Kathryn Tormay, head of product at Crown Paints, shares why the new Sandtex 10 Year Multi Surface Gloss range and Sadolin Superdec are the perfect partners for upcoming exterior projects.
With winter coming to an end, customers may be considering their outdoor projects and which products they can use to give them the best experience. An exterior job can sometimes feel a little daunting, so ensuring you have all the stock in place for clients to get the perfect exterior finish, every time, is key.
As with any job, the final result of exterior projects often comes down to the groundwork. Hardware stores and builders merchants should be a fountain of knowledge to help customers get the best finish possible, as well as offer products to help prep their project. For example, before applying masonry paint, walls should be properly prepped and free of any damage, cracks and chalky surfaces. Mould can also build up on exterior walls, doors and window ledges, as well as gates and fences, so stocking a fungicide, like Sandtex Fungicide Wash, to treat organic growth is key.
Once surfaces are primed and ready to go, it’s essential to use products that keep mould growth at bay –especially in cold, damp climates. The new Sandtex 10-Year Exterior Multi Surface Gloss offers a long-lasting, high shine finish to outdoor metal, wood, and PVCu whilst being mould resistant, which makes it ideal for outdoor projects. It also offers a range of shades with a quick drying water-based formula, meaning it is touch dry in just one or two hours.
To get the best finish, customers should be applying paint in dry conditions above 10°C, but for the instances where they can’t guarantee there won’t be any rain, Sandtex Trade 365 All Weather Masonry offers a durable exterior emulsion that can be applied during all seasons, as it provides protection from rain in just 20 minutes. The emulsion produces a high-quality finish and give buildings 20 years protection from the elements.
Finally, when it comes to exteriors, providing customers with a wide range of shades and colour confidence is fundamental. Sadolin has just launched its Superdec in three new ready mixed colours, including Summersweet, Silver Coppice, and Herbaceous. The emulsion can also be tinted to over 1000 different shades.
