Our mould resistant paint is ideal for interior walls, wall cavities, ceilings, trim, doors and all related paintable surfaces.

PermaWhite® will adhere to gloss or semi-gloss paints, existing wallcoverings, ceramic tile and similar glossy surfaces without prior sanding. Before applying PermaWhite® to bare plaster it must first be sealed with a primer e.g. BullsEye® 1-2-3.
Surfaces must be clean, dry, sound and free of dirt, dust, grease, wax, wallcovering adhesive, soap film, loose paint or other surface contamination. Wash surfaces with Zinsser® Universal Degreaser & Cleaner and rinse thoroughly. Ensure surfaces are completely dry before painting, a maximum moisture content of 16%. We recommend removing all existing mould and mildew before painting, such as with Zinsser® Mould Killer & Remover
PermaWhite® is available in tint bases that can be tintted to BS525F, RAL and NCS colours. Always stir thoroughly and check the paint colour on an inconspicuous area before full application. Multiple containers of tinted paint of the same colour, used on a single project should be intermixed (boxed) to ensure colour uniformity.
Painting over mould resistant paint will prevent it from working. Zinsser PermaWhite® is designed to be tough and durable for up to 7 years. It is also washable and scrubbable to ensure a great looking surface for years to come.
What our customers are saying about PermaWhite® Satin
I was looking for a Brilliant White satin paint to use in a cold damp porch and for a bathroom ceiling. I looked at all of the products available but chose this one. The clincher was that it was mould-resistant, and this had been an issue in both areas, plus it is self-priming. I was impressed by the coverage and quality of the paint. It went on easy and dried quickly. Both the ceiling and the porch look outstanding in brightness and finish. I’ve got lots of painting to do over the next few weeks and months and will be using this paint all around the house. I’ll rate it 10/10.
Really happy with the performance of this paint in bathrooms with pressured showers and an external extractor fan installed. It does seem to prevent the ceiling paint going mouldy. Used in a couple of bathrooms last year and could then see the benefit when returned to the house this year. So have now painted the ceilings of a few more bathrooms with this same paint.
Two hours drying time between coats was brilliant, got so much done in the day. Extremely pleased with final result.
