anti condensation paint.

Not me, but it sounds like a complete load of tosh. I mean, what is it supposed to do? Prevent condensation?

Who makes it, Sammy? I'd like to read the blurb to see what they say. It sounds to me like the co called Kitchen and bathroom paints which are supposed to be better than 'normal' paints (at a much higher price of course) or the so called 'microporous' paints

Bet they don't do it in the Trade range

 

BB, it's different to 'kitchen and bathroom' paints which are simply designed to be more water resistant.

I think you'll find it on most DIY 'shed' shelves. However, I've no idea whether it works, or how it's supposed to work.

I've always been curious, tho'! I wonder if it has some kind of insulating properties, so that the wall it's applied to has a slightly 'warmer' surface?

Perhaps worth contacting the manufacturers?

My best guess is that it'll help a tiny bit, but certainly won't be a miracle cure (or else it would be used everywhere!).

 

Sammy Toaster,

Anti-condensation paints have been around a very long time and have been used extensively in ships to minimise the effect of condensation from steel bulkheads and partitions etc.

Many of these paints usually consisted of an absorbent material, such as cork, suspended in a suitable emulsion. These days the insulating component is often tiny hollow glass beads.

They are effective, but don't expect a product that has been produced for general application to be as efficient as full cavity wall insulation.
