Breathable Paint for Interior Walls & Lime Plaster
Breathable paints are designed to allow moisture or water vapour to pass through the surface, rather than trapping it inside your walls. In homes where damp is present, particularly solid wall traditionally built properties, breathability is essential. It allows moisture a clear route to escape, avoiding damage to walls and paint finish.
You'll see plenty of products labelled as breathable paint, but the term is often used loosely confusing customers. True breathability is measured by SD value, the lower the number the easier it is for moisture vapour to pass through the paint.
When damp prone walls are painted with conventional paints the moisture can build up behind the paint (due to most paint being made from plastic) which eventually destroys the plaster, which can cause no end of issues. Damp walls cause mould and mildew, which using breathable paint can help avoid.
Breathable paint for lime plaster: If painting over lime plaster, Auro 344 is ideal as it is a lime based paint, although Auro 555 is compatible if you want colours. Bare plaster? Use this plaster primer.
