FAQs

How much area does a 5L can cover?

A 5L can of Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint typically covers up to 15 m² on average. This can vary based on the texture and porosity of the surface.

What kind of surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is ideal for brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render on exterior walls.

How quickly does this paint dry?

The paint is shower resistant within 30 minutes of application. You can apply a recoat after 4 hours under normal conditions.

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

For previously unpainted, very porous, or chalky surfaces, a suitable primer or stabilising solution is recommended to ensure optimal adhesion and finish. Always check the surface condition.

How does the 'stay-clean' technology work?

The stay-clean technology actively repels dirt and prevents mould growth on exterior walls, helping them to remain cleaner and brighter for an extended period, reducing the need for frequent cleaning.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is a water-based paint with minimal VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), making it a more environmentally conscious choice and safer for your home environment.

Troubleshooting

Paint peels or flakes after drying.

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose material, old flaking paint, or dust before application. Highly porous or chalky surfaces may require priming or a stabilising solution prior to painting to ensure proper adhesion.

Uneven finish or poor coverage.

Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use. Apply paint evenly with a brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. If the surface is highly porous or textured, a second coat (after 4 hours) is essential for a consistent finish and full coverage.

Paint taking too long to dry or not becoming shower resistant.

Check weather conditions. High humidity, low temperatures, or application in thick coats can significantly extend drying times. Ensure proper ventilation if possible and apply in recommended temperatures (typically above 5°C and below 30°C).

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup & Application

Preparation: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, or flaking paint. Repair any cracks or defects. For previously unpainted or porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be required.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and consistency.
Application: Apply the paint evenly using a brush or a roller. For best results and optimal coverage, two coats are generally recommended.
Drying & Recoat: The paint is shower resistant within 30 minutes. Allow a minimum of 4 hours between coats. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures or direct strong sunlight.

Environmental: Water-based formula with minimal VOCs for safer use and reduced environmental impact.

Care

The integrated stay-clean technology actively protects against dirt and mould growth, significantly reducing maintenance needs.
