Mould Resistant Paint: Long-Lasting Protection for Humid Areas

If you're tired of mould creeping back into your bathroom, kitchen, or utility room, mould resistant paint could be the answer. Designed to stop fungal growth before it starts, these specialist coatings help maintain clean, hygienic surfaces in moisture-prone environments.

Mould resistant paints from brands such as Dulux and Crown are formulated with powerful fungicidal additives that actively prevent the development of mould and mildew on painted surfaces. Unlike regular emulsion, they’re made to withstand condensation, steam, and poor ventilation – common issues in modern homes. Many products are also washable or scrubbable, allowing you to clean the surface without damaging the finish.

You can use mould resistant paint on walls, ceilings, window reveals, and even wooden surfaces that need extra protection. They’re available in a range of colours and finishes, including matt, satin, and eggshell, so you don’t have to sacrifice style for practicality. For example, Farrow and Ball Modern Emulsion is mould resistant whilst offering a wide range of colours that are rich and sumptuous in colour depth, and Mylands Marble Matt Emulsion is richly pigmented. Some brands offer combination formulas that prime and finish in one coat, saving you time on preparation.

Application is usually straightforward: clean the surface thoroughly, ensure any existing mould is treated, and apply using a roller or brush. Once dry, the paint forms a breathable but resistant barrier that helps keep damp-related issues at bay.

Key Features:
• Contains fungicides to inhibit mould and mildew growth
• Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms
• Washable, durable finishes in a range of colours
• Easy to apply with long-lasting protection
• Suitable for walls, ceilings, and woodwork

Summary:
Mould resistant paint offers a simple, effective way to keep walls and ceilings looking clean and fresh in high-humidity areas. It combines practical protection with decorative appeal, helping you stay one step ahead of mould without constant maintenance.
