FAQs

What is the primary benefit of this paint?

The primary benefit is its dual action: it combats mould and condensation while also providing a degree of thermal insulation to help keep rooms warmer and potentially reduce energy costs.

Can I use this paint on exterior walls?

No, this paint is specifically designed for interior use on walls and ceilings.

How much area does a 5L can cover?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application thickness, but a 5L can typically provides excellent coverage for larger areas. Refer to the product packaging for specific coverage rates.

Do I need to use a special primer?

While not always mandatory, using a suitable primer is recommended for porous surfaces or to ensure optimal adhesion and performance, especially if the existing surface is problematic.

How do I clean the painted surface?

The dried surface can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh or abrasive cleaning agents.

Will this paint completely stop condensation?

This paint helps to reduce condensation by providing insulation and improving surface drying time. However, it is most effective when combined with good room ventilation practices.

How effective is the thermal insulation?

The glass bubble technology provides a measurable thermal barrier, contributing to insulation. While it helps maintain room temperature and can reduce heat loss, it is a supplementary insulation and not a replacement for primary heating or structural insulation.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. A suitable primer may be required for porous surfaces.

Mould reappears after painting

Thoroughly remove existing mould with a dedicated mould remover before painting. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room to prevent future moisture buildup.

Surface remains cold to the touch

The thermal insulation properties are supplementary. Ensure the room has adequate primary heating. Check if the paint was applied in two or more coats as recommended.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint was stirred well. Apply using a consistent technique with a quality brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively combats mould and condensation issues.
  • Provides additional thermal insulation benefits.
  • Large 5L pack offers good value and coverage.
  • Creates a clean, modern white finish.
  • Helps in maintaining room temperature consistency.

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for best results.
  • May require multiple coats depending on the surface.
  • Effectiveness of thermal insulation is moderate and not a substitute for primary heating.
  • Primarily for interior use; not suitable for exterior applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is Key:

  1. Clean Surface: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and existing mould. Treat any existing mould with a suitable mould remover and allow it to dry completely.
  2. Prime: For best adhesion and performance, apply a suitable primer if the surface is particularly porous or has been previously painted with a non-breathable paint.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and performance. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility:

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most common interior wall surfaces including plaster, masonry, and previously painted surfaces (after preparation).

Care:

Once dry, the painted surface can be cleaned gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, as they may damage the finish or the insulating properties.
