Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint is engineered for superior exterior wall protection and aesthetics. Its unique high-performance acrylic resin ensures it withstands harsh elements for up to 15 years, making it an excellent investment for long-term home renovations. The paint's flexibility allows it to cover minor imperfections like hairline cracks often found on older masonry, providing a smooth, uniform surface without extensive prior repair.
For instance, if your brickwork or render has developed small cracks over time due to weathering, this paint will bridge them, not just hide them. Its rapid 30-minute rainproof time is particularly beneficial in climates with unpredictable weather, protecting your newly painted surfaces from washout shortly after application. The built-in resistance to mould and algae means your Jasmine White finish will remain pristine longer, preventing unsightly green or black stains that commonly affect exterior surfaces in damp conditions.
A 5L can typically covers approximately 15 m² per coat on average. For a two-coat application, a 5L pot will therefore cover around 7.5 m² effectively. This paint is perfectly suited for transforming and protecting common exterior surfaces such as brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render, giving your home's exterior a clean, contemporary matt finish.
Surface Preparation: Begin by ensuring the surface (brick, concrete, pebble-dash, render) is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, and grease. Any existing mould or algae should be treated and removed using a suitable fungicidal wash.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and periodically during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and optimal color distribution.
Application Method: Apply the paint using a brush or roller. Ensure even coverage for best results.
Coats Required: For optimal durability, protection, and color depth, 2 coats are strongly recommended.
Recoat Time: Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between the application of the first and second coats.
Coverage: A 5L can typically covers approximately 15 m² per coat. Plan your purchase based on the total area and the need for two coats.
This paint is specifically formulated for use on exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render.
It is compatible with standard painting brushes and rollers.
Cleaning Tools: As this is a water-based paint, clean brushes and rollers thoroughly with water immediately after use.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, ensuring it is protected from frost. Keep the lid tightly sealed to preserve its quality.
Long-Term Durability: The paint film is designed to offer "15-year total protection," resisting water, mould, algae, and UV damage, thereby minimizing the need for frequent maintenance or re-application.
