Painting involves considering what surface you will be painting on.

 

Painting the outside of your home or a building requires the sort of paint that will adhere to brick, concrete, pebble dash etc. This type of paint is known as Masonry Paint.

 

When painting the outside of a building you must take into consideration two things; appearance and protection.

 

Masonry paint is designed with these two things in mind.

 

The appearance of the outside of your home or building not only adds character but it adds value to your property.

 

Painting the exterior of your home or building with masonry paint will protect the walls.

 

Masonry paint is designed so that the paint is breathable. It allows moisture to escape from the surface, so it is not retained in the exterior painted surfaces. This prevents mould from building up. This in turn protects the quality of the wall.

 

Damp walls can absorb heat from a home or building. With masonry paint allowing the walls to breathe this can also help retain the heat to your home or building.

 

Using the wrong type of paint on your exterior walls can keep trapped moisture under the paint, leading to damage and a deterioration of your masonry work. Not only would it cause damage to your walls but the paint would start to peel and crack.

 

To add ‘Curb appeal’ and a level of defence to your home or building, use Masonry Paint.
