Dulux Weathershield Exterior Paint Satin is engineered to provide superior protection and a beautiful, lasting finish for your outdoor projects. This paint is perfectly suited for common exterior elements such as garden sheds, fences, front doors, window frames, and even metal gates.
Imagine repainting your garden gate: its fast-drying nature means you can potentially apply subsequent coats within the same day, significantly reducing the overall project time. The water-based formula simplifies the cleanup process, requiring only water for brushes and spills. Crucially, its flexible film actively works to resist cracking, which is a common issue with exterior paints due to temperature fluctuations and substrate movement. This feature, combined with its 10-year weather protection, ensures your painted surfaces withstand rain, sun, and frost, maintaining their crisp brown mid-sheen for a full decade, provided the initial surface preparation was thorough.
For optimal performance and to achieve the full 10-year weather protection, thorough surface preparation is critical. Ensure all exterior wood and metal surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any loose or flaking material. Sand glossy surfaces to provide a key. Fill any cracks or imperfections. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer as recommended by Dulux to ensure proper adhesion and durability.
This paint is specifically designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces. It is compatible with standard painting tools like brushes and rollers. Always ensure previously painted surfaces are sound and compatible with a water-based satin finish.
To maintain the aesthetic and protective qualities of your painted surfaces, clean them periodically with a soft cloth and mild detergent solution. Avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, which could damage the paint film. Promptly address any minor damage or chips to prevent moisture ingress and maintain the integrity of the weather protection.
