Join us for an informative and practical session exploring the vital role of breathable paints in modern and heritage properties. Discover how moisture moves through buildings, why the wrong paint can lead to peeling, damp, and costly call-backs, and how to avoid these issues with the right products. We’ll explain the science of breathability in simple terms and show when and where it really matters, especially in older and solid-wall buildings. This talk is ideal for decorators of all experience levels looking to improve results, protect their work, and deliver longer lasting finishes.
