Introduction

Understanding Kitchen Condensation

Cooking generates plenty of steam. If kitchen walls are cooler than the surrounding air, condensation droplets form—leading to damp patches, mould, and paint discolouration over time.

Why Do You Need It?

High humidity and steam exposure make standard paints prone to bubbling or flaking. Frequent cooking aggravates the moisture problem, causing ongoing upkeep headaches.

SPO Anti-Condensation PaintSPO Anti‑Condensation Paint: The Go‑To Solution

SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint adds a slightly textured, insulating barrier to your kitchen walls. This barrier warms the surface so steam won’t condense, preventing damp spots and discouraging mould growth.

How to Stop Condensation in Kitchens

Surface Prep

  1. Degrease & Clean: Remove cooking oils, grease, or food splatters for better paint adhesion (Fluxaf Power Clean).
  2. Check for Mould: Treat any existing mould with a suitable fungicidal cleaner (Fluxaf Mould Remover)
  3. Smooth the Surface: Lightly sand flaking or glossy areas and wipe away dust.

Application

  1. Stir Well: Mix SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint thoroughly before use.
  2. Uniform Coat: Brush or roller a thin, even layer; a slight texture is expected.
  3. 4‑Hour Overcoat: Paint is typically ready for another coat or a decorative topcoat in about 4 hours.
  4. How It Works: By insulating the substrate, it keeps moisture from condensing on cool surfaces.
