This Granocryl Smooth Masonry Paint in Red Brick is designed for homeowners and professionals seeking durable, all-weather protection for exterior masonry surfaces. It offers excellent covering power and a smooth finish, with a key benefit of being mould-resistant. A potential consideration is its specific suitability for masonry, requiring preparation on non-suitable surfaces. Key features include its suitability for brickwork, concrete, and render, a mould-resistant formula, and long-lasting durability.

This paint is suitable for brickwork, concrete, roughcast, rendering, pebbledash, and other similar exterior masonry surfaces.
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose material. Remove any flaking paint. New or porous surfaces may require priming. Dampen very dry, powdery surfaces before priming.
It is best to apply the paint in dry conditions. Avoid painting when rain is expected, in very high humidity, or when temperatures are too low, as this can affect drying and finish.
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage, durability, and appearance. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Yes, the paint features a mould-resistant formula designed to help prevent the growth of mould and mildew on the painted surface.
Clean painted surfaces using a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
A 5L can of this masonry paint weighs approximately 14.2 pounds.
It is advisable to test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area first if applying over existing coatings. Ensure the existing coating is sound and suitable for painting.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free of dust and grease). Re-prime porous or dusty surfaces before painting. Check if the paint was applied in unsuitable weather conditions (too cold, too damp, or too hot).
Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Ensure adequate coverage was achieved with the recommended number of coats. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
While the paint has mould-resistant properties, heavy contamination or persistent damp conditions can still lead to growth. Clean the affected area with a mild detergent and water, rinse, and allow to dry completely. Ensure the underlying cause of dampness is addressed if possible. Consider a specific fungicidal wash if mould is persistent.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with water according to manufacturer's instructions for the specific application method (e.g., spraying). Ensure the paint is within its recommended usage temperature range.
Surface Preparation: Ensure all masonry surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, and algae. Remove any existing flaking paint. For best results on new or porous surfaces, apply a suitable masonry primer. Dampen down very dry, powdery surfaces before priming.
Compatibility: This paint is specifically designed for brickwork, concrete, roughcast, rendering, pebbledash, and similar masonry surfaces. Do not use on surfaces not intended for masonry application. Ensure compatibility if applying over existing coatings; a test patch is recommended.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or spray. Apply in dry conditions, avoiding direct sunlight or high winds. Two coats are typically recommended for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer guidelines.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft brush or cloth with mild detergent and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which can damage the finish. Regularly inspect the painted surface for any signs of damage or contamination and address them promptly.
