The Dulux Weathershield Exterior Doors & Windows Protector delivers a robust performance specifically formulated for the demands of outdoor environments. Its quick-drying nature means you can apply subsequent coats relatively fast, reducing project timelines. For instance, you could apply a first coat in the morning and a second in the afternoon. The satinwood finish provides a contemporary, mid-sheen look that suits a variety of home styles, from traditional to modern. This paint excels in its crack resistance thanks to its flexible paint film, which allows the paint to move with the substrate as temperatures fluctuate, preventing common issues like flaking or peeling. It's an ideal choice for refreshing tired exterior doors, window frames, garden gates, or even wooden fences where durability and a refined finish are desired. The Green Glade color adds a natural, vibrant touch to your home's exterior.
For optimal results, proper surface preparation is critical. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt, grease, and loose or flaking material. Sand down any rough areas or previous coatings to create a smooth base. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer for enhanced adhesion and durability. New unpainted surfaces may require specific preparatory steps; always refer to product label instructions.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure even color and consistency.
Apply with Brush: For best results and control, apply the paint evenly with a good quality synthetic brush.
Multiple Coats: Apply at least two coats. Allow approximately 6 hours of drying time between coats under normal conditions.
This paint is specifically designed for exterior metal and wood surfaces. Do not use on surfaces not recommended by the manufacturer. It is a water-based product, so ensure all tools are cleaned immediately after use with water.
Cleaning Painted Surfaces: To maintain the finish, clean painted surfaces gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent solution when needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Storage: Store unused paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is securely replaced after each use.
