Damp Proof Paints
Struggling with persistent damp? Damp-proof paints are advanced coatings specifically formulated to stop moisture from penetrating interior surfaces such as walls and ceilings. Unlike standard emulsion paints, which are primarily decorative and breathable, damp-proof paints form a waterproof barrier that resists water ingress, helping to preserve both the structural soundness and appearance of your surfaces.

Stop Damp at the Source with High-Performance Damp-Proof Paints
Damp-proof paints are specially formulated to prevent moisture from seeping through walls, ceilings, and floors, offering a critical barrier against common damp types, including rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation. These coatings are particularly effective in high-moisture areas such as bathrooms, basements, kitchens, and laundry rooms, helping to preserve both the structural integrity and appearance of interior surfaces. When applied correctly, they form a tough, water-resistant layer that resists staining, peeling, and mould growth. For ceiling areas where discolouration is an issue, a stain-blocking ceiling paint can be used alongside damp-proof systems to maintain a consistent finish.
In high-humidity environments where condensation is frequent, pairing damp-proof paint with a mould-inhibiting anti-mould paint offers extra protection. These paints are compatible with masonry, plaster, concrete, and even previously painted surfaces, and many can be overcoated with decorative topcoats like magnolia paint for a clean, classic look. Whether for homes, schools, commercial kitchens, or public buildings, damp-proof paints are a vital part of moisture control and long-term property maintenance.
Damp-Proof Paint FAQs
Where can I apply damp-proof paint indoors?
It’s suitable for use on interior walls and ceilings, especially in damp-prone spaces like basements, bathrooms, kitchens, and utility rooms.
Can I apply standard emulsion over damp-proof paint?
Yes, once fully cured, many damp-proof paints can often be overcoated with standard emulsions such as magnolia paint. Always check the manufacturer’s guidance for compatibility.
Will damp-proof paint stop black mould from returning?
It can help prevent moisture build-up, but for added protection in problem areas, use it in combination with a dedicated anti-mould paint for long-term resistance.
Do I need to prepare the surface before using damp-proof paint?
Yes, remove any flaking paint, clean the surface, and ensure it’s free from grease or active mould. On porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be required.
How many coats of damp-proof paint should I apply?
Typically, two coats are recommended for effective moisture protection. Allow each coat to dry fully before applying the next.
Is it safe to use damp-proof paint in occupied buildings?
Most water-based damp-proof paints are low odour and safe for indoor use. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying for the best results.
