The Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint is designed to perform robustly in various exterior conditions. Its "Stay Clean" technology means that, in a real-world scenario, your home's exterior will resist the build-up of common environmental dirt and fungal growth that often dulls paint over time. This translates to less frequent cleaning and a consistently fresh appearance. With a coverage rate of up to 15m² per litre, a 5-litre can, for instance, can cover approximately 75 square meters with a single coat. Given that two coats are recommended for optimal performance and protection, a 5-litre can would cover about 37.5 square meters with two coats. The 4-hour drying time between coats allows for efficient project completion within a single day, assuming suitable weather conditions. This paint is ideal for refreshing tired brickwork (excluding common/Fletton types), rendering, or concrete surfaces, providing a durable, vibrant red finish that stands up to the elements.
Preparation: Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material. Address any repairs before painting.
Mixing: If using more than one can of paint, it is crucial to mix them thoroughly together in a larger container. This ensures colour consistency across the entire painted area. Alternatively, if mixing isn't feasible, complete distinct sections (e.g., an entire wall) with a single can before starting a new one.
Application: Apply 2 coats of paint using a suitable brush or roller.
Drying Time: Allow 4 hours drying time between coats.
Environmental Conditions: Apply only in dry conditions, when the temperature is above 10°C, and when bad weather (rain, frost) is not forecast.
This paint is suitable for most exterior masonry surfaces.
Important: Do not use on common or Fletton bricks.
