    Overview

    Zinsser Grade 1 is a high-performance paint ideal for interior walls and ceilings in traditional and historic buildings, including churches, period properties and castles. This solvent-based paint has a vapour-permeable film which allows the surface to breathe whilst giving you a mould resistant surface. A primer, sealer, and finish in one, Grade 1 requires no washing down and no additional primer. The finish gives you resistance to cracking, flaking, and peeling and contains a biocide to protect the dried coating against fungal degradation
