Did you know...

Did you know that mould stains must always be treated with an isolating wall paint or primer? Mould is a stain that will always return if you use standard wall paint.

What is mould-resistant paint?

Mould-resistant paint is designed to withstand damp areas and prevent mould growth. Some of these paints are also suitable for covering nicotine stains. These products are easy to clean, such as the Pastolex renovation wall paint. For optimal results, apply two coats of this paint to maximise its protective properties.

Tip from Verfmenger

First spot-treat the mould with a mould-resistant wall paint. Once the mould has completely disappeared and is no longer visible, treat the entire wall with the same paint.

Tip from Verfmenger

Measure in advance the total area you need to paint. Calculate this by multiplying the length by the width of the surface. Each wall paint covers approximately 7.5 m² per litre. With 10 litres, you can paint around 75 m². Always check if your wall is absorbent and whether a primer is required.

What is anti-mould paint and how does it work?

Anti-mould paint, also known as mould-resistant paint, contains specific ingredients that effectively prevent the growth of mould. These components act as fungicides, inhibiting or even eliminating the development of mould. Using anti-mould paint ensures that moisture and mould do not cling to surfaces, keeping walls and ceilings clean. Additionally, this helps to reduce the health risks associated with mould exposure. Applying this paint is not just an aesthetic choice but also a vital step towards promoting a healthy living environment. We stock a range of top-brand anti-mould paints, which can even be mixed in the desired colour.

What types of mould-resistant paint are there?

There aren’t many types of mould-resistant paint because they all share the same goal. The purpose of mould-resistant paint is to counteract damp areas and potential mould formation.

Bathroom wall paint: Bathroom paint is for interior use and is designed for finishing your walls. These paints are always water-based (acrylic) and can be applied directly over primer, or even on damp stains or areas with mould growth.

Washable wall paint: Washable wall paint is a distinct category of wall paints. These are classified by scrub resistance, ranging from class 5 to class 1, with class 1 offering the highest resistance. If you use a class 1 paint, you can clean your wall with a cloth without damaging the paint layer, extending its durability. Scrub resistance is tested by mechanically scrubbing a sponge over the paint. The longer the layer stays intact, the higher its resistance rating.
