Another Successful Waterproofing Training Workshop at Midas Paints Paarl.
We hosted yet another highly successful waterproofing training workshop at Midas Paints Paarl, bringing together contractors, applicators, and site teams for a full day of hands on learning and technical development.
Delegates were trained across the three core waterproofing disciplines:
Liquid waterproofing systems: reinforced membranes, primers, application sequencing, and critical detailing.
Cementitious waterproofing: slurry systems, negative pressure applications, outlet dressing, and angle reinforcement.
Heat fused bitumen membranes: torch on techniques, gussets, angle fillets, laps, and outlet detailing.
The workshop placed strong emphasis on detailing, the single most important factor in long term waterproofing success.
Delegates practiced:
Internal and external corners.
Pipe pe*******ons.
Full bore outlets.
Door thresholds.
Window jambs.
Capping sheets.
Turn ups and turn downs.
Soft joints and transitions.
The practical stations at the new training centre continue to elevate skill levels across the industry, ensuring contractors leave with real, applicable knowledge and not just theory.
Was awesome to have the teams from ikapa waterproofing, Bonzai waterproofing, the crew from Nextlevel and Ibis industries.

Winter light changes everything.
Too matt, and colour can fall flat.
Too much sheen, and the room starts to feel exposed.
The balance lies in a finish that holds depth, while gently catching what little light there is.
Save this post for your next paint project. 🪣

Curated tones for the quiet season.
Soft greens that settle the eye.
Clay rusts that ground the space.
Deep, rich browns that hold warmth as the light fades.
A palette shaped by slower days, longer shadows, and a quieter way of living.

Rising damp in South Africa.
Rising damp is when moisture from the ground rises up through the walls, causing damage to the plaster, paint, and structure of the building

Rising damp and salt damage to walls. Rising damp is a common issue in buildings, particularly in regions with high humidity or heavy rainfall, and especially older buildings, in South Africa.

It refers to the upward movement of moisture through a wall structure, typically through capillary action in the pores of bricks, mortar, or other building materials. Rising damp is when moisture from the ground rises up through the walls, causing damage to the plaster, paint, and structure of the building.

This phenomenon can cause significant damage to the structure of a building, including decay of timber, salt attack, and loss of structural integrity. It can also lead to unhealthy living conditions due to increased humidity and potential mould growth. The high rainfall in certain regions, coupled with often porous building materials, makes many South African buildings susceptible to rising damp.

Causes of Rising Damp.
The main cause of rising damp is the lack of or failure of a damp-proof course (DPC), which is a layer of material that prevents moisture from rising up the walls. A DPC can be made of bituminous felt, slate, metal, or plastic, and is usually made of a water-resistant material, which is built into the wall structure at about 150mm above ground level to prevent moisture from rising up the wall, usually installed at the base of the walls during construction. However, over time, the DPC damp-proof course can deteriorate, crack, or be bridged by debris, soil, or vegetation, allowing moisture to seep through.

Some of the signs of rising damp are:

A band of dampness or staining on the lower part of the wall, usually up to one meter high.
Peeling, bubbling, or flaking of paint or wallpaper.
Crumbling or blistering of plaster due to salt crystallization,
A musty or damp smell,
Rotting of wooden floorboards or skirting boards,
Mould or fungal growth on walls or floor.

Envirolite Zero VOC Paint.
NO GLYCOL, APEO OR FORMALDEHYDE Besides having reduced or Zero VOCs, many of the Envirolite products have also been reformulated without these potentially hazardous chemical ingredients that are conventionally used as drying time retarders, preservatives and stabilisers.
NO LEAD: Lead is a thing of the past, there is no lead in any Midas Paint's products.
A ‘GREEN STAR’ PRODUCT: The Green Building Council of SA states that for internal walls to qualify for a “Green Star” rating, coatings should have 16g VOC per litre – or less. (For ceilings, it’s 14g per litre.) The EU directive for 2010 puts this figure at 30g VOC per litre. In South Africa, we’re already way ahead of international standards.
Midas ENVIROLITE PAINT has taken things a step further, achieving Zero VOC with certain water-based topcoats. (By Zero VOC, we mean less than 1 gram of VOCs per litre. In other words, virtually negligible VOCs.)
ENVIROLITE is able to maintain its low VOC content by making use of Glycol-free colourants, which helps to significantly reduce the possible health hazards of paint.
