The Advantages Of Exterior Elastomeric Coatings

In order to get a great, long-lasting result from a full house refurbishment, we need to use the right products for the job. Using specialist treatments and coatings allows us to eliminate biological growth, protect your home from the elements, and prevent a range of maintenance issues in the future.

To help you understand just how much of a difference our exterior elastomeric coatings can make to the results and longevity of your property, we’re taking a closer look at the power of these purpose-made coatings and how they can benefit your home.

Flexibility

Almost all buildings move a little over time. If the coating on your home isn’t flexible, it’s liable to crack or peel, creating weak spots that can let water, dampness, and biological growth get a foothold on your property. The elastomeric coatings we use on our refurbishments provide superior flexibility compared to other products. This means they can expand and contract with the substrate without breaking, minimizing the risk of damage to your property and keeping your building safe.

Self-Cleaning

If you’re looking for a clean, modern coating, elastomeric options are ideal as they’re self-cleaning. The products we use are made with a mixture of silicon and resin. This combination is exceptionally resistant to dirt and other types of discoloration and build-up, keeping your home looking great for years to come.

Weather Resistant

Over time, the sun can have a huge impact on the look and integrity of your property. Harsh UV rays can degrade UPVC and other exterior fixtures and fittings, leaving them faded, brittle, and tired. The high-quality weatherproof elastomeric wall coatings we use offer excellent resistance to UV radiation.

Breathable

Another good reason to choose an elastomeric coating is that they’re breathable. This allows moisture to escape from the substrate, something that can really help to prevent blistering and other moisture-related issues.

Versatile Application

Elastomeric coatings are incredibly versatile. They adhere well to a wide range of masonry substrates including concrete, stone, lime, and surfaces that have previously been painted, making them a great choice for a range of applications.
