South Africa’s harsh weather conditions can have a negative effect on the exteriors of homes and other buildings. When property owners and painting contractors are looking for a paint that’s as durable as it is protective, Dulux Weathershield provides a solution.  Dulux Weathershield will protect buildings against the elements and it provides that freshly painted look for longer. 

Weathershield is especially formulated as a protective paint. It also contains a fungicide and algaecide so that as well as guarding against the weather it prevents unwanted surface growth. Furthermore, it has a smooth finish, making it easy to apply, and it spreads further and stays clean for longer than other coatings products on the market. 

With a spreading reach of 14m² per litre, a greater surface area can be protected with less paint, making Weathershield a cost-effective option for exterior applications. 

Marketing manager for Dulux Trade, Frank Wagner, says, “Weathershield is the most advanced and protective formula in our product range to date. Its superior alkali resistance eliminates the need for primer on bare plaster and it has the flexibility to bridge hairline cracks and allow for marginal movement in the substrate.” 

Weathershield is now also available in a wider range of colours than before – 84 colours actually – designed by Dulux’s own colour expert and carefully selected and formulated to offer the best resistance to fading. This is another feature that makes Weathershield an ideal and long-lasting solution for exterior coating in the South African climate.
