FAQs
What surfaces can I use Coo-Var Anti-Condensation Paint on?

How do I clean the painted surface?

Does this paint eliminate condensation entirely?
The paint is designed to significantly reduce condensation and its effects. However, for extreme humidity, ensuring adequate room ventilation is also important.
Troubleshooting
Paint not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or contaminants before application. Check for existing dampness or mould that may not have been fully treated.
Condensation still visible
Verify that the surface was adequately prepared and that the paint was applied in sufficient coats (usually two). Ensure the room has adequate ventilation, as paint alone cannot overcome extreme humidity issues.
Uneven finish after application
Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly before use and applied evenly with consistent roller or brush strokes. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Surface Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose material before application. For best results, treat any existing mould with a suitable fungicidal wash and allow to dry thoroughly.
Compatibility: This paint is suitable for application on plaster and wood surfaces.
Application: Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Stir the paint well before use. Apply one or two coats as required, allowing adequate drying time between coats. For a different finish, allow the paint to dry completely before overcoating with your chosen decorative paint.
Care: Clean application tools with water immediately after use. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the matt finish.
