Anti Condensation Paint
Anti condensation paint is paint that is specially designed to prevent the formation of condensation on interior walls & ceilings. By preventing condensation, these paints help to keep walls & ceilings free from mould growth and also help to maintain the temperature of otherwise cold walls.
Anti condensation paints such as Suretherm are white, water-based interior emulsions that can be applied to already painted walls & ceilings and then overcoated using any emulsion paint. Simply applying two coats of the anti condensation paint before you decorate will give you the protection you need against mould growth, leaving you worry free.

What Is Anti Condensation Paint?
Anti condensation paint is thermal paint that is designed to prevent the formation of condensation on interior walls & ceilings. They achieve this by retaining heat, which in turn allows them to reduce the chance of condensation forming. Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint for example contains glass microspheres that become charged like a battery. These glass microspheres retain heat over twice as long as standard emulsion, allowing it to keep the painted surface warmer, thus preventing the formation of condensation which is made easier on cold walls.
Another key benefit of anti condensation paint is their ability to prevent mould growth. Aside from the aesthetic damage that black mould causes, it can pose a health risk to those living in a property, especially those that are vulnerable to respiratory problems. Mould requires high-moisture conditions to thrive, which are conditions that are preventing with anti-condensation paint.
Where Should I Use Anti Condensation Paint?
Anti condensation paint is recommended for a number of uses:
- On particularly cold interior walls & ceilings, especially those that are missing insulation
- In high humidity rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms
- In industrial environments
- On prefabricated structures
- In areas where mould grows
Which Paint Brands Offer Anti Condensation Paint?
Here at Painters World we only stock the highest quality paints. We stock one of the most advanced anti condensation paints available in the UK, Suretherm. Suretherm is independently tested to retain heat 116% longer than standard paint, can be painted over with any emulsion and does not contain any harmful biocides.
How To Apply Anti Condensation Paint
You must ensure that the surface is clean & free from mould before applying any paint. A suitable mould cleaning solution would be Zinsser Mould Killer & Remover. Once the surface is clean & free from mould, lightly abrade any glossy surfaces and remove any dust. We would recommend applying Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint, which is as good as it gets when it comes to mould prevention. For best results use a medium pile roller to apply two coats of Suretherm at approximately 8-10m2 per litre, allowing 4 hours between coats. Once completely dry and two coats have been applied, you can wallpaper over the surface or apply a coloured emulsion paint of your choice.
