Anti Condensation Coating
PermaPROTECT Anti Condensation Paint is a specially formulated coating that prevents condensation on a variety of surfaces. When you apply our paint, it raises the surface temperature of the internal walls. This increase in temperature changes the dew point - the temperature at which moisture forms on a surface. The result is that condensation takes up to 60% longer to form, providing amazing protection from damp and mould.
Condensation and black mould growth is an issue that affects many properties. Damp and mould look and smell unpleasant, but can also make health conditions worse and contribute to more serious structural issues.
Our innovative water-based paint incorporates the latest micro technology to reduce condensation and prevent mould growth. It works on all interior walls, including in problem rooms like bathrooms and kitchens.
What is anti condensation paint?
Anti condensation paint is any coating that prevents moisture from forming on surfaces. These paints usually repel water as well as provide some thermal insulation. The thermal insulation alters the temperature of surfaces in order to stop moisture from forming.
How does PermaPROTECT Anti Condensation Paint work?
Our PermaPROTECT paint contains a number of tiny hollow glass beads that reflect thermal energy away from the walls. By effectively repelling warm air back into the room, the paint prevents moisture from forming on the walls. This helps prevent mould growth and damp issues. These glass beads represent the latest in micro-technology, with a high crush strength.
The Benefits
With a number of specialist paints on the market, what makes ours the best anti condensation paint is its effectiveness and convenience. The innovative technology it incorporates helps prevent black mould or any other potentially harmful fungi from growing. This protects the health of you and your loved ones, and doesn’t damage your interiors.
PermaPROTECT Anti Condensation Paint is suitable for any interior wall - you can apply it wherever you need it. You can also paint or wallpaper over the anti condensation coating without impacting its performance. This means you get the decorative finish that you want and the protection you need.

Anti condensation paint for metal & plastic
You can use our paint on metal and plastic. It can also be applied over existing paint, wallpaper, plaster, brick and concrete. However, we always recommend that you complete an application test first to make sure you get the desired results.
Applying anti condensation paint
The paint is easy to apply with some basic preparation.
Preparation
Start by making sure the surface you want to paint is free from any mould and fungus. You can use our mould wash concentrate to do this. You can also read our guide to removing mould from walls for more information.
Be sure to remove any loose paint or wallpaper too, and fill any cracks with a suitable crack filler.
Mixing
When the bucket has been opened, stir it well by hand. This ensures that the glass beads are evenly distributed throughout the coating.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not use a mechanical stirrer as this could damage the glass beads. Please also note that this paint may not be suitable for older or listed buildings where lime plasters and breathability are key.
Application
PermaPROTECT Anti Condensation Paint is designed for easy application. You can apply it to your wall with a standard paintbrush or roller. Two coats are required and you need to wait 2-4 hours between coats.
