This paint is formulated to provide total protection against extreme weather conditions for up to 15 years, ensuring a long-lasting finish.
The paint has a quick-drying formulation that creates a protective barrier against rainwater in just 30 minutes after application.
Yes, its flexible paint film is designed to cover minor imperfections, including hairline cracks across different masonry surfaces.
Absolutely. It contains an algicide and fungicide to protect the paint film from staining caused by mould, algal, and fungal growth.
Yes, it features a micro-porous breathable paint film that allows moisture and air to be released from the wall, while preventing rain from penetrating.
It is ideal for exterior masonry surfaces such as render, roughcast, pebbledash, brickwork, and concrete.
For optimal protection and durability, it is recommended to apply two coats of Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose, flaking paint or dirt before application. Any glossy surfaces should be dulled by sanding and primed if necessary. Remove any poorly adhered paint, clean, and reapply.
Apply the paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Ensure consistent coverage and avoid overworking the paint. Apply in appropriate ambient temperatures, as extreme heat or cold can affect flow and drying. Always apply two coats for the best finish.
Before painting, it's crucial to thoroughly treat any existing mould or algae with a fungicidal wash and allow the surface to dry completely. If the underlying cause (e.g., persistent damp, lack of ventilation) is not addressed, growth may recur. While the paint resists growth, it doesn't eliminate the underlying conditions.
Achieving the stated 15 years of protection requires thorough surface preparation. All masonry surfaces must be clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. Remove any dirt, dust, or grease. Treat existing mould or algae with a fungicidal wash, then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry. Fill any large cracks or defects with appropriate exterior filler. Ensure surfaces are sound before painting.
Apply two coats for optimal performance and durability. Use a good quality masonry brush or roller. Allow sufficient drying time between coats (refer to product label for specific times, typically 2-4 hours). Avoid painting in direct sunlight or when rain is imminent (though it's rainproof in 30 mins, initial drying in stable conditions is best).
This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including render, roughcast, pebbledash, brickwork, and concrete. It is not suitable for previously painted glossy surfaces without proper sanding and priming.
Once applied and fully cured, the paint film is designed for minimal maintenance. For general cleaning, gently wash surfaces with a mild detergent and water, rinsing thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or high-pressure washers, which could damage the paint film. The integrated algicide and fungicide will help keep the surface free from biological growth.
