How does anti-mould paint work?

Anti-mould paint works by using powerful biocides to prevent mould growth for up to five years. Though anti-mould paint does not stop condensation, it works by preventing the side effects of condensation such as mould and mildew. Anti-mould paint works best in bathrooms when they are properly ventilated or dried after showers and bathing. We would recommend using our anti-mould paints alongside ensuring that there is enough ventilation to areas that are prone to mould.

How to use anti-mould paint

Ensure that the room you are applying anti-mould paint to is above 10C and open all doors and windows in the room for ventilation. Protect surfaces and furniture with dust sheets. If your walls have been newly plastered, leave them to dry for a week and apply the sealer before applying anti-mould paint. For walls that already have mould, use a mould killer such as HG Hagesan to remove it. We do not recommend sanding the wall before using a mould killer, or you will spread the mould spores. Sand off any remaining paint for a smooth surface, ready for painting. Thoroughly stir the anti-mould paint for a smooth consistency then pour into a tray. Coat your brush or roller and wipe off excess paint on the tray rim. Apply the first coat and wait for a minimum of four hours to dry. You can then go in for a second coat or more if there has been significant staining. Wait 24 hours before letting condensation occur in the room again (No cooking or bathing).
