FAQs

How many coats of Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint do I need?

For optimal durability and coverage, we recommend applying two coats. On bare or porous surfaces, a diluted first coat or a suitable primer may be necessary before applying two full coats.

What is the drying time for this paint?

Touch dry in 2-4 hours, and recoatable in 4-6 hours under normal conditions (temperatures above 10°C and low humidity). Allow longer drying times in cooler or more humid conditions.

Can I use this paint indoors?

No, Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint is specifically formulated for exterior use and is not recommended for interior surfaces.

What surfaces can I paint with Dulux Weathershield Masonry Paint?

It is suitable for most exterior masonry surfaces including render, concrete, roughcast, pebbledash, and sound brickwork. It is not suitable for common fletton brick.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers after using this paint?

Clean all tools with clean water immediately after use. Remove as much paint as possible from brushes and rollers before rinsing.

How long can I expect the paint to last?

Dulux Weathershield is formulated for long-lasting protection and durability, typically offering years of protection. Its Stay Clean Technology helps maintain its appearance over time.

Troubleshooting

Paint is peeling or flaking after drying

This often indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material before painting. Scrape off all loose paint, clean the surface, and consider using a stabilising primer.

Uneven colour or patchy finish

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Apply a minimum of two coats, allowing adequate drying time between applications. For very porous surfaces, a diluted first coat or primer may be needed.

Mould or algae reappears after painting

If mould reappears, the underlying cause (e.g., dampness) might not have been fully addressed. Treat the surface with a fungicidal wash *before* painting, and ensure the surface is completely dry. This paint prevents new mould growth *within* the film, but won't solve severe existing damp issues.

Paint not drying within expected time

Drying times are affected by temperature and humidity. Ensure application is done in dry conditions with temperatures above 10°C and not in direct strong sunlight or frost. Good ventilation helps if applicable.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior Weather Resistance: Provides robust protection against harsh outdoor elements.
  • Reduced Maintenance: Stay Clean Technology minimizes dirt build-up and mould growth, keeping walls cleaner for longer.
  • Durable Finish: Ensures colour and integrity are maintained for many years, reducing the need for frequent repainting.
  • Improved Curb Appeal: Delivers a professional, smooth finish that enhances the look of your property.
  • Mould Inhibition: Actively prevents unsightly mould and mildew from forming on the paint surface.

Cons

  • Requires Extensive Surface Preparation: Optimal results depend on thorough cleaning, repair, and priming of the masonry surface.
  • Masonry Specific: Not suitable for non-masonry surfaces like wood or metal without appropriate priming.
  • Drying Time Dependent: Like most paints, drying and recoating times can be significantly affected by humidity and temperature.
  • Application Specificity: For best results, specific application techniques (e.g., correct number of coats) should be followed.

Setup Instructions

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the masonry surface is clean, dry, and free from loose material, dirt, or organic growth. Use a stiff brush or power wash to remove debris. Treat any existing mould or algae with a fungicidal wash and rinse thoroughly.
  2. Repair: Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable exterior filler and allow to dry. Sand smooth if necessary.
  3. Priming (Optional but Recommended): For bare, highly porous, or dusty surfaces, apply a coat of Dulux Weathershield Stabilising Primer or dilute the first coat of paint with up to 1 part clean water to 5 parts paint.
  4. Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure a consistent colour and consistency.
  5. Application: Apply using a good quality masonry brush or roller. For large areas, a masonry roller is efficient. Apply two coats for best results, allowing ample drying time between coats.

Compatibility

  • Surfaces: Suitable for most sound exterior masonry surfaces including render, concrete, roughcast, pebbledash, and brickwork. Not suitable for common fletton brick.
  • Tools: Can be applied with brushes, rollers, or suitable spray equipment.
  • Other Paints: Do not mix with other paint types. Ensure previous coatings are sound and compatible.

Care & Maintenance

  • Cleaning Painted Surfaces: The Stay Clean Technology helps keep the surface clean. For stubborn dirt, gently wash the painted surface with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing.
  • Storage: Store leftover paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost.
  • Disposal: Dispose of unused paint and waste responsibly according to local regulations. Do not pour paint down drains. Clean tools with water immediately after use.
