Anti Condensation Coating
PermaSEAL Anti Condensation Paint is a specially formulated coating that can be applied to various internal surfaces to prevent condensation. When you apply this condensation paint, it raises the surface temperature of the internal walls - it’s actually warm to touch! 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 are an issue experienced in many properties. Damp and mould look and smell unpleasant, but can also make health conditions worse and contribute to more serious structural issues.
PermaSEAL anti condensation paint is designed to reduce condensation and prevent mould growth. This innovative water-based paint incorporates the latest micro technology in order to achieve this. It works on all interior walls, including 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 are usually designed to repel water as well as provide some thermal insulation. The thermal insulation is all about altering the temperature of surfaces in order to stop moisture forming.
How does PermaSEAL anti condensation paint work?
PermaSEAL Anti Condensation 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 and causing damp issues and mould growth. These glass beads represent the latest in micro-technology, with a high crush strength.
