Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint is engineered to perform robustly in diverse outdoor environments. Its 15-year All-Weather Protection means it's built to resist the elements, from heavy rain and strong winds to prolonged sun exposure, preventing cracking, peeling, and blistering. This ensures your exterior walls remain in excellent condition, maintaining their protective barrier and visual appeal.
The Stay Clean technology is a significant advantage, particularly in areas prone to dirt accumulation or moisture. It actively repels airborne dirt particles and inhibits mould growth, which often discolours masonry. This translates to walls that stay looking freshly painted for longer, reducing the frequency of cleaning or maintenance tasks.
When using this 250ml tester pot, its primary function is to help you visualise the 'Summer Sage' green colour on your specific masonry surface. Masonry textures and natural lighting can significantly alter how a colour appears. Apply a small patch in an inconspicuous area and allow it to dry completely. Observe it at different times of the day to see how light affects the shade. This practical step is crucial for making an informed decision before investing in larger quantities, ensuring the colour complements your home's existing features and surroundings.
Proper preparation is key to achieving the full 15-year protection. Ensure the masonry surface is:
Clean: Remove all loose dirt, dust, grease, and grime using a stiff brush or pressure washer. For mould or algae, use a fungicidal wash and rinse thoroughly.
Dry: Allow the surface to dry completely before painting.
Sound: Fill any cracks, holes, or imperfections with appropriate exterior filler. Sand smooth if necessary.
Stable: Remove any loose or flaking paint from previously painted surfaces. If the surface is highly porous or chalky, a suitable masonry primer/stabiliser may be required.
Stir the paint thoroughly before use.
Apply a small patch to a prepared area of your exterior wall, using a brush or small roller.
Apply evenly, ensuring consistent coverage to accurately assess the colour and finish.
Allow the first coat to dry completely (refer to packaging for specific drying times).
Apply a second coat if recommended or desired for full colour opacity and accurate assessment.
This paint is specifically formulated for exterior masonry surfaces, including render, concrete, brickwork, and pebble-dash. It is not designed for internal use or on wood or metal surfaces.
Once applied, the paint's Stay Clean technology will help repel dirt. For general cleaning of painted surfaces, a gentle wash with water and a soft brush can be used if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing which could damage the paint film. Keep the painted surface free from debris or overgrown vegetation that could trap moisture and promote mould growth.
