What is Sealer for House Painting?

Sealer is required when you have a wall in your house that is prone to moisture. In actual fact, sealer is not a required process for Singapore homes. But there might be requirements from our customers as they are keen to prolong the lifespan of their house painting.
Normally our specialist will evaluate and suggest if sealer is required, and here are some situations that might require sealer.
- New houses require sealer because it enables neutralization of the alkali on the new walls to prepare for a paint service.
- Moist areas causing the walls or ceiling to stain or peel off after a painting service. Sealer is usually applied on the ceiling and walls for the bathroom and kitchen. This is because the walls and ceiling of the kitchen and bathroom are exposed to moist conditions. Applying of the sealer will prevent such situation to happen.
