FAQs

What surfaces can I apply Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint to?

It's suitable for most exterior masonry surfaces, including brick, concrete, render, and stone.

How much area does one litre of paint cover?

Coverage is approximately 12-16 m² per litre, but this may vary depending on the surface.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is rainproof in 1 hour. Allow sufficient time for the paint to fully dry before exposing it to heavy weather conditions or cleaning.

Do I need a primer?

A primer is not always necessary, but it can improve adhesion and the final finish, especially on previously painted surfaces or surfaces with varying porosity. Check the manufacturers recommendations.

How do I clean the painted surface?

You can clean the surface with a mild detergent and water.

What should I do if the paint is exposed to frost?

Avoid applying paint if frost is expected. If frost occurs after application, allow the paint to thaw completely before assessing the finish.

What is Microseal technology?

Microseal technology gives painted surfaces a dirt resistant, breathable, and waterproof finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking.

Ensure proper surface preparation. Remove any loose paint and ensure the surface is clean, dry, and sound before re-applying.

Poor coverage.

Apply a second coat of paint. Ensure even application and avoid applying too thinly.

Check the weather conditions. Ensure the temperature is suitable for painting and that the surface is not damp. Allow sufficient drying time.
