Best anti-mould paint

sweaty_betty

Hi there - we have some mould growing on one of our inside walls and have been advised to clean it off then paint with an anti-mould paint.

Years ago we had mould in a bathroom (different property) and were recommended some paint that was supposed to be the best on the market, usually used by professionals etc and much superior to general DIY shop brands.

However, I can't remember for the life of me what it was called and the tin is long since used up.

Can anyone recommend a decent, industrial strength paint we could use here?

TIA

It is probably Condensation that is causing the mould.

Have you tried better ventilation?

The brand of anti condensation paint is completely academic unless you deal with the cause of the condensation.

Was it Zinnser?

zinnser perma white paint should last 5 years without mould http://www.zinsseruk.com/Shop/Product.aspx?cId=128&pgId=377
this can be tinted

as pointed out , you need to get an extractor fan fitted if possible or at the very least keep window open or get a small dehumidifier

Thanks for your replies. I'll look out for the paint.

Unfortunately the mould this time is in the bedroom, not bathroom, so an extractor fan isn't really an option.

We've had a couple of plasterers around because we thought there was a problem with moisture getting in through the walls, but they both said it was condensation and to clean off the mould and treat with anti-mould paint.

Any other suggestions welcome though

We have a similar issue and always have a small window open on the latch as well as the vent open.

So this has been very handy for us too.
