FAQs
What is Seasonflex technology?
Seasonflex technology allows the paint to be applied in temperatures above 2°C, extending the painting season.

The paint is rain resistant just 30 minutes after application.
Can I use this paint on interior surfaces?

It provides a smooth matt finish.
How many coats of paint are needed?
Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability.
How do I clean the paint brushes and rollers?
Clean tools immediately after use with water.
What surfaces can I use this paint on?
It is suitable for use on brick, render, and concrete surfaces.
Does this paint prevent mold growth?
While the microporous film helps with moisture management, proper surface preparation and addressing existing mold are crucial before painting. This product itself isn't a mold preventative.
Troubleshooting
Paint is peeling or flaking.
Ensure proper surface preparation. Remove any loose paint and clean the surface thoroughly. Apply a primer suitable for masonry before applying the paint.
Paint is not adhering properly.
Make sure the surface is completely dry and free of any contaminants. Apply a suitable primer.
Paint is blistering.
Ensure the surface is completely dry before painting and that humidity isn't trapped behind the paint. The microporous properties of the paint help with this.
Color is uneven.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during application. Apply two even coats, and avoid applying too much paint at once.
