Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint is engineered for high performance on exterior walls, offering a balance of protection and aesthetic appeal. Its formulation is designed to withstand the elements, making it suitable for a wide range of climates.
For optimal results, ensure the wall surface is clean and completely dry before painting. Apply two coats using a suitable brush or roller. It is crucial to allow 4 hours drying time between coats to ensure proper adhesion and film formation.
This paint offers an impressive coverage rate of up to 15m² per litre, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface. A 5L can will cover approximately 75m² with one coat, or 37.5m² with the recommended two coats.
If you are using multiple cans of paint for a single project, especially for large areas, it's advisable to mix them together in a larger container before starting. This practice helps to ensure consistent colour across the entire painted surface, preventing subtle shade variations between cans. Alternatively, finish painting in a natural break point, such as a corner, before starting a new can.
Apply only in dry conditions, when the temperature is above 10°C, and when no bad weather is forecast. These conditions are essential for proper curing and to activate the full protective features of the paint. The paint is touch dry in 4 hours.
Surface Cleaning: Ensure the exterior wall surface is clean, dry, and free from any loose material, dirt, dust, or previous flaking paint.
Temperature & Weather Check: Only apply when the ambient temperature is above 10°C and when dry weather is expected, with no rain forecast for at least 4 hours after application.
Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. If using more than one can, mix them together in a larger container to ensure colour consistency.
Application: Use a suitable brush or roller for application. Apply two coats.
Drying Time: Allow 4 hours drying time between coats and for the final coat to be fully dry.
Suitable Surfaces: Designed for most exterior masonry surfaces.
Unsuitable Surfaces: Do not use on common or Fletton bricks due to potential compatibility issues or adverse reactions with the brick composition. Always check your brick type before application.
Cleanup: As this is a water-based paint, brushes and rollers can be cleaned with water immediately after use.
Storage: Store the paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
Longevity: The paint itself provides protection against dirt and mould growth within the paint film. Regular cleaning of the exterior walls is not typically required beyond what the paint's 'Stay Clean' technology provides, but gentle cleaning can be done if desired without harsh abrasives.
