FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is designed for exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render.

How many coats are recommended?

For optimal coverage, protection, and finish, two coats are recommended.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

You should allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time before applying a second coat.

How quickly does it become rainproof?

The paint forms a protective barrier against rain in just 30 minutes after application.

What is the coverage rate for a 5L can?

A 5L can will cover up to 15 square meters on average, depending on the surface porosity.

Is this paint safe for my home?

Yes, it is water-based and formulated with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a safer choice.

What is the Weathershield Promise?

The Weathershield Promise guarantees against peeling, flaking, or mould growth within the paint film for up to 15 years, provided you register the product and apply it within 6 months of purchase. Terms and conditions apply.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering or is peeling/flaking prematurely.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned and free of loose material, dirt, grease, and mould prior to painting. Any powdery or unstable surfaces should be primed correctly before applying the masonry paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.

Apply the paint evenly, avoiding overloading the brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge during application. Ensure consistent application pressure and that two full coats are applied with sufficient drying time in between.

Mould or algae growth reappearing on painted surface.

While the paint is mould and algae resistant, severe existing growth must be completely removed and treated with a fungicidal wash prior to painting. Ensure the surface is fully dry before application. For persistent issues, re-clean and reapply if necessary, ensuring good ventilation and drainage around the painted area.

Poor coverage, requiring more than two coats.

This can happen on highly porous or uneven surfaces. Ensure the surface was properly prepared and, if very porous, consider a thinned first coat or appropriate primer. Apply coats generously but not excessively thick, allowing full drying time.

Paint not drying within stated timeframes.

High humidity, low temperatures, or poor air circulation can extend drying times. Ensure application conditions are within the recommended temperature range (Info needed: [check product label for specific temperature range]) and that there is adequate airflow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care To ensure the best results and longevity from your Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint, proper preparation, application, and ongoing care are essential.

Setup & Surface Preparation:

  1. Clean the Surface: Thoroughly clean all surfaces to be painted. Remove any loose dirt, dust, grime, flaky paint, mould, or algae using a stiff brush, scraper, and appropriate cleaning agents if necessary. Allow the surface to dry completely.
  2. Repair Imperfections: Fill any large cracks or defects with a suitable exterior filler. Allow to dry and sand smooth.
  3. Priming (If Needed): For very porous or powdery surfaces, a stabilising primer or a thinned first coat of masonry paint (as per manufacturer's instructions) may be beneficial. Info needed: [Consult product label for specific priming recommendations].
  4. Tools: Have a good quality masonry brush or a medium-pile roller ready. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Compatibility:

  • This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render. Ensure the surface is sound and dry before application. It is not recommended for smooth, non-porous surfaces like glazed tiles or metal without specific priming.

Care & Maintenance:

  • Routine Cleaning: While the paint contains `Stay Clean` technology and is mould/algae resistant, periodic gentle cleaning of your exterior walls with water and a soft brush can help maintain their fresh appearance, especially in areas prone to heavier dirt accumulation.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect your painted surfaces for any signs of damage or wear, particularly after severe weather. Address minor issues promptly to prevent larger problems.
  • Storage: Store any leftover paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, in its original, tightly sealed container. Do not allow to freeze.
