The Best Moisture-Resistant Paint Deals with Us
High-quality paint is essential for painting your exterior wall. Exterior wall paint can be water-based acrylic or solvent-based. Moisture-resistant wall paints are very specialised and tend to be relatively expensive. This is because they need to withstand weather conditions, from moist winter months to intense UV rays in summer. On our webshop, you can find the best deals on moisture-resistant paints weekly.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
It’s always important to make a wall or façade moisture-resistant. More and more customers experience moisture problems because walls haven’t been treated with a moisture-resistant paint or wall paint.
Moisture-Resistant Paint for Interior Walls
Moisture always finds its way where you don’t want it, such as interior walls. Moisture can come from various sources, so it’s essential to resolve the root problem. Sometimes, the interior wall is connected to an exterior wall or façade, which is referred to as a penetrating wall. To prevent rainwater infiltration, you can treat the interior wall with moisture-resistant paint, keeping it dry. Alternatively, treating the exterior wall can stop moisture from penetrating altogether. Always ensure the wall is completely dry before making it moisture-resistant on both sides.
Moisture-Resistant Paint for Exterior Walls
Exterior walls can be highly sensitive to moisture, whether they are below the groundwater level or old and porous. Moisture-resistant paint for exterior walls is often the ideal solution in such cases.
Did You Know?
Did you know you can treat a wall or façade from both the interior and exterior against moisture? Always seek expert advice on which moisture-resistant paint is best suited for your specific situation.
Moisture-Resistant Wall Paint for Interiors
Apart from moisture-resistant paints, there are also moisture-resistant wall paints specifically for interiors. These can sometimes be an ideal solution, though my preference is usually for moisture-resistant paint, as it is stronger and provides better insulating properties.

What is Moisture-Resistant Paint?
Moisture-resistant paints are wall paints designed to withstand wet and moist weather. Exterior paints are either water-based or solvent-based. Such paints are rainproof and UV-resistant. Wall paint serves to protect your walls and to prevent mould, algae, and moss growth. Beware of cheaper alternatives (especially in DIY stores) that use chalk binders, resulting in lower-quality and heavier paint.
Tip from the Paint Mixer
Measure the surface area you need to paint by multiplying the length by the width. Wall paint typically covers 7.5m² per litre, so 10 litres will cover about 75m². Make sure your wall isn’t absorbent; otherwise, you may need a primer.
What Types of Moisture-Resistant Paint Are Available?
The selection includes both water-based and solvent-based options. Below are some of the best moisture-resistant paints you can purchase at Paint Mixer:
- Interior moisture-resistant wall paint: Designed to insulate and finish your interior walls, these paints are not always acrylic-based and can sometimes have a solvent base. Use them directly over a primer or even wallpaper.
- Exterior moisture-resistant wall paint: Typically solvent-based, these paints are very specific and relatively expensive because of their ability to withstand weather changes and UV radiation.
