Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and professionals seeking a durable, flexible, and weather-resistant coating for exterior masonry. The key benefit is its ability to stretch up to 400% and bridge fine cracks, preventing future damage and ensuring a long-lasting finish. A potential caveat is the need for proper surface preparation, especially on previously painted surfaces. Bedec Extra Flex Masonry Paint is a water-based, low-odour, microporous paint designed to protect various exterior masonry surfaces like brickwork, render, and concrete, offering excellent coverage and a smooth, crack-resistant finish.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What surfaces can Bedec Extra Flex Masonry Paint be used on?

It is designed for exterior masonry, including roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces.

Can I apply this paint over existing paint?

Yes, it can be applied over most existing decorative finishes, provided the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and sound.

How much area does one litre of paint cover?

Coverage is approximately 9-11 square meters per litre per coat, depending on the texture and porosity of the surface.

Is this paint suitable for damp walls?

The paint is microporous, allowing trapped moisture to escape. However, it should not be applied to walls with persistent damp issues or where water will pool.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after use?

Clean all application tools immediately after use with water.

What is the primary advantage of this paint over standard masonry paint?

Its key advantage is its extreme flexibility, allowing it to stretch up to 400% and bridge fine cracks, preventing future cracking and damage.

Can I apply this paint in cold weather?

Avoid application during frost or when temperatures are expected to drop below 5°C, or when rain is imminent.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and prepared before application. Remove all loose paint, dust, and contaminants. Consider using a suitable primer if applying over a difficult or glossy surface.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible.

Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Ensure consistent application technique.

Paint is too thick for application.

If using a spray gun, thin with a maximum of 10% water. For brush or roller application, ensure paint is well-stirred and apply at the recommended temperature.

Cracking appears shortly after application.

This may indicate that the substrate is moving excessively or that the paint was applied too thickly. Ensure the paint is applied in thin, even coats and that the surface is stable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent flexibility prevents cracking on moving structures.
  • Effectively hides and repairs minor surface imperfections.
  • Protects against harsh weather conditions.
  • Water-based for easier cleanup and lower VOCs.
  • Suitable for a wide range of masonry substrates.
  • Simplifies the painting process with its self-priming nature.

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for optimal adhesion.
  • Coverage may vary significantly on very porous or textured surfaces.
  • Not suitable for application on surfaces subject to prolonged immersion in water.
  • Can be more expensive than standard masonry paints.
  • May require multiple coats for full opacity or to achieve desired thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dirt, and debris. For previously painted surfaces, lightly abrade and remove any chalking or flaking paint. Use Bedec All Purpose Primer/Undercoat if adhesion to glossy or difficult surfaces is a concern, or if staining is present.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement, and concrete rendered surfaces. It can be applied over most existing decorative finishes after proper preparation.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply by brush, roller, or spray in good weather conditions, avoiding application during frost or when rain is imminent. Apply two coats for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions). A maximum of 10% water can be added per coat if required for spraying.

Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. For ongoing maintenance, exterior masonry painted with Bedec Extra Flex can be cleaned using a mild detergent and water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
