Ronseal ACPWM25L Anti Condensation Watercolour Paint White Matt 2.5 Litre, 2.5L

Product Information

Condensation can result in unappealing stains and streaks that ruin your hard work and the aesthetics of a room, as well as the increased risk of health conditions that could result. 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. Another similarity is the coverage. Both paints cover up to 6m²/litre. But an important difference is the colour range. Ronseal comes in White Matt alone and it can be over-coated with any interior wall and ceiling emulsion. The texture of the paint is the concluding outcome that is left on your wall when the process is completed. This is because it is a significant factor that needs prior consideration. The innovative anti-condensation or anti-mold paints are available in the market with mixed textures in the coating. The form of texture offers a great representation of the surface. 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.

Anti-Condensation paint has now become a suitable means of protecting surface walls, allowing the surface to absorb the moisture and breathe correctly avoiding any build-up of mould or mildew. While you may see the most benefit in areas and rooms which are prone to moisture such as bathrooms, kitchens and shower rooms. 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. 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. Coming in white colour and drying to a matt finish, Damp Seal can be painted over with the emulsion of your choice, although this isn’t essential. Once dry, the product prevents moisture from penetrating its film, maintaining a flawless finish for a long time.This will ensure you do the job correctly based on the product you buy, which means you can benefit from more effective protection. In short no. While the two types of paint have similar functions (to resolve a problem on walls caused by excess moisture), how they deal with the issue is different.

The Easy Care Bathroom is an incredibly tough and durable soft sheen emulsion that has the ability to exceptionally resist moisture and steam. It’s for this reason, when painting bathrooms we always recommend using this particular product. With the Dryzone anti-condensation paint you should expect to apply multiple coats for the best protection. We advise at least 2 coats and expect a paint coverage of around 8m2 per litre. Naturally, you want one that is affordable, easy to apply, and provides a high level of protection.

The Rempro Thermal Anti-condensation paint is designed to hold heat which combats the development of mould and condensation on the surface of the paint.

Thermilate InsOpaint is one of the best paints when it comes to preventing some of the common problems associated with condensation including mould, blistering and discolouration. Suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, it also doubles up as an effective energy saver. 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 The Coo-var anti-condensation is a water-based white paint that specialises in combating mould growth that’s perfect for a range of different interior surfaces. So while we do not recommend painting over the Ronseal anti-mould paint if you are just looking for a white matt paint to cover ceilings and walls then this one could be a great solution for preventing the growth of mould and mildew. Before applying anti-condensation paint around your home, it is important to properly prepare your walls for painting by removing any mold and drying them completely if they are already suffering from condensation.

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 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. As you’re probably aware, condensation is the little drops of water that form most commonly in areas where there’s plenty of moisture. The reason they form is all down to the difference in temperature between the inside and outside of your property and the amount of moisture present in the air inside. 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
