Beautiful, Breathable Paint
When we decided to create our own paint one thing was incredibly important to us. We wanted it to breathable - a paint that could work on both lime and gypsum plaster and one that enabled a building to breathe. A simple, beautiful solution of one wall paint that worked for every type of building and home.
Our True Matt Emulsion is certified as truly breathable.
Breathable paint is great for lots of reasons. It lets moisture flow through the surface, reducing condensation, mould and mildew – in any type of building and helps keep your home happy and healthy. It is suitable for lime plaster and other breathable interior surfaces, as well as standard gypsum.
To be breathable (microporous), paint needs to have an SD (steam diffusion) rating of 1 or lower. The lower the number, the more breathable a paint is. Our True Matt Emulsion has an SD rating of 0.004 which is extremely low.
If you have damp in your walls, True Matt Emulsion allows moisture to be released and evaporate, rather than being trapped. Using a True Matt Emulsion can also contribute to a heathier environment, allowing moisture to easily flow through the surface, reducing condensation, mould and mildew.
