The Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint is engineered for high performance on a variety of exterior masonry surfaces. Its stay-clean technology is a standout, actively repelling dirt and preventing mould growth, which is particularly beneficial in damp climates or areas prone to grime buildup. This means your home's exterior will maintain its fresh, white appearance for longer, reducing the need for frequent cleaning or repainting.
In real-world applications, its quick-drying formula is a significant advantage. Being shower resistant within 30 minutes means unexpected rain showers are less likely to ruin a freshly painted surface, allowing for greater flexibility in your painting schedule. The 4-hour recoat time further speeds up projects, enabling completion of multiple coats in a single day under ideal conditions. Whether you're refreshing an old brick facade, protecting new render, or brightening concrete walls, this paint provides a durable, matt finish that stands up to the elements, making it a reliable choice for long-term exterior renovation and protection projects.
Preparation: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, grease, or flaking paint. Repair any cracks or defects. For previously unpainted or porous surfaces, a suitable primer may be required.
Stirring: Thoroughly stir the paint before and during use to ensure consistent color and consistency.
Application: Apply the paint evenly using a brush or a roller. For best results and optimal coverage, two coats are generally recommended.
Drying & Recoat: The paint is shower resistant within 30 minutes. Allow a minimum of 4 hours between coats. Avoid applying in extreme temperatures or direct strong sunlight.
Cleanup: Clean tools immediately after use with water. Minimal cleanup is required due to its water-based nature.
Surfaces: Ideal for use on exterior masonry surfaces including brick, concrete, pebble-dash, and render.
Environmental: Water-based formula with minimal VOCs for safer use and reduced environmental impact.
The integrated stay-clean technology actively protects against dirt and mould growth, significantly reducing maintenance needs.
For general cleaning of the painted surface, a gentle wash with water and a soft brush can be used if necessary, though this product is designed to resist dirt buildup for up to 15 years.
