FAQs

Can I use this paint on wood or metal?

No, this product is specifically formulated for masonry surfaces and will not adhere correctly to wood or metal.

How long do I need to wait between coats?

You should generally allow 2 to 4 hours between coats, depending on the temperature and humidity levels.

Is this paint suitable for pebbledash?

Yes, its flexible film technology is specifically designed to work well on textured surfaces like pebbledash and roughcast.

What tools should I use for application?

A large masonry brush or a long-pile masonry roller provides the best coverage for the paint's consistency.

Will this paint prevent algae growth?

Weathershield includes biocides to inhibit the growth of algae and mold on the paint film for a longer period.

Can I apply this in cold weather?

Avoid applying the paint if temperatures are expected to drop below 10°C during application or drying.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface is completely free of dust, grease, and loose mortar before applying a new coat.

Visible cracking after application

Cracking often indicates the substrate was damp or too hot during application; ensure the wall is clean and dry before you begin.

Finish looks patchy or uneven

Ensure consistent mixing of the paint before application and apply two full coats rather than one thick layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, remove all loose or flaking material with a stiff brush. Treat areas affected by mold or algae with a suitable fungicidal wash. The paint is compatible with most masonry and render surfaces, including concrete, roughcast, pebbledash, and sand-faced bricks. When applying, use a high-quality masonry roller or a long-pile brush to reach into deep textures. Store the paint in a cool, dry place away from frost, and always ensure the lid is tightly sealed after use to prevent drying.
