Is there a sealer paint type of thing that can be put on walls before painting that stops it getting damp etc?

Question

in corners?

Answer 1

When I had this problem I contacted Kiltox in London via their Website and explained my predicament. They gave me some valuable advice and I bought a mould control kit from them. You don;t have to have the whole kit, you can buy whatsever suits you best. It was excellent and I haven't had any problems since then. Their direct no is 08451 662040 but you can ask questions on line as well and they are quick to answer.

Answer 2

No there is no paint that will prevent your dampness, sounds like you've got a moisture problem due to not enough insulation in your walls causing condensation in your corners. If this is happening in your bathroom and don't have a ceiling fan than open a window a little when showering. If it's in your basement than yes their is a paint made by UGL called dryloc but I don't think that's your question.

Answer 3

If you are referring to a concrete wall, as in a basement, look for a product called "DryLoc" . I used it on my basement walls and it worked. I don't know if it would work for really bad water that runs in, for that you would need more than just a sealer. But for dampness only, it did a good job.

Answer 4

Wash the partitions with a extremely solid detergent, and rinse nicely. After the wall dries, bypass over it with a hand sander using a medium grit sand paper. Wipe the partitions down with a humid rag to get rid of dirt from sanding. After the wall is carefully dry, you're arranged to color. looking on what sort of paint you are going to positioned on, you'll be able to or won't desire to apply a primer. yet white isn't no longer undemanding to hide, so which you should desire to objective a small spot and enable it dry till now you do something of the wall, this way you will discover no rely in case you like the end result without the primer.

Answer 5

You can buy damp proof paint. The paint will stop the damp coming through but will not solve the damp problem, IE it will still be there it just wont come through the area that has been treated.

Answer 6

firstly you have to test the damage to the wall with a dampness reader and then decide what the best course of action is to treat the wall. after that you can aquire a undercoat sealer.

Go to the paint supply section at Home Depot or Lowe's for the best answer.
