About this deal

Anti-condensation paint can be a little more difficult to find than your standard anti-mold of grease paint,' she says, 'this usually gives it a slightly inflated price tag, meaning whether or not it is worth it will depend on how bad your mold problem really is and what else you have tried first. Be sure not to apply too thinly and for the best results you will need atleast 2 coats. For wall and ceiling preperation make sure you remove any mould first with a strong mould killer and once dry sand down any imperfections on the surface before applying this paint.

One of the things you should look at is the cost of the paint, as this can vary quite widely between different manufacturers and retailers. It’s a common problem in rooms where there can be a lot of moisture present that we can, unfortunately, encounter a fair bit of mould growth. A solution to combating condensation is the application of good anti-condensation paint to prevent moisture.The two terms have totally different meaning “reduction” and “elimination”. A buyer must keep in mind that anti-condensation paints reduce or lower the moisture or dampness in surfaces rather than totally removing or eradicating it from the affected surface. In our experience, the coverage of Rempro Thermal Paint (4-5m 2 per litre) was pretty much bang on, though other brands may vary of course. Number of Coats The Rempro benefits from the fact that it can be used as an under-coat and can be overpainted with additional paint for a different aesthetic look that you may find more appealing than the standard white colours available in most types of condensation paints.

This is something we took great pains to do before deciding to give it a go. We’ve now joined the many happy homeowners who swear by the positive effect that anti-condensation paint can have in a troublesome room. Does Condensation Paint Really Work? Defective paint will never come out like this so if your walls look similar, it’s very likely you have a condensation problem. Summary The Ronseal anti-mould paint is ideal for protecting walls and ceilings and offers protection from mould growth for up to 6 years. It gives a tough scrubbable finish that’s easily wiped cleaned and resists moisture and steam making it a good choice for bathrooms and shower rooms that are in need of protection. This bathroom specific paint is not only useful in a practical sense of preventing mould and damp, it also gives you an elegant finish that’s tough to match with typical anti condensation paints. This of course saves you the time and effort of having to go over it with a different emulsion.Compounding our condensation problems is the fact the rendering on our property isn’t breathable, so we have high internal humidity levels, anyway. Of course, this has created a perfect storm for condensation and mould to form. With most painting, preparation is key. Ensure that the area you are painting is cleaned sufficiently with mould killer if there is mould present on the surface you wish to paint. Sand down the surface before applying the Dryzone for the best finish. Let’s be clear here, even the best anti condensation paint isn’t a fail-safe solution to condensation. So, we have provided a few tips to help you decide which anti condensation paint is the right choice for you: The Price Point

Take care not to sand off any mould as this can spread the particles around the room. Only smooth the wall or ceiling after cleaning the surface with mould killer and allowing to dry first.

While we have a positive pressure ventilation system installed which has solved our most serious condensation issues, the rooms with 3 external walls needed a little extra help. Hence, that’s why we tried anti-condensation paint. The paint is dry to touch in 1-2 hours in a warm room and can be re-applied in just 4 hours for a second coat. Expect a paint coverage of 13m2 per Litre from the Ronseal anti-mould paint. On the tin itself it reports that it should not be used as an undercoat and if any other paint is applied over it will limit its effectiveness to prevent mould and condensation from forming. If Ronseal isn’t doing it for you then you should definitely take a look at Coo-Var. Coo-Var’s anti condensation paint has been formulated with the inclusion of a fungicide which inhibits the growth of mould.

It works by providing an insulating effect on the wall, helping to avoid the temperature of the wall dropping to a level where condensation will form. While it does work, it will only resolve relatively minor condensation issues. The added benefit of being able to use this anti-condensation paint as a base means that you are free to experiment with different colours while also getting great protection from mould and mildew. For us, a primer wasn’t required as the wall was already painted previously. However, we did do two coats as that was recommended by the manufacturer. If we had done fewer coats, the paint might not have worked as effectively as it does. Drying Time This was certainly the case in our situation. The tub clearly stated to use a medium pile roller to avoid damaging the small glass bubbles that make the paint effective. We followed the instructions very carefully and applied two coats. Most of the buyers choose color randomly, go for their favorite color, or choose it according to the theme of their furniture or home. But this is not the right way when you are selecting a color of anti-condensation paint! This is because you have to keep in mind some prior things.Coming in 32 colours, the product can be used either as an undercoat for wallpaper and emulsions or on its own. The colour palette comprises a selection of neutral shades and dramatic tones that dry to a slightly textured matt finish. Ensure you have correctly prepared the surface or area before applying the Rempro anti-condensation paint for the best results. If mould is present on the surface prior to painting, remove it with a strong mould killer spray and when dry, sand down any imperfections before painting. Condensation is not only a visible problem but can cause undiscovered issues in wet rooms such as a bathroom, shower room and kitchen. If mould and mildew are allowed to spread on surfaces and walls untended, this can lead to an increase in respiratory problems, health issues and allergies for those living in the home. The golden rule to prevent moisture build-up is to prevent condensation through a proper ventilation of the rooms. Using a specific anti-condensation paint in prone areas, such as the kitchen or bathroom, can also help prevent moisture build-up.
