business. We run two types of trainings.

Climashield currently has seven variations of its outdoor clothing insulation, but the best for the warmth-to-weight ratio is the Climashield Apex. Climashield Prism is also very lightweight and keeps its composition and structure under sustained use and when wet. All seven variations use the same microfiber composition, making them some of the lightest wearable insulation. Climashield Apex Insulation If applying by airless sprayer we recommend using a good quality brand such as Graco or Wagner. These can usually be hired locally. Your home is highly likely to be the largest single investment you will ever make, so it certainly makes sense to try and protect its value. Furthermore, it follows that periodic general home maintenance is essential to keep a property in good condition. Roof coating or roof tile painting is just one area that can make a significant difference to the value of your home. If roof tiles are left too long without being looked after, they can detract from the look of a nice home. Unfortunately, due to access issues, the roof is generally the last area of consideration when it comes to maintenance around the home. The only major manufacturer of lightweight continuous filament insulation in the world, Climashield ® produces signature insulation products that are durable, lightweight, thermally efficient, compressible, flame retardant, and sustainable. Proven performance in side-by-side comparisons of warmth-to-weight ratio and durability is the reason Climashield ® has supplied the U.S. Armed Forces for over 30 years. Due to it's unique continuous filament construction, Climashield APEX requires little to no quilting. This makes it easier to work with when compared to other synthetic insulations that require quilting panels to avoid shifting/migration. Great for sleeping bags, outer wear, and quilts.

Masonry Protection Cream

Stormdry has produced test results and literature claiming that wet walls are colder walls, and once treated with Stormdry, consumers may see a reduction in their energy usage as their walls will be warmer. Roof tiles are very susceptible to continuous weathering and because of this, become more and more porous over time. As a result, this creates the ideal conditions for the growth of moss and lichens on roof tiles. Roof tiles which may have looked great to start with can begin to look very tired and grubby. Most people just accept that their roof will look dirty and are not aware of the options to create a better-looking roof. Replacing a roof is not an option because of the expense and this is generally only done when a roof is damaged beyond repair. Surface stabilising & priming: If the existing surface is friable or showing signs of breaking down, use Smartseal Surface Primer to harden and consolidate the surface. This will greatly improve the adhesion of the Climashield Smooth Wall Coating. So the argument becomes more theoretical than practical: which one looks better, and provides the ethos that you can align with? Let’s look at the brands side-by-side. Climashield
