Replastering Paint - Biokil Crown

Microporous Matt Emulsion for Damp or Replastered Walls

Biokil Crown Replastering Paint is a breathable, non-vinyl matt emulsion specifically formulated for application on damp or newly replastered walls. It allows moisture to evaporate, preventing blistering and flaking, and more than fulfills the recommendations in BS6576. Ideal for use during the drying-out period following the installation of a damp proof course or after water damage.
