Mould resistant paint

slhqoue

Hi,

We've recently had our spare attic room plastered and plasterboarded in places. It previously did get spots of black and white mould at times. We're therefore considering using a mould resistant paint rather than what we regularly use.

Normally we use Johnstone's Covaplus Vinyl Matt but instead we're thinking of using Acrylic Durable Matt - would that be a good choice?

Thanks

The best thing to do would be to sort out the cause of the mould not paint over it.
It's usually down to lack of ventilation.

If you want an anti mould paint, the Zinsser perma white is the best. You can get it in matte or silk options, and it can be tinted if you want a colour.

But, I would look to try physical solutions to eliminate mould, like improved ventilation, heating etc.

9 years ago I once resolved a similar problem with two coats of gloss paint and then ordinary emulsion with lasting effect to this day.

Zinsser, 100%. Check their website for what they offer, as above though Perma White is probably the best shout.
