π¨ You may hear the term "breathable paint" when discussing period and heritage properties, but what does it actually mean?
Traditional walls can absorb and release moisture naturally. Breathable or vapour-permeable finishes allow this process to continue, rather than creating a less permeable layer that may contribute to moisture becoming trapped within the wall.
Choosing a finish that works with the building is particularly important in older properties. Sometimes the best paint isn't simply about colour or durability - it's about understanding the surface underneath. ποΈ
