Bathroom Paint

Bathrooms are wet and steamy! Damp air from hot baths and showers collects on the walls and water splashes directly from the shower, bath and sink onto them too! This moisture can penetrate the paint layer and contact the drywall or plaster beneath leading to peeling paint and mould growth. How do you avoid this difficulty? Use bathroom paint.

Bathroom paint is formulated using high-quality resins that coalesce into a tight barrier preventing them from absorbing moisture from the air. They usually contain high levels of mildewcide to slow the growth of mildew. Good bathroom paint is slightly tougher and more resilient than other interior paints and can handle a bit of scrubbing. One unique feature of bathroom paint is that it gives the option of many paint sheens. When using standard interior paint in moist areas, you must choose from satin, semi-gloss or high gloss. Bathroom paints allow you to also choose matte or flat versions. Specialty bathroom paints cost a bit more than regular interior paint but the expense is made up for in the lasting abilities of the coating.
