The Dulux Weathershield Textured Masonry Paint excels in protecting and enhancing exterior surfaces. Its core strength lies in the combination of ceramic bead technology and 'Stay Clean' formulation. The ceramic beads create a durable, textured surface that effectively masks minor imperfections, like hairline cracks or uneven rendering, providing a consistent finish. This texture also contributes to the paint's UV resistance, helping to prevent colour fade over time.
The 'Stay Clean' technology is a significant benefit, actively working to keep your walls looking freshly painted. It does this by creating a surface that repels dirt and inhibits the growth of mould and algae within the paint film. This means less frequent cleaning and a consistently pristine appearance, even in damp or high-traffic areas. Imagine your home retaining its 'Pure Brilliant White' vibrancy for years, resisting the common grey-green tinge seen on many exterior walls.
Its rainproof quality is crucial for protecting the underlying masonry from water penetration, which can lead to structural damage or damp issues indoors. The quick-drying property allows for efficient application, potentially enabling you to complete a multi-coat project within a single day under favourable conditions. This paint is ideal for refreshing tired render, concrete, brick, or stone walls, providing both a protective barrier and an aesthetically pleasing textured finish.
Preparation is Key: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or organic growth (mould/algae). Use a stiff brush or power washer for cleaning. Treat any existing mould or algae with a suitable fungicidal wash. Repair any cracks or damaged masonry with appropriate filler.
Stabilisation: For bare or porous surfaces (like new render or very powdery old paint), apply a stabilising solution or dilute the first coat of Dulux Weathershield Textured Masonry Paint with 10% water as per product instructions to ensure good adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality masonry brush or a textured roller, ensuring an even coat. Two coats are typically recommended for optimal protection and colour.
Drying: The paint is quick-drying. Allow sufficient time between coats as specified on the product packaging, usually a few hours depending on temperature and humidity.
This paint is specifically designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including: render, concrete, brick, and stone.
It can be applied over sound, previously painted masonry, but be aware it will introduce a textured finish if applied over a smooth surface.
Cleaning: The 'Stay Clean' technology significantly reduces the need for frequent cleaning. If cleaning is required, gently wash the surface with clean water and a soft brush or sponge. Avoid harsh abrasives or high-pressure washing, which could damage the paint film.
Long-term Protection: The paint film is protected against mould and algae growth, contributing to its low-maintenance nature. Regularly inspect your walls for any signs of damage or extreme dirt build-up that might require a touch-up or re-application after many years.
