The FREEZTEQ® damp proof course system was invented in 1965. It has been used successfully for over forty years to provide a damp proof course to a variety of brick and stone buildings, both in the UK and world-wide. In 1975 FREEZTEQ® was awarded a gold medal at the 4th Salon International des Inventions et des Techniques Nouvelles in Geneva.
Freezteq® Products Ltd has been providing damp proofing products since the early 1970s. The Freezteq® Frozen Damp-course System was actually invented in 1965 and has been used successfully for damp proofing walls for forty years. This system is a rising damp treatment comprising prepacks of siliconate solutions which are frozen before use. Once holes have been drilled into the mortar line of the wall, following the instructions provided, the frozen prepacks (called ice sticks) are inserted directly into the mortar joints, which are the major pathways for any rising damp, thereby providing an effective damp proof course.
If you are considering inserting a damp proof course in your home, you may feel overwhelmed by the various rising damp solutions available. Once you start looking, you will undoubtedly find numerous damp treatment products available to buy. But which one? Purchase of the Freezteq® Frozen Damp-course System would be a very good choice. It is reasonably cheap compared with other rising damp solutions and, as mentioned, is easy to use. It is one of the damp proofing products available which you can insert yourself – simply follow the instructions provided in each box. Fighting damp just couldn't be easier.
There is no specialised equipment required to insert a Freezteq system. The only tools required are a hammer drill and a 22mm drill bit, both of which can be hired, thereby saving the expense of purchasing equipment which you would no longer need once you have completed your rising damp treatment. You will, of course, need to purchase sufficient Freezteq prepacks to complete the job and be able to freeze the packs for 48 hours before use. If you are doing a large amount of walling, however, you can treat the walls in sections, thereby alleviating the need to freeze all the prepacks at once.
Many damp proofing products are readily available; however, some rising damp solutions are not always as effective as they might be. The Freezteq system is one of the rising damp solutions which can be used with confidence. In fact, Freezteq is so confident of its product that it offers a thirty year guarantee!
Treatment for rising damp has been Freezteq's main business since the company's inception, although other building preservation products are also produced.
