FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this paint?

The primary benefit is its ability to significantly reduce condensation (up to 95%) and prevent the growth of mould on interior walls.

Can I use this paint in any room?

It is ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, especially in areas prone to moisture. It's also suitable for walls with poor insulation or cold exterior surfaces.

How do I prepare the wall before painting?

The wall must be clean, dry, and free from mould, dust, and grease. Any existing mould should be treated and removed before painting.

Does this paint eliminate the need for ventilation?

No, while the paint reduces condensation, adequate room ventilation is still essential for overall moisture control and healthy air quality.

What colour is this specific product?

This variant is in a 'Pale Slate' colour.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for maximum effectiveness in reducing condensation and preventing mould.

Can I paint over existing wallpaper with this product?

It is generally recommended to paint directly onto prepared wall surfaces. Ensure any wallpaper is sound, clean, and dry, or consider removing it for optimal adhesion and performance.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. Re-prime if necessary.

Mould reappears shortly after painting

Ensure all existing mould was completely removed and the surface was treated with a mould killer prior to painting. Check for underlying moisture issues or inadequate ventilation in the room.

Condensation still visible on walls

Verify that two coats were applied and allowed to dry fully. Consider improving room ventilation as the paint works best in conjunction with good air circulation.

Uneven colour finish

Ensure the paint was applied evenly with consistent pressure from the brush or roller. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key for optimal performance. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from existing mould, dust, and grease. Treat any existing mould with a suitable mould remover before painting.

  • Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It can be applied over most existing coatings, but for best results, ensure the surface is sound.
  • Application: Apply with a brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for maximum effectiveness. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Care: To maintain the paint's properties, clean surfaces gently with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
  • Ventilation: While the paint reduces condensation, adequate room ventilation (e.g., opening windows, using extractor fans) is still crucial for overall moisture management.
