This guide is for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a durable, flexible, and high-build masonry paint. The Wethertex Heavily Textured Masonry Paint offers excellent coverage and a robust finish for exterior walls, with its key benefit being extreme flexibility that accommodates building movement.

This paint is designed for exterior masonry surfaces, including render, brick, and concrete. Ensure the surface is sound and properly prepared.
While the high-build nature can offer good coverage, two coats are generally recommended for optimal durability, opacity, and the intended textured finish.
This specific product is a white coating. While it can serve as a base for tinting with compatible masonry colorants, it's best to consult Wethertex or a paint specialist for tinting compatibility and maximum tint levels.
Drying times vary based on temperature, humidity, and film thickness. Typically, it is touch dry within 2-4 hours and recoatable after 6-12 hours under normal conditions. Allow longer drying times in cooler or more humid environments.
No, this paint requires a sound surface. All loose, flaking, or unstable paint must be removed, and the surface should be properly prepared before application.
Coverage rates can vary depending on the surface porosity and texture. A general guideline for high-build masonry paints is approximately 2-4 square meters per liter per coat. For the 15KG tub, this would translate to roughly 30-60 square meters for a single coat, depending on application.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from dust or contaminants. A suitable primer may be needed for porous or bare surfaces.
Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply with consistent pressure and technique. Avoid overworking the paint in small areas.
This can indicate inadequate surface preparation or application in adverse weather conditions. Ensure proper adhesion and environmental conditions during drying.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If still very thick due to cold conditions, a very small amount of water (max 5%) might be added, but this can affect performance. Optimal application is usually at room temperature.
Preparation: Before application, ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose render, dust, and efflorescence. Any existing paint should be sound; unstable coatings must be removed. Prime bare or porous surfaces with a suitable masonry primer.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for masonry surfaces. It is generally compatible with most sound, previously painted or rendered exterior walls. Test compatibility on a small, inconspicuous area if applying over unknown existing coatings.
Application: Apply using a high-quality masonry brush or a suitable roller. For best results, apply in dry conditions with temperatures between 10°C and 25°C. Avoid applying in direct sunlight, rain, or strong winds. Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply evenly, ensuring consistent coverage. Two coats are often recommended for optimal performance and finish.
Care: Clean tools and spills immediately after use with water. Once dry, the paint finish is durable. For cleaning the painted surface, a soft brush or damp cloth can be used gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
