The Dulux Weathershield Multi-Surface Paint is engineered for outstanding performance on a range of exterior substrates. Its quick-dry, water-based formulation allows for efficient painting, enabling users to apply subsequent coats sooner. The satin finish provides a contemporary look while the robust 6-year weather protection ensures surfaces remain protected from rain, sun, and other elements. Its mould-resistant properties are particularly beneficial for surfaces prone to dampness, like garden sheds or fences, helping to keep them looking fresh. The flexible paint film is a key advantage for materials such as wood and uPVC, which can naturally expand and contract, preventing common paint failures like flaking and cracking. This paint is ideal for refreshing window frames, doors, gutters, and other exterior details, offering both aesthetic enhancement and durable protection.
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose dirt, dust, and grease. Remove any flaking paint. For bare wood, sand lightly. For bare metal, remove rust and prime with an appropriate metal primer. For uPVC, clean thoroughly.
Stirring: Before use, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even consistency and color.
Application: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results, apply in thin, even coats. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
This paint is suitable for exterior wood, metal, and uPVC surfaces. It is not recommended for use on surfaces subjected to heavy foot traffic, such as decking or floors, or interior use.
Cleaning Tools: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water and a mild detergent.
Storage: Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
