Most products are based on cationic acrylic.
Did You Know?
Did you know that insulating paint is essential for nicotine, soot, mould, and damp stains? If you use “regular” wall paint, the stains will always return no matter how many coats you apply!
Insulating Wall Paint
In most cases, we recommend using insulating wall paint to deal with damp and mould stains. If you use wall paint without insulating properties, the stains will always reappear. Insulating wall paint is a sealing product, preventing the wall or ceiling from being vapour permeable. Insulating wall paint is made with premium raw materials that isolate stains effectively, ensuring they do not return. The recommendation is always to apply multiple coats, especially on stubborn stains.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
First, spot-treat any visible stains until they disappear. After that, paint the entire wall or surface with insulating paint or wall paint.
Insulating Primer for Wood
Wood can also be insulated effectively using iron oxide primer, which is the best insulating primer for wood.
Best Insulating Wall Paint
Our top recommendation is the Pastolex Renovation Wall Paint. This insulating wall paint performs exceptionally well and is specifically designed to isolate nicotine stains.
Soot Insulating Paint
Soot stains are particularly stubborn and must always be treated with insulating paint. Soot insulating paint is similar to nicotine-insulating paint. It isolates the stain and ensures it does not return afterwards. Such stains are commonly found near stoves or fireplaces.
Insulation Paint
Insulating paint is mainly used for stains but can also be effective on dense types of wood (commonly referred to as bleeding wood). These stains can seep through finishes, which is undesirable. There are opaque insulating paints as well as clear versions for translucent finishes. Insulation paint is a valuable solution in such instances.
Insulating Basecoat
You typically use insulating wall paint for damp or mould stains. However, in severe cases, we recommend starting with an insulating basecoat or primer. This is particularly useful for severe stains or mould, as the primer can kill the mould immediately. This prevents the problem from resurfacing.
Insulating Paint for Exterior Walls
Insulating paint for exterior walls or for interior spaces is often a similar product. The main difference is that exterior wall paint can withstand UV exposure. Make sure the insulating paint you choose suits your specific needs, as interior insulation paints are usually not suitable for exterior use. Insulating paints are used to combat stains or moisture issues.
When Should You Use Insulating Paint?
Insulating paint or insulating wall paint is used to treat stains, typically caused by the following issues:
- Nicotine stains
- Soot stains
- Moisture stains
- Leaking walls
Why Use Insulating Paint?
By using insulating paint, you ensure stains do not reappear. With standard wall paint, stains will always come back.
- Isolating properties
- Long-lasting results
- Saves time and effort
- Not thermally insulating
Advice from the Professional
We recommend insulating paint for dealing with stains or nicotine residue. Insulating wall paint addresses the issue directly, ensuring stains do not return. However, these paints do not provide thermal insulation, so they won’t help save on energy costs or reduce noise.
What is Insulating Paint?
Insulating paint is a wall paint available in solvent- or water-based formulas. These paints offer insulating properties and can be used both indoors and outdoors. You can use insulating paint to isolate stains, ensuring they do not reappear.
Insulating Paint for Nicotine Stains
If you have nicotine stains, insulating paint or wall paint is highly recommended. Without it, the nicotine stains will always come back, no matter how many coats of standard paint you apply.
Insulating Paint for Soot Stains
For soot stains, we recommend using insulating paint, particularly after fire damage or around fireplaces. Once treated, the stains will no longer reappear.
Insulating Paint for Damp Stains
After heavy rainfall, leaks can leave unsightly damp stains on ceilings. Professional-grade insulating wall paint is ideal for covering these marks.
Insulating Paint for Leaking Walls
Basements and exterior walls often have moisture problems, which can be addressed with insulating wall paint. However, it is essential to address the underlying issue as well, as insulating wall paint will only cover up existing stains.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
Measure the surface area you need to paint in advance. Do this by multiplying the length and width of the area. Generally, wall paint has a coverage of 7.5m² per litre. With 10 litres, you can paint approximately 75m². Always test the absorbency of your walls to determine if you need a primer.
