Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint protect my walls?

This paint provides up to 15 years of all-weather protection for your exterior walls, ensuring long-lasting durability and appearance.

What does 'Stay Clean technology' mean?

Stay Clean technology is a unique formulation that actively protects the paint film against dirt and mould growth, helping your walls stay cleaner and fresher-looking for an extended period.

Can I use this paint on any type of brick?

No, this paint is specifically not suitable for common or Fletton bricks. Please ensure your masonry surface is compatible before application to avoid issues.

How many coats do I need, and what is the drying time between coats?

You should apply two coats for full protection and best results, allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between each coat.

What are the ideal environmental conditions for applying this paint?

For optimal results, apply only in dry conditions, when the ambient temperature is above 10°C, and when bad weather (like rain or frost) is not forecast during the drying period.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

This paint offers excellent coverage, covering up to 15 square metres per litre, although actual coverage may vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface.

How do I activate the Weathershield Promise?

To activate the Weathershield Promise, you need to register your purchase and paint application details within 6 months of the purchase date. Specific terms and conditions apply upon registration.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not drying properly or taking longer than 4 hours.

Check environmental conditions. Application must be done in dry weather, above 10°C, and without bad weather forecast. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Ensure coats are not applied too thickly; thin, even coats are best.

Uneven colour or streaks appearing after drying.

This often occurs if multiple cans were used without mixing. Always mix all cans intended for a single project together in a larger container before starting. Ensure even application with a suitable roller or brush, maintaining consistent pressure across the surface.

Paint is peeling or flaking prematurely.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and sound before application. Any loose material, dirt, or moisture can prevent proper adhesion. Also, verify that the paint was not applied to common or Fletton bricks, for which it is not suitable. If you registered for the Weathershield Promise, refer to its terms for assistance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, sound, and completely dry before painting. Remove any loose material, dirt, or previous flaking paint to ensure proper adhesion.
  2. Mixing: If using more than one can of paint for your project, it is highly recommended to mix them together in a larger container. This ensures consistent colour across your entire painted area.
  3. Application Tools: Apply the paint with a suitable brush or roller, ensuring even coverage.
  4. Coats: Apply two coats for full protection, optimal colour depth, and maximum durability.
  5. Drying Between Coats: Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between the first and second coat. Do not rush this step, as it can affect the paint's performance.
  6. Environmental Conditions: For best results and proper curing, only apply this paint in dry conditions, when the ambient temperature is above 10°C, and when bad weather (such as rain or frost) is not forecast for the drying period.

Compatibility

Do not use this paint on common or Fletton bricks. It is specifically formulated for other types of masonry surfaces. If you are unsure about your specific brick type, it's advisable to consult a professional or test a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.

Care

Once applied and fully cured, the paint's 'Stay Clean' technology helps reduce the need for frequent cleaning. If cleaning becomes necessary, use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution with water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or high-pressure washing equipment, as these can potentially damage the paint film and reduce its lifespan. Store any unused paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to maintain product integrity for future touch-ups.
