chirpy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 depends whether you want to paint wood or concrete? which is the substate you wish to paint.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattjazz Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you mean interior emulsion it is called "obliteration emulsion".Its what is used on new builds as they need to breathe as the plaster is never dry.I've used this throughout my house and had no problems.

Julie Clare Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Thanks for message, had that one in mind, but wasn't sure whether they were the right sort, obviously they would be OK. I can get that in UK and take over. It is new dry lined walls we would be painting. We have a problem with damp stone walls that we need to rectify, and are working on that one, but I don't want to seal more damp in so am seeking a non vinyl distemper -type paint.Cheers Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Clare Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Mattjazz, Sounds like what I need, has it a French name and brand, and can I get it in Big Mat or Weldoms (ex Maxibrico)? We need to paint newly dry lined walls. When we first bought the house, we made the mistake of slapping vinyl emulsion on everything, then wondered why it blistered and peeled off !!Thanks againJulie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Clare Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 Hi Ab, Plasterboard - new drylining.Julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirpy Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 If you are attaching plasterboard to a wall then most of the dampness will be between the wall and new plasterboard which I assume you have attached to a frame,probably metal,to give a new wall without the roughness of the original.In that case I would use a good quality acrylic emulsion.WHEN YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT A VINYL DISTEMPER YOU ARE MIXING UP TWO DIFFERENT PRODUCTS--THE DISTEMPER WAS THE OLD FASHIONED PRODUCT WHILE THE VINYL IS THE NAME FOR MODERN EMULSION PAINTS.

mattjazz Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Sorry ,don't know the name in France but basically it needs to be permeable.The obliteration emulsion has a high opacity and therefore covers most things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
