Anti Mould & Anti Condensation Insulating Glass Bubble Thermal Paint 2.5Ltrs Suretherm

Product Information

All surfaces must be clean, dry and free from anything that can interfere with the adhesion of the paint. Remove loose and failing paint from the wall if required by scraping or brushing with a stiff bristle brush to a sound edge. It’s usually made to repel water while also providing some measure of thermal insulation and an ability to change the temperature of the surfaces, which again helps in the prevention of moisture formation. 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? As with all treatment of damp and condensation problems, remove all visible signs of organic growth and treat the areas with Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and allow to dry.

Start by making sure the surface you want to paint is free from any mould and fungus. You can use our mould wash concentrate to do this. 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. Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint is a water based internal emulsion which will drastically reduce condensation formation by utilising Glass Microsphere technology. When incorporated into a paint film glass spheres act as miniature thermos-like bottles, providing a thermal barrier between cold surfaces and the warmer ambient temperature within a living space. As the air is insulated against the colder wall surface, condensation is controlled. This in turn inhibits mould and fungal growth. Now the important part, the painting. Start with your first coat of paint, firstly painting around the edges of the wall or ceiling using your paint brush. Once this is done, you can then use a medium-pile roller to paint the rest of the surface.Insulating paint, or thermal paints, are decorative coatings that are specifically designed to improve the thermal performance of a surface. Insulating paints all function in different ways, depending on the situation. Insulating paints generally come in two forms; exterior insulating paint and interior insulating paint. While they both work on the premise of providing properties with adding insulating properties, they achieve this in different ways. 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. 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. But how does Suretherm achieve this? Suretherm contains glass microspheres which allow it to absorb heat from the central heating of a property rather than allowing this heat to escape through the wall. By retaining heat twice as long as a standard emulsion paint, Suretherm uses this heat to prevent the formation of condensation, which is made easier on cold walls. To ensure fair pricing, we split colours into ‘Price Bands’ to group together similar priced colours. If you wish to search for the cheapest tinted colours, always select Price Band 1.

Ronseal anti-condensation paint is precisely the one I have tried my hands on, and it worked great to stop the beads of condensation on my windows in the bathroom. Simply applying two coats of Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint before you decorate will give you the protection you need against mould growth & unneeded heat loss. It is particularly ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, areas that do not have insulation or for industrial environments. 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 There are a number of circumstances where applying an insulating paint can be particularly effective.

Suretherm is a thermal anti condensation paint designed to stop mould and damp by resisting the formation of condensation and mould on internal wall and ceiling surfaces. As condensation takes much longer to form compared to other paints, mould won't grow. The floor is a different issue, if the moisture is penetrating up through the floor then really the tiles would need to be lifted and a damp proof membrane such as our 402 Damp Proof Coating be applied. If the moisture on the surface is due to the formation of condensation, then we wouldn’t have any floor coatings to solve this, it would likely be a case of lifting the tiles and installing some insulation to help combat the bridge between the cold sub floor and internal heated area. While it comes in white as standard, Suretherm once applied can then be wallpapered over or even painted over using any emulsion paint. Anti-condensation paint has the added benefit of being able to be covered with wallpaper once you’re finished with the application on the surface. This not only safeguards your walls but also allows you to add your desired decorative touch. Applying Anti-Condensation Paint – The Right Steps

Prime all areas to be painted with one coat of Zinsser B-I-N Primer Sealer in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Allow a minimum drying time of 45 minutes in normal drying conditions.

The glass microspheres effectively become ”charged” like a battery cell which enables them to retain heat for much longer compared to other decorative or specialist paints. Suretherm maintains surface temperatures Yes, if you use Coo-Var Anti-Condensation Paint, but be sure to allow Coo-Var Anti-Condensation Paint to thoroughly dry (5 – 7 days @ 20°C) before applying the wallpaper. Don’t despair! The application of paint depends on the paint you are using, however there are a number of similarities. The most important similarity is that preparation is crucial. It can be tempting to save time by getting straight on with the painting, however that can compromise the quality of the finish and the performance of the paint. Whether you are plagued with either condensation or dampness, the consequences that come with them are similar. Both of these issues could be a source of mold, which thrives in warm, humid environments like that.

If your exterior is watertight and so the moisture is coming from somewhere indoors, you are dealing with a condensation issue. Condensation is in big part an air circulation issue, where the moisture is unable to leave your property, resulting in droplets on your wall, windows and ceilings and it could also cause spotty mildew. Condensation is most common in rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, but condensation could also wreak havoc in chimneys or even under your laminate or wooden floors when they are tightly fitted and leave no room for air circulation. Regarding the colors, because the paint doesn’t really absorb the condensation but instead reflects it, you should choose a color that doesn’t easily show the water droplets. So, our experience of Rempro Thermal Paint so far had been excellent. So good, in fact, there haven’t really been any negatives to speak of. Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint is an internal water-based emulsion that is specifically designed to help deal with internal mould and damp caused by condensation. It significantly reduces condensation by absorbing any heat that would ordinarily escape through the wall, thanks to its glass microsphere technology. These glass microspheres become charged like a battery by any heat that passes through them. This heat is absorbed and retained in the coating, which works to evaporate any condensation that attempts to form on the treated surface. If you have a problem with condensation in your home, it is important to take action. This is because condensation can become a serious issue in your property.HQC is an outstanding anti-condensation paint specially formulated to act as an insulator – reducing the heat loss in your home while preventing major condensation problems such as discolouration, blistering and staining. However, no matter what your situation, prevention is always better than cure. The issue is that the methods to solve a problem once and for all can be very costly to do. That was our situation when we looked at having to spend tens of thousands on external wall insulation and re-rendering. The surface should be free of mould and completely dry before you paint it, whether you are painting an interior or exterior wall. Since our house suffers from high humidity levels, the condensation was attracted to the coldest surfaces in a room – the very bottom corners of the external walls. Is Condensation on Walls Bad? Finally, apply masking tape to any edges and protect the floor using a dust sheet to prevent any paint splatter on your carpet. Step 2: Painting
