Why do we need to prevent mould and fungi from growing at home?
Transparent, long-lasting sealant, SHIELD23 Pro, for walls and furniture to stop the growth of mould and fungi in your home. Don't wait until it's too late.
Health Protection: Certain types of mould can produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Exposure to mould can lead to a variety of health issues, such as respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and even more severe conditions like asthma or pneumonia.
| Aspect | Antimicrobial Paint | Pico X Mould Prevention Coating Shield3 Pro |
|---|---|---|
| Effectiveness Over Time | Can chip and degrade over time, reducing its antimicrobial properties. | Has longer lifespan and can provide protection for an extended period. Up to 10 years |
| Aesthetics | Limited color and finish options. | Can be applied over any existing paint color or type, allowing more control over aesthetics. |
| Reapplication | Reapplication can be more involved, possibly requiring surface preparation and removal of old paint. | Reapplication may be more straightforward, as it is typically applied as a top layer. |
| Chemical Concerns | Potential environmental impacts or health risks, especially if volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are included. | No VOCs emission once cured and food contact safe, tested by labs. |
| Cost | Tends to be more expensive than regular paint. May also require more product for full coverage. | Low, one application could last up to 6 years. |
| Surface Compatibility | May not adhere well to all types of surfaces. | Can be more versatile and adhere to a wider range of surfaces. |
| Application Process | Typically requires more prep work and clean-up due to the nature of painting. | Can be easier and cleaner to apply, as it often comes in a spray or roll-on format. |
| Durability | The durability of antimicrobial paint may not be as high as regular paint, affecting its lifespan. | Coatings are typically designed to be durable and resistant to various environmental factors, extending their lifespan. |
| Health Impacts | Some antimicrobial paints can release fumes that may affect indoor air quality and can cause health issues in sensitive individuals. | Coatings, especially when fully cured, have no impact on indoor air quality. |
Maintaining Property Value: Mould infestation can significantly reduce the value of a property. It not only creates an unappealing aesthetic but also indicates potential structural problems.
Avoiding Structural Damage: Mould often grows on organic materials like wood, which many homes use in their structures. If left untreated, mould can cause significant damage to these structures, compromising the safety and integrity of the building.
Preventing Unpleasant Odors: Mould can produce a strong, musty odor that can permeate your living or working space, making it uncomfortable to be in.
Reducing Cleanup Costs: Treating a severe mould infestation can be expensive, especially if it's been allowed to spread or has caused structural damage. Preventing mould growth can help avoid these costs.
Maintaining Aesthetics: Mould can be unsightly, causing discoloration and damage to walls, ceilings, furniture, and other surfaces.
Preserving Indoor Air Quality: By preventing mould, you're helping to keep indoor air quality high. Mould spores, when airborne, can degrade air quality and cause health issues.
Preventing Damage to Personal Belongings: Mould can damage personal items, such as clothing, books, and furniture, especially if these items are stored in damp or poorly ventilated areas.
Energy Efficiency: Some research suggests that homes with mould issues may have higher energy costs, as mould can affect the efficiency of your insulation.
Maintaining a Comfortable Living Environment: Ultimately, preventing mould helps maintain a comfortable, safe, and healthy living or working environment. You can live or work with peace of mind, knowing that you're not at risk of the many potential issues associated with mould.
