Preparation is the key, but it is also vital to choose the correct type of paint to withstand the harsh British weather. The type of paint used on exterior surfaces must be micro-porous and flexible. This ensures it will withstand and flex well during temperature changes.
Unfortunately, in the painting trade many people cut corners especially on preparation and by using inferior products. In the long term this is not value for money as your paintwork will only last a fraction of the time.
Therefore it is ensured that all surfaces are prepared to the highest standard when Exterior Painting.
There are many different types of Exterior Paint and sometimes choosing the correct product can often be daunting. Over the years I have always returned to two exterior masonry paints and they are Sandtex Flexi Gloss System or Crown Stronghold.
A high-performance exterior Gloss system which provides greater resistance to cracking and flaking than traditional Gloss
A smooth, protective and decorative finish, for use on most exterior masonry surfaces and exterior grade building boards
