Handymen can repaint your house too!

There are various types of anti-condensation paint. Some are formulated by exceeding the CPVC (Critical Concentration Volume of Pigments) making the dry paint layer highly porous.

Condensation forms more easily on cold surfaces in the house, for example on north-facing walls and ceilings. In some cases, those surfaces can be heated by improving thermal insulation. Although in many cases this is not possible due to the configuration of the house or the cost of the renovation. Talk to professional handyman services in Tallahassee to get a quote.

Furthermore, the presence of  condensation on the walls  can cause damage to the finishes , such as detachment of the paint, favor the proliferation of molds that make the environment unhealthy and often cause allergies, can generate rust and rot the windows with the frame. Wood.

Anti-condensation wall paint: a valid solution to combat condensation

More generally, the effects of the presence of condensation occur in the corners, in the north-facing walls or in the presence of shafts.

Anti-condensation wall paint: a valid solution to combat condensation

There are various types of anti-condensation paint . Some are formulated by exceeding the CPVC (Critical Concentration Volume of Pigments) making the dry paint layer highly porous.

These paints act like a sponge by absorbing condensation water. They are of poor quality, not resistant to stains or rubbing and favor the development of mold and rust, allowing the proliferation of fungi, black spots and rapid degradation of the wall.

The best anti-condensation paints are formulated below the CPVC threshold making the dry paint film non-porous, impenetrable to water, resistant to stains and rubbing. Furthermore, the use of fungicides helps to intensify the duration of the paint.

In addition to these chemical-physical properties, the most important quality for a good anti-condensation paint is the low thermal conductivity, which, by ensuring a good level of thermal insulation, allows the temperature of the wall surface to be increased by a few degrees.

If the temperature of the wall in contact with the ambient humidity is higher, condensation will not form on its surface or its formation will be delayed.
