How waterproof is this paint compared to traditional waterproofing membranes?

Our Waterproofing Paint provides excellent moisture resistance suitable for most interior applications. For heavy-duty waterproofing like shower bases or constant water immersion, we recommend using it in conjunction with a waterproofing membrane for maximum protection.

Can I use this paint in a shower recess?

Yes, this paint is suitable for shower walls when applied over a properly installed waterproofing membrane. For shower bases and areas of constant water contact, a membrane system must be used underneath. Always ensure proper surface preparation and application of two full coats.

How long before I can expose the painted surface to water?

While the paint is touch-dry in 2-3 hours, we recommend waiting a minimum of 7 days before regular water exposure. This allows the paint to fully cure and develop its maximum waterproofing properties.

Will this paint prevent existing mould?

This paint prevents future mould growth through its moisture-resistant and antimicrobial properties. However, existing mould must be properly treated and removed before painting. Clean the surface with a mould remover and ensure it's completely dry before application.

Can this be tinted to different colors?

Yes, this paint can be tinted using premium quality tints. We recommend having it professionally tinted at a paint store to ensure color consistency and maintain the waterproofing properties. Always tint the entire quantity needed for your project at once.

Is special ventilation needed during application?

While this is a zero-VOC paint with minimal odor, we always recommend good ventilation during application and drying for best results. This also helps achieve optimal drying times and paint performance.
