Why are primers used?
It is impossible to achieve a durable and satisfactory finish without first preparing the substrate. Knauf primers not only strengthen the substrate but also even out its absorbency, thereby improving the adhesion of subsequent layers. The right primer will also protect the surface from damp, preventing mould from developing. This is particularly important in bathrooms and kitchens. Although primers are invisible once all the finishing work is complete, they still affect the appearance of the surface. If the absorbency of the substrate is not evened out, the paint will not dry evenly, and this is a sure-fire way to cause discolouration. In the case of wallpaper, it can be even worse, as a damp substrate can cause it to peel off. Choose a Knauf primer from our range and save yourself the hassle of post-renovation touch-ups.
Which Knauf primer should I choose?
Not every primer will be equally effective on a given surface. When making your choice, first consider what type of surface you are dealing with. The second thing to consider is what finishing work you intend to carry out on the surface. Are you planning to apply a finishing coat? Choose Knauf Finish Grund. Are you dealing with a surface that produces a lot of dust and is also damaged? The right choice would be Knauf Tiefengrund.
