With everyone striving for airtight homes these days alot of people are wondering how this can be achieved especially on the inside of external walls
While a breedable insulated lime plaster is best suited to old stone walls the more recently built masonry walls can be coated in sand and cement or with the product below which is parge coat.

Parge coat gives a good acoustic value as well as airtightness to masonry walls prior to dry lining and is a gypsum plaster product.

What is a parge coat?

A parge coat is a method of sealing a masonry background prior to drylining with a system such as DriLyner Dab.

manufacture Gyproc Soundcoat Plus which is gypsum-based and designed to improve acoustic performance and reduce air leakage by sealing air paths.

Air leakage through blockwork can be significant, particularly through incomplete mortar joints, cracks or via the block permeability. Air passing through the wall will take heat energy with it, reducing the thermal efficiency of the wall and also adversely affecting the acoustic performance. A continuous 6mm coat of Gyproc SoundCoat, applied to the face of the masonry prior to the installation of DriLyner systems, will seal hidden air paths often found in mortar joints between blocks or bricks, improving the performance.

Alternately consider the use of our Thistle plastering systems an alternative to drylining which will also reduces air leakage and optimises the sound insulation performance of the masonry element.

Putting the works in on the prep ensures a flawless finish. This wall was ruled off perfectly level not only giving our client a lovely finish but helping the block layers get forgiveness for their sins in the process 😉😀
