How much does this paint reduce condensation?
The paint is designed to reduce condensation levels by up to 95%.
Is this paint suitable for all rooms?
Yes, it is particularly effective in high-moisture areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms, but can be used in any interior room prone to condensation.
How do I prepare the walls before painting?
Walls must be clean, dry, and free from mould, dust, and grease. Remove any loose paint or plaster. A primer may be required.

What is the drying time between coats?

How should I clean the painted surface?

Will this paint stop mould permanently?
The paint contains fungicide and creates a barrier to prevent mould growth. However, maintaining good ventilation is crucial for long-term prevention.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dried, and free from dust, grease, or loose paint before application. A primer may be necessary on some surfaces.
Mould reappears after painting
Check that all existing mould was removed before painting and that the underlying cause of excess moisture is addressed. Ensure adequate ventilation is maintained.
Surface still feels damp
While the paint reduces condensation, it's important to maintain general room ventilation. Ensure the paint has fully cured and consider if the humidity levels are exceptionally high.
Uneven finish
Ensure paint was applied evenly with a brush or roller, avoiding over-application in one spot. Allow proper drying time between coats.
