Stain Blocker Paint
If you are looking for a stain blocker primer, Zinsser Coverstain & BIN both offer excellent stain protection. They act as undercoats that seal the surface, preventing any stains coming through and discolouring the paint. They are cheaper than stain blocker paint and if you are overcoating them in a colour are perfect for preventing stains!
Alternatively, there are stain blocking primer and paints in one solution such as Zinsser Grade 1, that is an example of a matt emulsion that will isolate even the most persistent stains.

What Is Stain Blocker Paint?
Stain blocker paint & primers are special formulations for both interior & exterior walls that not only cover stain but block them moving forward. It is a commonly held belief that simply painting over stains will prevent them from being visible, but this isn't true. Often caused by water leaks or nicotine damage, if the interior stains are not dealt with, they will continue to transfer through the paint.
Stain blocker paints refer to all-in-one solutions that both prime & paint a surface, not only saving time but also money. There are other paints such as anti-condensation paint that can also assist in preventing mould growth. One such example is Suretherm, which is an excellent anti-mould paint.

Does Stain Block Work On Mould?
Stain blocker paint & primers work on almost all stains, including water leaks and mould. Once the mould has been removed, the stain left by the mould can be covered using stain blockers to prevent an unsightly mark. It is important to remember that stain blockers are not anti-damp treatments, as they will not prevent the source of damp, which is usually penetrating moisture from exterior walls or water leaks. It is crucial to solve these problems before applying a stain blocker.
How To Use Stain Block Paint
The application process of stain blocking treatments completely depends on the product you are using. For example primers such as Zinsser Bullseye 1-2-3 are applied as one-coat layer before painting.
