Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint - Summer Sage - 250Ml Tester Pot

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

Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint provides up to 15 years of all-weather protection, ensuring durability against the elements.

Stay Clean technology is a unique formulation that helps the paint film resist dirt and prevents mould growth, keeping your exterior walls cleaner and looking fresh for longer periods.

No, this is a 250ml tester pot. It is specifically intended for you to sample the colour and finish on a small area of your wall before purchasing larger quantities for your main project.

For most sound, clean, and dry masonry surfaces, a primer may not be necessary. However, if the surface is very porous, chalky, or has repairs, applying a suitable masonry primer or stabiliser is recommended for best adhesion and durability.

As this is a water-based paint, you can clean your brushes and rollers thoroughly with water immediately after use.

This paint is specifically formulated for exterior use and the harsh conditions outside. While not explicitly harmful indoors, it's not designed for internal environments and may not offer the best performance or finish compared to interior-specific paints.

This is common due to lighting, surface texture, and surrounding colours. Always use the 250ml tester pot to apply a small patch on your actual wall and let it dry completely. Observe it in various lighting conditions (daylight, shade, morning, evening) before making a final decision.

Poor adhesion is almost always due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, free of loose material, and that any previous flaking paint has been removed. For very chalky or porous surfaces, a suitable masonry primer/stabiliser should be applied first.

Ensure you are applying the paint evenly and not overloading your brush or roller. Maintain a 'wet edge' by working in manageable sections. Allow sufficient drying time between coats. For a smooth matt finish, use high-quality brushes or rollers designed for masonry paint.

While the paint resists mould growth within the film, it won't prevent mould from growing on existing contaminants or if the underlying issue (e.g., damp, poor drainage) isn't addressed. Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned with a fungicidal wash before painting. Address any sources of excessive moisture.
