We regularly clean, decorate and ensure the interior of our home looks physically appealing. However, we often forget to give the same TLC to the exterior. Overtime, due to exposure to all of mother nature's elements, our homes can become tired, worn and in some severe cases - structurally damaged.
When paint is fading and cracked or the render has blown and showing signs of damp, it can really detract from the appeal and security of your home. It’s tempting to go for the quick fix, a new lick of paint or some spot fixes on the render. But to ensure maximum protection against harsh weather conditions, it may well be worth having a new weatherproof exterior wall coating applied.
So, just what are the benefits of choosing to replace exterior wall coatings? Let’s take a closer look.
Enhanced Weather Resistance
Our exterior wall coating acts as a shield against all types of weather conditions. This includes extremes of hot and cold, as well as UV damage and water infiltration. Come rain or shine by investing in the coating of your walls you can add at least 15 years of resistance against the good old Scottish weather!
Improved Aesthetics
Damp patches, flaking or cracked paint, sun-damaged colours – the weather and exterior conditions can soon take the sheen off any exterior surface. And if you’re tired of endlessly repainting or cleaning tired looking walls, then it might be time to try a more hard wearing and permanent aesthetic upgrade. Exterior rendering can be coloured and textured to provide the finish you want, and with in-built protection keeping things resistant, your exterior surfaces will have a new lease of life.
Crack Resistance
Cracks can be big and ugly or small and imperceptible, but no matter what a crack looks like, once the exterior surface has fissured then it is exposed to water ingress and further damage. It is possible to spot-fix cracks but this is generally only a temporary measure and can look uneven. A crack resistant exterior upgrade can cover and seal existing cracks and provide solid resistance against any new damage.
Insulation And Energy Efficiency
New technology and building standards have seen a much greater emphasis on insulation and energy efficiency. With energy bills rising and showing few signs of dropping in the years to come, it is essential we do what we can to make our homes more energy efficient. Modern exterior breathable walls coatings are designed to offer a much greater degree of insulation, meeting upgraded building codes and making your interior spaces feel much more comfortable.
