The Dulux Weathershield Exterior Doors & Windows Protector paint delivers a robust performance ideal for renewing the exterior of your home. Its satinwood finish provides a sophisticated, modern look for wooden doors, window frames, and exterior metalwork like gates or railings. In real-world applications, its quick-drying nature means you can often apply multiple coats within a single day, reducing the overall project time. The protective technology actively resists cracking and minimises mould staining, which is crucial for elements constantly exposed to diverse weather conditions. For example, painting a front door will not only enhance its curb appeal with a 'Gallant Grey' finish but also provide a durable barrier against rain, sun, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring it looks fresh for years. Its water-based, low VOC formulation also means less strong odour during application, making for a more pleasant painting experience.
Before applying, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any loose or flaking paint, dirt, grease, or mould. For previously painted surfaces, sand lightly to provide a key. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality synthetic brush.
This paint is specifically designed for exterior wood and metal surfaces. It is not recommended for use on plastic, masonry, or interior surfaces where its weather-protective properties are not required. Always test a small, inconspicuous area first if unsure about compatibility with an unusual substrate.
Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Close the tin securely after each use and store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Do not empty product into drains or watercourses. Dispose of contents/container in accordance with national regulations.
