This paint is formulated to provide up to 15 years of durability and protection against the elements on exterior masonry surfaces, when properly applied.

Is the Frosted Lake paint water-based?

Yes, Dulux Weathershield Smooth Masonry Paint features an innovative waterbased formula.

Can I use this paint on interior walls?

No, this paint is specifically designed and formulated for exterior masonry surfaces and should not be used indoors.

What kind of surfaces can I paint with this product?

This paint is suitable for most exterior masonry surfaces, including render, roughcast, pebbledash, brickwork, and concrete.

How do I clean my painted walls?

To maintain the finish, gently clean the painted surface with plain water and a soft cloth or brush. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the masonry surface was thoroughly cleaned, dry, and free from loose particles, dust, or previous flaking paint. Proper preparation, including scraping, sanding, and priming if necessary, is crucial for optimal adhesion.

Mould or algae growth appears on the painted surface despite 'mould-proof' claims.

The 'Stay Clean' technology prevents mould growth *within* the paint film. If mould appears *on* the surface, it could be due to extreme environmental conditions or insufficient cleaning of existing mould before painting. Clean the surface thoroughly with a fungicidal wash as per product instructions, then repaint after it's fully dry.

The finish looks uneven or patchy.

Ensure even application by stirring the paint well and applying uniform coats. Avoid applying too thinly or too thickly. Allow adequate drying time between coats and apply a second coat if needed for a consistent finish.

Paint dries too quickly or too slowly.

Application conditions (temperature, humidity, direct sunlight) significantly affect drying time. Avoid painting in extreme heat, cold, high humidity, or strong wind. Refer to the product label for recommended environmental conditions.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup and Application

  1. Preparation is Key: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, dust, and any existing mould. For optimal adhesion and durability, repair any cracks or damage before painting.
  2. Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure consistent colour and texture.
  3. Application: Apply with a brush or roller. For best results and to achieve the full 15 years of durability, apply two coats, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.

Care

  • Cleaning: To maintain the paint's 'Stay Clean' benefits, gently clean surfaces with plain water and a soft cloth or brush if visible dirt accumulates over time. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning methods, which could compromise the paint film.
