2 min read



Let’s face it—wet, mouldy walls are a total nightmare. They ruin your paint job, make your home smell musty, and can even damage your property. But before you break into a panic, here's some great news: PlushLux Wateryield is here to save the day—and your walls.

At just R899 for 5 litres, this powerful, oil-based damp-yielding coating is designed to protect both interior and exterior concrete and masonry surfaces. And yes—it’s DIY-friendly!

What Is PlushLux Wateryield?

PlushLux Wateryield is a mould and mildew-proof coating that creates a long-lasting barrier against moisture. Whether you're battling rising damp, water ingress, or just want a preventative coat—this product has your back.

Top Features:

✅ Withstands up to 2.4 million microbars of pressure

✅ Prevents recurring efflorescence

✅ Smooth, non-gritty finish

✅ Non-yellowing and low odour

✅ Recoat in just 4 hours

✅ 5-year mould & mildew film guarantee

✅ Works on wet or dry walls


How to Apply PlushLux Wateryield (DIY Style)

Whether you're a weekend warrior or just tackling that one leaky wall, here's how to use PlushLux Wateryield like a pro.


What You'll Need:

  • 5L PlushLux Wateryield (R899 from Paint Trade)

  • Paintbrush or roller

  • Drop sheets & masking tape

  • Mild detergent or cleaner

  • Scraper or wire brush (if walls are flaking)

  • Safety gloves & goggles


Step 1: Prep the Surface

Clean your surface thoroughly. Remove any loose paint, dust, grease, or flaky bits with a scraper or stiff brush. For mouldy areas, use a mould remover or bleach solution and let dry completely.

🛠️ Tip: Wateryield can be applied to wet or dry walls—but always clean first!

Step 2: Mix It Up

Open your PlushLux Wateryield tin and give it a good stir. This ensures even consistency throughout.

🛠️ Pro Tip: Don't thin the product unless specified—it's formulated for high performance as-is.

Step 3: First Coat

Using a roller or brush, apply the first coat evenly. Focus especially on joints, edges, and damp patches.

💡 Coverage: One 5L tin covers around 20–25 square metres depending on surface texture.

Step 4: Wait & Recoat

Allow 4 hours of drying time before applying the second coat. Ensure your first layer is touch-dry and not sticky.


Step 5: Sit Back & Relax

Once dry, your walls are now protected with a tough, long-lasting barrier against dampness. You can topcoat it with your regular paint (once cured), or leave it as is for a smooth, off-white finish.


Why PlushLux Wateryield is Worth Every Cent

Unlike latex paint or cheap sealants, PlushLux Wateryield offers serious protection:

  • Less odour, so you can use it indoors without headaches

  • Long-term peace of mind with a 5-year guarantee

  • Great value at R899 for 5L at Paint Trade


Ready to Tackle Your Damp Walls?

Head over to your nearest Paint Trade store and grab your 5L tin of PlushLux Wateryield for just R899. Your walls (and nose) will thank you later.
