Exterior Wall Paint

What Is Exterior Wall Paint?

Exterior walls represent a huge part of the appearance of your home, with a beautifully painted property not only having fantastic curb appeal. but also increasing in value. This is why although it is a larger DIY project than most, painting the exterior walls of a house is one of the most popular DIY projects to undertake, especially as the warmer weather comes round.

Exterior wall paint, otherwise known as masonry paint, is a range of paints that are specifically designed to withstand weathering, not only transforming the look of your home but also offering protection to the brickwork. The majority of exterior wall paints are referred to as 'weatherproof', which essentially means they can withstand the effects of wind and rain without peeling. However, these standard paints have lifespans of between 1-10 years, as eventually, moisture will be able to get behind the paint, causing it to crack, peel and flake. This is why some paint manufacturers have developed waterproof exterior wall paints, that repel water away from the wall before it can have an effect on the wall. These waterproof exterior wall paints must be highly breathable, as using a non-breathable paint will lock moisture inside the property, leading to damp problems. That is why advanced super hydrophobic technology such as the one by Emperor Paint has been developed, that prevents water from soaking into exterior walls, while remaining completely breathable. This helps maintain the integrity of the paint, which is why waterproof wall paints have a much longer longevity. Emperor's Masonry Paint for example has a 25-year proven performance in all weather conditions.

If you are looking for the whole of your home to be transformed, why not look at getting a professional to apply an exterior wall coating?
