Combat humidity, prevent condensation, hide and limit mold: OXI by Durieu

And when a home has good insulation (roof, windows), it is essential to go all the way and work on the paint in the risk areas so as not to jeopardize the overall insulation. The worst enemy of the latter is humidity. As soon as it appears, it risks sabotaging the benefits of the insulation and also damaging the supports (appearance of mold, blisters in the paint, etc.). Humidity also goes hand in hand with condensation and you must therefore learn to "control" these phenomena and protect yourself from them to guarantee a better insulated home. Because a cast iron radiator cannot be protected like a convector, it is necessary to make the right choice.

humidity

Humidity is a scourge because it prevents the insulation from playing its role properly and does not allow the heat to be maintained inside.

A humid room will require much more energy to maintain an acceptable temperature compared to a healthy environment. Several factors can cause humidity: poor insulation, poor ventilation or condensation present in the room.

The condensation

Condensation arises from the confrontation between hot air and cold air and contributes to maintaining a harmful humid environment, often leading to mold.

Another essential step is therefore to combat condensation to limit the appearance and presence of humidity.

The molds

Molds arise from the first two factors and once in place, require a complete renovation of the paintwork (once the surface has dried)...

The attacked surface is often stained with more or less stubborn blackish marks and stains.

It is therefore necessary to use a product that will allow these disorders to be correctly and effectively masked while preventing their reappearance.

OXI, specialist in technical and decorative paints, has developed a trio which provides effective protection against humidity, condensation and mold in rooms at risk in particular but also applicable throughout the house.

Anti-humidity paint

Moisture is present de facto, by the function of the room, or that it appeared after an accident (leak, ventilation problem ...), it is imperative to apply in this universe a paint, at least as an undercoat, which will fight against humidity. This is what ANTI-HUMIDITY PAINT allows by providing the support with a first protective finish (which can be covered by another decorative one).

Stop the spread of moisture

Once its cause has been treated in the event of an accident) with its composition reinforced with minerals, this paint reacts with the humidity of the support by creating a barrier which blocks infiltration.

THE PLUS: thanks to its microporous qualities, the paint “breathes”, allows humidity to escape and the support to dry out without creating a pocket of humidity.

Anti-condensation paint

In rooms particularly subject to the appearance of water vapor, subsequently generating condensation, protecting the supports with a dedicated solution helps to avoid this phenomenon.

Create an insulating mattress

Thanks to the billions of air-filled microspheres in its composition, ANTI-CONDENSATION PAINT creates a blanket that insulates colder areas from ambient water vapor to prevent condensation from forming.

RESULT: the room is healthier, there is no mold and the finish lasts! In addition, ANTI-CONDENSATION PAINT is washable to allow maintenance of bathrooms or kitchens without wearing out the coating.

Special masking paint for mold stains

When mold appears, you must first treat the cause and then provide a solution to renovate and protect the surface. SPECIAL AFTER-MOLD STAIN MASKING PAINT protects and hides mold stains.

Treat and hide

Thanks to its unique composition and protective film, this paint helps limit the reappearance or development of micro-organisms on its surface. It also provides an opacifying layer that completely hides existing mold stains. Walls and ceilings are ready for a second life, especially since the finish can be covered with other decorative finishes.

Breath of bright white: new life for kitchens & bathrooms

Anti-condensation kitchen & bathroom paint

OXI ANTI-CONDENSATION KITCHEN & BATHROOM PAINT is dedicated to the essential everyday spaces of the bathroom and kitchen. Constantly exposed to humidity, these rooms require a suitable finish to guarantee a clean and healthy environment that lasts.

Water-based matte paint, ANTI-CONDENSATION KITCHEN & BATHROOM PAINT is composed of high-performance acrylic resins and air-filled microspheres that create an insulating mattress between cold walls and water vapor. Condensation formation is thus greatly reduced, walls remain healthier, and the finish lasts longer.

THE PLUSES: Supports protected against humidity = less mold and bacteria.

ANTI-CONDENSATION KITCHEN & BATHROOM PAINT is EUROPEAN ECOLABEL certified: guarantee of covering and drying performance / Reduced solvent content / Limitation of environmental impacts (during its manufacture, use and recycling).
