Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint holds the heat on the surface which prevents condensation and mould growth
Suretherm Anti-Condensation Paint (ACP) is a water based internal emulsion which will significantly reduce condensation and mould by utilising Glass Microsphere Technology. Unlike other anti condensation paints, Suretherm paint does not contain any harmful biocides.
Walls painted with Suretherm Anti Condensation Paint feel warmer to the touch as the heat from your hand is being reflected back instead of being drawn to the colder surface of the wall and escaping.
When incorporated into a paint film, glass microspheres act as miniature Thermos-like bottles, providing a thermal barrier between cold surfaces and the warmer ambient temperature within a living space. As the air is insulated against the colder wall surface, condensation and mould growth is drastically reduced.
Another benefit of Suretherm paint is that it can be overpainted. Anti mould paints and anti condensation paints that are hygroscopic (meaning they attract moisture from the air) cannot be overpainted. This is because the active film will be covered over if you apply a coating over the top. Suretherm can be overpainted or wallpapered which will not effect the performance.
Heat passes straight through emulsion paint as well as ordinary anti-mould paints
Suretherm thermal anti condensation paint can be used in various applications where condensation can create problems where moisture forms and mould grows.
The main uses for Suretherm are:
Suretherm reduces mould and can be used on most surfaces such as painted/wallpapered walls and ceilings, new and old plaster work, brickwork, concrete, galvanised steel and most painted plastics. It should be noted that to ensure compatibility on metal and plastic, a small test patch should be trialled before commencing full application.
Whatever the application, the surfaces must be completely dry before treating to allow Suretherm to work effectively.
Independent tests confirm that surfaces treated with Suretherm take more than twice as long to cool down when compared to ordinary emulsion paint.
Condensation takes 57% longer to form on Suretherm coated surfaces compared to ordinary emulsion paint.
*Suretherm is sample #D
Once the surfaces have been cleaned using Suretherm Preparation Treatment Spray, Suretherm Paint can be applied by brush or medium pile roller.
Quick tips:
Suretherm can be spray applied using the correct equipment. See data sheet for full specification.
This property was suffering from condensation and mould growth, particularly at the wall to ceiling junction as shown.
The area was poorly insulated which created "cold spots" which caused condensation to form and mould to grow.
Suretherm was applied on 2nd December 2015 and was inspected over three months later on 14th March 2016.
The results show that the mould has not grown back on areas treated with Suretherm.
This house was suffering from major condensation and mould issues throughout the whole property. The tenant regularly wiped mould from the surfaces but it kept coming back.
The area was poorly insulated which created "cold spots" which caused condensation to form and mould to grow.
Suretherm was applied on 1st February and was inspected 10 weeks later on 12th April 2016.
The results overwhelmingly prove that Suretherm really works!
Hi both – just re-discovered this email and wanted to fulfil my obligation regarding a reference for the thermal paint!
I have lived in a 1930s end terraced property for three years now and have been plagued with condensation and black mould on the walls in one of the bedrooms. The room in question is North facing and has two external walls. It’s also the smallest room in the house and as such, furniture is pushed up close to the walls making ventilation very limited. For the first two years, over the autumn and winter months condensation and black mould would regularly appear on the two external walls. After using the thermal paint, the issues completely vanished. We applied two coats of the thermal paint and then, once dried we applied two coats of standard emulsion. We have since been through another autumn and winter with no recurrence of the issues. The walls feel physically warmer to the touch and I have been very impressed with the product. I would confidently recommend this product to others.
Best regards
Martyn Hadacre
Independent test results show that Suretherm out performs 2 other "Thermal" paints as well as ordinary emulsion.
