Ask anyone what the most challenging aspect of owning their own home is, and there’s a very good chance they’ll say ‘maintenance’. Keeping a property free of damp, mould and leaks - and staying on top of daily wear and tear - can feel like a full-time job, especially if you live in a period property or one that’s exposed to the elements.
Luckily, there is a way to significantly reduce your maintenance ‘to do’ list: invest in exterior wall coatings. Designed to protect your exterior walls, prevent water ingress and keep your property dry and comfortable, these specialist coatings will help to minimise the hassle of owning your own home.
Durable
Exterior walls are built to cope with rain, wind, sun and anything else Mother Nature can throw at them. However, even the best made walls need a little extra help when it comes to withstanding the worst of the powerful Scottish weather.
Applying a specialist exterior wall coating to your home will protect it from sub-zero temperatures, harsh UV rays, lashing rain and howling wind. The coatings contain high quality acrylics and resins which ensure their excellent performance long term.
Water Resistant
The cost of exterior wall coatings is often offset by the significant reduction in the amount you need to spend on maintenance. As exterior wall coatings are water resistant, they stop moisture penetrating your walls, helping to ensure they’re not compromised by prolonged exposure to water.
Preventing water ingress can also help to avoid common issues like damp, mould and discolouration on interior walls. Side-stepping these problems could save you serious money in the long run.
Breathable
Specialist exterior wall coatings have a micro-porous design. This means that they allow air to circulate while preventing a build-up of moisture. Breathability is important for external walls as it helps to maintain the health of the building and keeps bricks, blockwork and other construction materials in good condition.
Insulative
If your home is cold in the winter and hot in the summer, it may benefit from some extra insulation. Selecting an exterior wall coating that offers additional insulation will help to improve the energy efficiency of your home and make it a more comfortable place to be. It could also help to lower your energy bills, further offsetting the initial exterior wall coating cost.
