Black Mould Prevention
Condensation and Damp Elimination
Damp affects over 900,000 homes in England alone, according to the English Housing Survey.
Plenty of those come under the social housing umbrella, with 4% of social-rented properties thought to be affected.
While it might seem like a small minority, that’s still 1 in 25 homes at risk of serious problems if damp is left untreated.
The Health Risks with Mould
Mould releases spores which produce allergens, irritants, and even toxic substances, which according to the NHS, can lead to allergic reactions, respiratory problems and even a weakened immune system.
The risk is higher for babies, children, elderly people, and those who have existing problems with their skin, respiration, immune system, or are suffering from Long Covid.
Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord or housing manager, it’s clear that damp and mould are not something you should ignore. And older properties are at a greater risk of damp than newer homes as they tend to be less energy efficient.
Finding The Solution
With damp and mould impacting indoor air quality, and increasing or aggravating the risk of allergic reactions, respiratory problems and immune issues that come with mould, finding a solution that prevents these in the first place is crucial.
Spray Cork is a sustainable and eco-friendly sprayed cork coating for walls and ceilings that can eliminate penetrating damp and condensation forming on surfaces. It is an extremely thin coating, applied at 4-6mm with 2mm skim, which also increases the energy efficiency of the property, providing tenants a healthy and safe space to live, and peace of mind to the landlord.
The thin layer at which the product is applied makes it perfect for:
- Small rooms and tight spaces where thicker layers cause unacceptable reduction in room size
- Properties with historic internal architectural details, which should not be concealed behind thick layers of insulation for conservation reasons
- Properties on a tight budget, who do not want the extra cost, time and hassle of repositioning services such as electrical points and radiators
High Durability
Our exterior wall coatings are highly durable and extremely weather resistant. With an expected lifespan of over 20 years, they last much longer than masonry paint and are much more cost-effective than re-rendering.
Stylish Finish
Our coatings come in a range of colours and can cover your home to create a stylish, modern and uniform finish. Cork’s natural resistance to algal and fungal growth means it also looks cleaner for longer.
Eco Sustainable
Made from sustainable resources, cork exterior coatings are energy-saving and environmentally responsible. The cork used in our products contributes significantly to CO2 absorption and the battle against climate change.
Thermal Performance
The natural thermal performance of the cork can reduce your heating bills by 15%. Our coatings are proven to be seven or eight times more insulating than traditional lime/sand renders.
Weatherproof
With a 25 year manufacturer’s warranty and an ability to deal with anything the British weather can throw at it, an investment in Spray Cork coating will perform for decades, keeping your walls dry and warm.
No More Unsightly Cracks
The natural flexibility of the cork means it can resist cracking and stop current hairline cracks opening up further.
