Introduction

Understanding Condensation on Walls & Ceilings

Warm, moist air hits cold surfaces, causing water droplets and damp patches on walls or ceilings. This can lead to mould, paint damage, and an unhealthy indoor environment.

Why Do You Need It?

Conventional paints may temporarily conceal stains but can’t stop condensation from returning. Over time, dampness seeps through, resulting in repeated redecorations.

SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint: The Go‑To Solution

With a water‑based, slightly textured formula, SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint creates a thermal barrier. By keeping wall and ceiling surfaces warmer, it prevents condensation from forming—so your spaces stay drier and free from mould.

How to Stop Condensation on Walls and Ceilings

Surface Prep

1. Eliminate Mould: Apply a fungicidal cleaner like Fluxaf Mould Remover if any mildew or black spots are visible.
2. Clean & Sand: Remove peeling paint, dust, or grease. Smooth out rough or glossy sections.
3. Dry the Surface: Ensure surfaces aren’t saturated. Slight dampness is fine, but major moisture requires resolution first.

Application

1. Stir Properly: Mix SPO Anti‑Condensation Paint for a consistent texture.
2. Brush/Roller Technique: Coat walls or ceilings evenly—don’t worry if it’s slightly thicker than normal emulsion.
3. Wait ~4 Hours: Once dry, you can apply a topcoat if preferred.
4. How It Works: The insulation effect raises surface temperatures, preventing moisture from condensing on the paint film.
