Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used indoors?

This product is specifically designed for exterior masonry protection and is not recommended for interior use.

How many coats should I apply?

For optimal protection and finish, applying two coats is generally recommended. However, this can vary depending on the substrate's texture and porosity.

What is the coverage rate?

Coverage is approximately 9-11 square meters per litre per coat when applied by brush or roller, depending on the texture and porosity of the substrate.

Is this paint suitable for direct application on new brickwork?

Yes, it can be applied to cement and concrete rendered surfaces. Ensure new render has fully cured according to manufacturer guidelines before painting.

Can I apply this over old, flaking paint?

No, old, flaking paint must be completely removed, and the surface prepared before applying Bedec Extra-Flex Masonry Paint.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is water-based and quick-drying. Specific drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but recoating is typically possible after a few hours.

What colors are available?

This product is available in a range of colors including Beige (Buttermilk), Grey, Pink (Suffolk Pink), White, Gardenia, Black, and Cream.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry before application. Remove any loose material or contaminants. Consider a primer if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly, avoiding overworking. Use a good quality roller or brush. Ensure consistent application technique. Stir paint frequently during use.

Paint appears to be cracking or peeling

This is uncommon with Extra-Flex due to its properties. Ensure adequate preparation and that the paint was applied to a suitable substrate. Check if extreme temperature fluctuations occurred during application or drying.

Surface still shows fine cracks after painting

While the paint bridges fine cracks, very deep or structural cracks may require filling or repair before painting for a completely smooth finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior flexibility prevents cracking caused by building movement.
  • Excellent adhesion to a variety of masonry surfaces.
  • Provides a durable, weather-resistant barrier.
  • Water-based formula makes application and cleanup straightforward.
  • Effectively bridges small surface cracks, improving appearance.

Cons

  • Coverage rate is dependent on substrate porosity and texture.
  • May require multiple coats for optimal coverage and performance.
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results.
  • Color matching can be difficult if reapplying to a previously painted surface without testing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, or debris. For previously painted surfaces, lightly abrade and wash down. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats. Ensure adequate ventilation during application and drying.

Compatibility: Suitable for exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces. Can be applied over existing, well-adhered paintwork after preparation.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. Store paint in a cool, dry place, away from extreme temperatures.
