If freedom to customise is your top priority, this anti mould additive might be the solution you’re looking for. But how do you know which paint to choose? After all, there’s plenty of paints on the market CLAIMING to prevent mould but we know as well as anyone that that’s not always the case. Over the past year I have painted almost my entire house with this paint. I am very happy with how it works. I have a old granite cottage in the highlands of Scotland. There has been a massive improvement with condensation and mould. My walls feel warmer to the touch and the bathroom walls are dryer after the shower has been used. Most of the colours are not to my taste but I have used the white a mid grey and the beige which I would say has a nice grey undertone. I have also painted the exterior render of my home with the similar external thermal paint. This has brilliant coverage and looks great with just one coat. I would hand on heart recommend the paints I have used. So with new windows and doors better heating system and all this painting, my little corner of Scotland will fingers crossed be a much warmer one.
