Product Information

Damp seal paint or also known as anti damp paint is used on walls and surfaces that have been affected by the build up of moisture. The build up of moisture can cause the damp to spread through interior walls leaving water stains and streaks to can be unappealing to the eye.

This can vary from brand to brand. Some can dry in as little as 2-3 hours and be ready to paint or paper over in approximately 4 hours. The one coat paint should do as it says on the tin (one coat should be enough), but in certain cases you might prefer to apply an additional coat. How Do You Seal Damp Before Painting? Rising damp is more than just a touch of mildew or mould, it’s indicative of an underlying condition that will reoccur unless moisture is prevented from rising and entering the walls. With anti damp paint you need to make sure that the area the damp seal is being applied to is thoroughly cleaned, prepared and fully dry before you start the painting process for the best results. If applying multiple coats then allow the surface the dry, so allow atleast 8 hours before you go ahead and add another coat of the damp seal. The Polar damp seal can be used as a finished surface paint or can be applied and dired out for antidamp protection before you apply an overcoat paint or wallpaper to the room.To prevent damp from seeping through then you can use a high quality anti damp paint that creates a barrier that prevents moisture from penetrating and spreading within your home. You can of course then paint over the damp seal with a normal paint of your choosing but it’s not necessary unless you would like a different colour to white (which is the colour most damp seals come in).
