Mould in the living room is less common than in wet spaces, but can occur as a result of moisture problems or insufficient ventilation — such as thermal bridges and leaks. A Mould-resistant paint can then provide additional surface protection, in any desired colour, as a supplement to tackling moisture and ventilation.
Where mould in the living room comes from
- Thermal bridge — warm air meeting cold surfaces causes condensation (particularly in colder months) on windows, walls and corners. Without effective moisture removal, this becomes a breeding ground for mould.
- Leaks — from roofs, pipes, windows or walls; if not repaired quickly, they lead to mould, and even after repair the situation must return to balance.
- Insufficient ventilation — humid air and insufficient airflow allow moisture to accumulate, promoting mould growth.
A mould-resistant finish as a supplement
Given these risks, mould-resistant paint can provide additional surface protection against mould in the living room: a paint whose dry paint film is resistant to attack by mould (tested in accordance with EN 15457). The paint is available in various colours and finishes (matt, gloss and satin) and in the desired RAL colours, so it can complement your interior. Its high practical coverage and good opacity keep consumption down. It remains a supplement: ventilation, moisture control and maintenance remain decisive for a healthy living environment.
