Keep damp walls under wraps using Damp Proof Wallpaper

Gallery

Damp walls can have a serious effect on the livability of a home, and it’s a problem many houses in Britain suffer from. If your house was built before damp proofing was included as part of the construction, it will be especially at risk. But don’t worry, there are more ways than ever for dealing with damp. Below we look at how damp proof walls can be created using damp proof wallpaper.

The root causes of damp

Damp can be caused by a number of things. Moisture in the ground around the house can seep into the walls if it has nowhere else to go. Something like a blocked gutter can also cause water to stream down a wall when it rains. Moisture from within the house can also cause damp if it becomes trapped. One example of this is in bathrooms, if there is a lack of ventilation steam from a shower or bath will condense on the walls.

Solutions for dealing with it

Just as there can be different causes of damp, there are different ways of dealing with it which will depend entirely on the source of the damp. If the damp’s being caused by something like a blocked gutter than clearing the obstruction will probably sort it out. If it’s rising damp you’ll probably need to get a DPC (Damp Proofing Course) put into the affected walls. And if the source is internal, condensation not being able to escape, it may be best to deal with it by ventilated the room and using either damp proof lining paper or damp proof wallpaper.

Damp Proof Lining Paper

On the wall Damp Proof Lining Paper looks no different to regular lining paper – it’s outer layer is made from just that, and will smooth over any bumps and cracks on the wall. But it also contains a layer of foil which creates a damp resistant barrier that prevents moisture reaching the surface of the wall and developing into damp spots.

Damp Proof Wallpaper

This has a damp proof foil layer just like Damp Proof Lining paper, but its outer layer is wallpaper and is designed to provide the visible outer finish of your walls. There are a few different brands on the market, we recommend Andertons Damp Proof  Foil Paper.

You shouldn’t need to use both of these products as only one if needed to create a barrier against damp. Whichever you use, pair it with a regular liner or wallpaper

Many homes in the UK suffer from damp, especially those that were built before damp proofing was considered during construction. Having damp walls can seriously affect the livability of your home, but there’s no need for it to do. We’re going to take a look at how you can damp proof walls with damp proof wallpaper.

What causes damp?

It’s important to understand the underlying problems causing damp in order to deal with it. What is meant by damp is essentially moisture in the air or ground that can’t pass through the walls of your property. This could be rising damp, coming from the ground outside or beneath your home, or it could be moisture from inside your home that can’t find a way out and condenses on walls and windows.

Ways of dealing with it?

There are a range of options for dealing with damp, the one you should choose depends on the type of damp. If you have an issue with rising damp or moisture from outside, then the best thing to do is get a damp proofing course to give you a barrier between external damp and the surfaces of your home. This is stop damp from getting in. But if the problem is with damp originating in your home, then the solutions are more lightweight. First, make sure you home is well ventilated so moisture can escape – open air vents and windows. You can also try using damp proof lining paper and damp proof wallpaper.
