Black or greenish stains appearing in corners, a persistent musty smell, flaking walls… Mould on walls is a nightmare for many owners and tenants. On top of ruining the look of your interior, it can harm your respiratory health.
Fortunately, this problem is not inevitable. Discover where it comes from and how to apply the right anti-humidity treatment to bring back a healthy, protected home.
What is mould and where does it come from?
Mould is made of microscopic fungi (spores) that grow and spread through the air. To settle and proliferate on your plaster, concrete or old paint, it needs one essential trigger: humidity.
The main causes of mould appearing in your home are usually:
- Condensation: it occurs when warm, humid air in a room meets a cold wall. Typical in poorly ventilated bathrooms and kitchens.
- Lack of ventilation: permanently closed windows or no ventilation system trap humidity inside.
- Water infiltration: a crack on the exterior façade or an invisible pipe leak that soaks the wall.
- Rising damp: ground moisture rising directly into the foundations and walls of ground-floor rooms.
Bathrooms often combine condensation with a desire for change: the perfect time to revamp your bathroom tiling while permanently cleaning up the walls.
Which anti-humidity paint should you use to fight mould?
Applying a classic paint to an area affected by humidity is a common mistake. The paint will quickly blister and flake, and black stains will reappear within a few weeks.
To clean up your interior for good, you must use a specific anti-mould paint, combined with effective anti-humidity action. This kind of technical coating has fungicidal properties: it acts as an active protective shield that prevents fungal spores from surviving and developing on the paint film.
