GLOSSARY TERM

Mildew Resistance

The ability of paint to resist the growth of mildew and mould.

INFO

What it is

Mildew resistance is a coating's ability to resist the growth of mould and mildew on its surface. Such coatings discourage the spores that thrive in damp conditions.

Why it matters

Mould and mildew are unsightly, can affect air quality, and are hard to remove once established. A mildew-resistant coating stays cleaner for longer in damp areas, reducing maintenance.

Where it is used on a project

Useful in bathrooms, kitchens, and poorly ventilated interiors, and on exterior surfaces that stay damp or shaded.

How NECC approaches it

In damp-prone areas, we can specify coatings with mildew resistance so the finish stays cleaner and healthier for longer, after proper surface preparation.
