If you are looking to hire a competent contractor to install spray applied exterior wall coatings for your UK property, you need to take into account a few things before making your decision.
You need to choose a paint that has the strength and durability to protect your exterior walls from the elements.
There are many different options available. Some have up to twenty times more protection than your typical exterior wall paint.
Sprayed exterior wall coatings offer protection from dirt, rain, pollution, oil and algae
Our spray applied exterior wall coatings offer a variety of protection from rain, dirt, pollution, oil and algae.
Aside from making your home look nice, they are also highly cost effective.
They are durable, low-maintenance and provide over 20 years of protection.
Our wall coatings are a durable waterproofing coating that offers a permanent seal and long-lasting protection from water, mould, damp and mildew. Also, this coating provides UV light resistance.
Spray on wall coatings are extremely flexible!
Besides, it is also very flexible. Besides, its life expectancy is thirty years but comes with a 20 year guarantee.
Moreover, it offers high weather resistance, freeze-thaw resistance, and a breathable barrier that prevents the growth of mould and algae.
We use Wethertex coatings which are high-performance alternatives to masonry paint that contain generous amounts of binders, zinc, titanium oxides, and minerals.
It is also available in attractive colours. Compared to conventional masonry paints, Wethertex MP44 is 20 times thicker. Moreover, it is a resin-based, microporous, and vapour permeable coating that is applied by spray.
Our spray applied coating offers a smooth, uniform, and beautiful finish. Besides, it is available in 19 standard colours.
The wall coating is very thick and viscous and cannot be applied by brush or roller, which is why it is sprayed onto the walls instead.
You can see a demonstration video clip of the wall coating being sprayed, further down the page.
Dulux weathershield paints are simply coloured water so don’t bother with them unless you enjoy wasting money.
A good coat of paint can last for decades, but if you’re a DIY enthusiast it can be a daunting task to determine where to start.
When selecting your paints, it’s best to consider the condition of the existing surface before deciding on your chosen pigments and finish. For example, you can’t apply an oil based paint to a plaster surface. So, make sure you use the correct primer before proceeding.
In a nutshell, a good spray on wall coating will add a splash of colour to your home, while protecting it from the elements.
If you’re have your exterior walls painted, you’ll have to deal with the weather too, so consider a damp barrier as well. This prevents damp soaking into the parapet and other unsightly nooks and crannies.
Never Paint Again Coating offers products that are up to 20 times thicker than usual paints
Sprayed exterior wall coating is a great way to increase the value of your home.
It protects your walls from damage and damp and provides a range of benefits.
A spray-on wall coating will outlast masonry paint many times over, which is why it is such good value for money, both in the long term and over a period of years.
Sprayed wall coatings do not fade, crack, chip or peel.
Unlike masonry paint, which does.
Many spray exterior wall coatings are specially formulated for varying climatic conditions.
They include super hydrophobic water dispersants and UV protection. Most of them come with a warranty and have the ability to improve your property’s appearance while protecting it against the elements.
The most effective exterior wall coatings are those that combine the best of both worlds.
They can increase the thickness of your wall coating while being easy to apply. In addition to this, you can get a range of colours and finishes to choose from.
One of the best features of these coatings is their ability to create a semi permanent seal on your walls.
This is important for homeowners in countries where it is cold or wet such as the UK and Ireland, although please note that we do NOT operate anywhere in Ireland (including Ulster), sorry!
External wall coatings are normally applied with a spray machine, although there are other systems available which get applied by a trowel, similar to a thin coat of render, but with colour.
Other important features of these coatings include the ability to reduce the amount of moisture that gets inside your home. These paints are also effective at preventing the growth of mould.
Textured spray-applied exterior wall coatings can ruin houses if not done correctly.
Choosing the right textured coating for your home is an important decision, one that you’ll be glad you made.
Having an exterior wall that is waterproof and protected from the elements can keep you and your family safe from harm.
For a relatively inexpensive outlay, an aesthetically pleasing new coat can make your home a much more pleasant place to live.
Make sure your home is suitable for a spray applied external wall covering because in some cases you can do more harm than good. An example of this would be an ancient house made of cob (Usually mud, lime and horsehair over a wooden frame) often found in rural areas.
Also if you own a listed building, make sure an exterior spray applied wall coating is suitable for your home, and allowed by listing regulations. A simple email to your local council will get you the information you need.
The right treatment will keep your home in tiptop shape for decades to come.
We’re confident in our ability to provide the highest quality textured wall treatments around.
Taking the time to choose a company that can deliver the right results is an investment that will pay off in dividends many times over.
Our spray applied exterior wall coatings offer a consumer warranty
Unlike paint, our sprayed external wall coating system comes with a no-quibble 20 year guarantee against fading, cracking, chipping and flaking.
We also guarantee that having a sprayed exterior wall coating will cure damp in your home, and will reduce heat loss through the walls.
Once your house has been worked on by our spray wall coating team, you need not worry about any further repainting, or exterior maintenance, for at least 2 decades.
Ask your local agent for more details on how this can relate to your own house.
Why are exterior wall coatings spray applied?
The wall coating system we use are spray applied which enables us to apply the wall coating much quicker than using a brush although that is not the only reason we spray apply wall coatings.
The material itself is very thick, as we said earlier, and spraying a wall coating is pretty much the only way it can be applied correctly, although that’s not the only reason.
If yo have ever tried to paint a pebbledashed wall by hand, using a brush or roller, you will know it’s a difficult and thankless task and can end up with the house looking terrible, with patchy paint and missed bits, plus millions of tiny toles all across the wall.
That is because when painting a very rough textured wall such as pebbledash, a brush or roller will never ever get right into the pits and troughs of the texture, leaving a poor result.
Spraying the wall coating means that the paint gets right into every nook and cranny on a rough textured wall, leaving a very pleasing and uniform paint finish across the whole house.
To spray wall coatings we use 2 different spray machines, one is a top fed hopper gun (see earlier photo), and the other, as you will see form the video below, is a special spraying machine powered by compressed air, courtesy of our friends GRACO Inc. of MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, USA
To actually spray the wall coating is not as easy as it looks, and our teams go through intensive training to learn how to use the machine to get the best sprayed wall coating finish, to a high quality our customers expect. It is not a DIY job.
Spraying wall coatings is by far the best way to get this amazing product onto your house, providing superior weather protection for at least 2 decades, delivered by precise, high pressure spray.
