Choosing the right bathroom paint isn’t just about colour—it’s about protecting your walls and ceiling from constant moisture, mould, and anything else that comes with bathrooms.
Bathrooms are moisture magnets, and not all paints are up for the challenge. In this blog we break down what makes the perfect paint for your bathroom and why our Claypaint has what it takes to handle the heat… and humidity!
When selecting paint for a bathroom, it’s essential to prioritise breathability and moisture control.
Bathrooms are prone to steam, humidity, and condensation, which can lead to peeling, flaking, and even mould.
Here are a few key features you should look for when choosing the best bathroom paint.
Durable coverage is important. Bathrooms endure frequent use, and walls and ceilings need paint that won’t peel or flake.
The best paint for bathroom surfaces should offer long lasting coverage, even in a constantly moist environment.
Moisture permeability is a must! Given the humidity levels in bathrooms, its important that you opt for a paint that is high in breathability, allowing water to pass freely through its surface and not trap it.
Be on the lookout for paints that are specifically designed to work with moisture to prevent problems like bubbling, peeling, and mildew.
Recommended bathroom paint options should always offer some level of breathability – crucial for preventing condensation and reducing the likelihood of mould growth.
Mould Protection – mould thrives in damp conditions, so choosing a good bathroom paint that actively prevents its growth can save you time and money in future maintenance and ensure a healthy space within your home.
Don’t forget to consider paint for bathroom ceiling. It often gets the brunt of condensation as damp air rises. Paint with moisture resistance and anti-mould properties is especially important for bathroom ceilings.
Now that we know what to look for, let’s see if Our Claypaint can meet the demands of a high-moisture environment like a bathroom.
Our Claypaint is made from natural clay, providing a thick ultra matt finish that won’t easily peel or flake, even in challenging environments like bathrooms.
Its unique properties make it an excellent choice for long term use on both bathroom walls and ceilings.
One of our Claypaint’s standout features is it’s highly breathable and washable with great coverage power.
Claypaint isn’t ideal for areas prone to splashes, but for a more durable option, our Lifestyle paint offers greater durability.
While our Claypaint offers good moisture resistance, it’s crucial to note that for best results use in well-ventilated bathrooms.
Claypaint can absorb and release moisture, which helps reduce the risk of condensation and dampness, but good ventilation may be necessary in bathrooms with excessive moisture.
Our Claypaint’s natural breathability sets it apart from many standard emulsion alternatives.
It’s porous and hygroscopic structure allows moisture to escape rather than becoming trapped behind the paint, reducing condensation and the potential for mould to grow.
This feature makes it a great recommendation, especially for people prioritising indoor air quality. That’s why we think Claypaint is the best paint for your bathroom.
