Introduction
Understanding Condensation in Bathrooms & Shower Rooms
Bathrooms and shower rooms produce high levels of steam. When warm moisture contacts cooler surfaces, condensation forms—leading to damp odours, peeling paint, and potential mould.
Why Do You Need It?
Standard paints aren’t built to handle constant humidity. They can trap moisture behind the paint film, causing flaking, blistering, and long‑term mould issues.
SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint: The Go‑To Solution
Formulated with a slightly textured, insulating layer, SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint raises the surface temperature, drastically reducing condensation. Its built‑in biocidal protection guards against mould and mildew, ensuring your bathroom stays fresh and hygienic.
How to Stop Condensation in Bathrooms & Shower Rooms
Surface Prep
- Remove Existing Mould or Mildew: Use a proprietary mould remover like Fluxaf Mould Cleaner and scrub thoroughly.
- Clean & Dry: Make sure surfaces are free from soap scum, oils, and loose paint.
- Sand if Needed: Lightly abrade glossy areas for better paint adhesion.
Application
- Stir Thoroughly: SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint must be well‑mixed.
- Even Coat: Apply with a brush or short pile roller. Aim for a uniform, slightly textured layer—avoid heavy buildup.
- Fast Overcoat Time (~4 Hours): Ready for your decorative topcoat (if desired) once the anti‑condensation layer has dried.
- How It Works: By insulating the wall and increasing surface temperature, it stops moisture from condensing.
