FAQs

How long will this paint protect my walls?

This Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint is formulated to provide up to 15 years of all-weather protection for your exterior walls.

What does 'Stay Clean technology' mean?

Stay Clean technology helps the paint resist dirt and prevents mould growth within the paint film, keeping your exterior surfaces looking cleaner for longer with less maintenance.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, this paint is specifically designed and formulated for exterior masonry surfaces and is not recommended for indoor use.

What type of finish does this paint have?

This paint provides a smooth matt black finish, which is non-reflective and helps to conceal minor surface imperfections while offering a modern aesthetic.

Do I need to prime my walls before painting?

For best results, especially on new, highly porous, or powdery masonry surfaces, applying a suitable exterior masonry primer/sealer is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and an even finish.

How many coats should I apply?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage and protection. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats as specified on the product label.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking after application.

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose paint or debris before painting. Any underlying moisture issues must also be resolved.

Uneven colour or patchy finish.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply an even number of coats (typically two) and allow adequate drying time between coats. Highly porous surfaces might require a primer to prevent uneven absorption.

Mould or algae reappearing despite using the paint.

While the paint resists mould growth *within* the paint film, existing mould or algae must be fully removed and treated with a fungicidal wash *before* painting. Ensure the underlying issue causing dampness or growth is addressed.

Paint not drying properly or remaining tacky.

Check application conditions. Painting in cold, damp, or humid weather, or applying excessively thick coats, can prolong drying times. Ensure good ventilation (if applicable for drying) and adhere to recommended temperature ranges.

Poor coverage, requiring more paint than expected.

Porous surfaces absorb more paint. A primer/sealer can help reduce porosity and improve coverage. Ensure paint is well-stirred and applied evenly, and that rollers/brushes are suitable for masonry paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional Durability: Offers up to 15 years of all-weather protection, reducing the need for frequent repainting.
  • Self-Cleaning Properties: Stay Clean technology actively resists dirt and prevents mould growth, maintaining a fresh look.
  • Aesthetically Pleasing: Provides a sleek, smooth matt black finish that enhances curb appeal.
  • Enhanced Protection: Shields against common outdoor issues like mould and dirt, preserving the building's integrity.
  • Trusted Brand Quality: From Dulux Weathershield, a reputable name in exterior paints.

Cons

  • Thorough Preparation Required: As with most paints, achieving the 15-year protection relies heavily on meticulous surface preparation.
  • Weather-Dependent Application: Best applied in specific temperature and humidity conditions for optimal drying and curing.
  • Limited to Exterior Use: Specifically formulated for exterior masonry, not suitable for interior applications or other surface types.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

1. Surface Preparation is Key

  • Clean: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or organic growth (mould, algae). Use a stiff brush or power washer for thorough cleaning. For mould or algae, treat with a suitable fungicidal wash and rinse.
  • Repair: Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate exterior filler and sand smooth once dry.
  • Prime: For highly porous or powdery surfaces, apply a suitable masonry primer/sealer. New render or highly absorbent surfaces should also be primed to ensure even absorption and adhesion.

2. Application

  • Stir: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure an even consistency and colour.
  • Apply: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply two coats, allowing adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, but check product label for specifics and weather conditions).
  • Conditions: Avoid painting in direct sunlight, high winds, or when rain is expected. Ideal application temperature is between 10°C and 30°C.

3. Compatibility

  • This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including rendered walls, concrete, brickwork, and pebble-dash. It is not suitable for wood, metal, or interior surfaces.

4. Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Due to its `Stay Clean` technology, routine cleaning will be minimal. If required, gentle washing with water and a soft brush can remove surface dust or light marks.
  • Storage: Store paint in a dry, frost-free environment, away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
  • Disposal: Dispose of unused paint responsibly at a local civic amenity site. Do not pour into drains.
