  • When we bought our place the wallpaper was falling off the walls, when we peeled it back the glue had become a food source for thick black mould.

    This was all due to a relative humidity level that was above 90%, along with the heating being permenantly on (so far as we could discern when we viewed it prior to the sale).

    Once we'd got the wallpaper off and down to bare plaster we could see that the plaster itself was saturated- it was a very dark slate grey.

    So- we left the walls bare, which is why the place looks like such a ruin in many ways.

    However- the walls are now bone dry, and I want to paint them to make the place look nicer, reduce dust etc etc.

    I was thinking of using bathroom paint throughout, just incase the humidity issue returns in future (i.e. we rent it out to idiots).

    Is this madness?
