Do paints specially desiged to protect interior walls against condensation work?

I have a problem with condensation in my flat and affects certain areas of the walls, I have read about a paint which is for use for interior walls and gives the wall insulation making the wall warmer and stops condensation and mould growth etc, does anybody know if they work well?Do paints specially desiged to protect interior walls against condensation work?
you need to check this siteDo paints specially desiged to protect interior walls against condensation work?
I find it difficult to believe that a layer of anything that thickness is going to have any effect at insulating.


Condensation is caused by damp in the air.


Might be better off getting a dehumidifier.


B AND Q sell quite a range.
there are paints available that have antifungicides in them but it only slows the build up of mould not stop it. you need to find the source of the problem and treat the cause not the symptom.ps are you sure that it is condensation and not dampness? if condensation then it should be fixable by better ventilation ,if dampness it could be water penetration from somewhere outside leaking in
we've used anti fungal paints and they've worked well for quite a while then needing repainting before
i have used aproduct on numerous occasions called seculate, which like all anti condensation paint.has fine particles of cork in them.however, although they work and quite effectively you should still make sure you have plenty of ventilation and air circulation to your flat to assist in condensation happening
