I believe one product is made by a company called Sika, and I have seen it at Mitre10 before. I think Carters have a similar product made by a different company. The other which I have seen on TV before involves a combination of a special type of foam/foil sheet which is glued everywhere and joins sealed with a type of tape. I don't know what this is called though. Have fun though - how do you intend to heat this office? It must get cold enough in the house itself, not to mention the basement. |

| 410562 | 2005-12-08 01:41:00 | As mentioned previously, I used a goo called Mulseal - not sure who made it. However, it was for the outside of the blockwork before soil was heaped against it and it worked. The firm probably has a product for inside as well. Despite the fact that my adventure with Mulseal was over twenty years ago, a Google just now produces heaps of responses, including..... Mulseal is recommended as a coating on external walls to. prevent water entry, and may be applied ... Mulseal is recommended for repair of cracked or crazed ... www.parchem.com.au/prodinfo/mulseal.pdf - Similar pages I |
