Exterior paints are designed to withstand the sun's ultraviolet rays, rain, cold, wind, air pollution, and other outdoor conditions. The main purpose of these paints is to protect surfaces from physical and chemical influences and ensure their longevity and durability. When choosing facade paints, selecting a paint that is resistant to natural phenomena, in addition to its aesthetic appeal, is a key factor. Compared to interior surface paints, exterior surface paints require professionalism.
How should paint be applied correctly?
When applying paint, the surface must be properly prepared, and the paint should be applied according to instructions. Application should be done with a trowel. The application interval for exterior surfaces is 2-3 hours. In rainy weather, it should be applied 6-7 hours before the rain. After rain, it is necessary to wait at least 1 day before applying paint. When applying paint, care should be taken not to apply it to wet surfaces. When paint is applied to a wet surface, it does not adhere well and swells after a while. Facade paints become usable approximately 1 week after application. Therefore, when applying paints, it is necessary to choose days when there is no risk of rain and the air temperature is high.
Paint composition:
Facade paints vary in composition; water-based, silicone-based, textured, etc. Each of these has its unique characteristics. Silicone-based paints retain less dirt and have the ability to repel it. Textured paints, on the other hand, can create an aesthetic appearance as desired by the user.
When choosing facade paints, you should also pay attention to the following features:
1. Moisture resistance
2. Resistance to all weather conditions
3. Color stability
4. Protection against dirt and stains
5. Harmless to the environment
6. Easy to apply
