And that’s not just in terms of going about their day to day lives but also thinking about the maintenance of their homes. [ Heavy rain and strong winds](https://www.lti-transformations.co.uk/blog/protecting-your-walls-with-advanced-coatings), as well as fluctuating temperatures can cause a wide range of issues with exterior walls, roofs and doors and windows. These can include structural damage, dampness, water ingress and a deteriorating aesthetic of your home. However, there is something you can do. Rather than just sitting there and worrying about the weather you can take a more proactive approach and give your home the [protective support](https://www.lti-transformations.co.uk/blog/waterproof-exterior-coatings-for-homes) it needs. One of the most effective things you can do is to invest in exterior wall coatings. These can be a very smart, effective and affordable way of giving your home the protection it needs – even in the face of the notorious Scottish weather.

This can lead to a number of common issues, including: - **Damp and mould growth:** This is generally caused by excess moisture penetrating wall surfaces and can lead to unsightly and unhealthy growths on surfaces. - **Structural damage:** Exposure to damp over time can cause all types of materials to degrade and fail, leading to cracks in wall coatings and further structural issues. - **Reduced energy efficiency:** The weather in Scotland can be cold and can make heating your home tricky. Poorly insulated walls or walls with structural issues will lead to higher heating bills and a colder home. All of which is why exterior wall coatings make such a good long term investment. ## The Benefits Of Exterior Wall Coatings By treating your exterior walls with [specialist coatings](https://www.lti-transformations.co.uk/blog/the-benefits-of-biocide-treatment-in-our-refurbishment-process) you are providing your home with a number of key benefits. Perhaps chief among them is waterproof protection, which will prevent the further entry of moisture into your home. A stronger barrier against moisture also reduces the risk of damp and mould. Coatings can also help to boost the aesthetic appeal of your home. Coatings are available in a range of colour and texture options and unlike traditional paints which fade and peel over time, wall coatings provide a long lasting and high quality finish. Plus, there are the thermal insulation benefits a new wall coating can bring. Research by the Building Research Establishment has found that homes with exterior wall insulation and coatings can reduce maintenance costs by as much as 50% over a 20 year period. The enhanced breathability and flexibility wall coatings offer also give your walls a chance to dry out, without trapping moisture. And a freshly coated exterior wall will also have a positive impact on the value of your home. [Investing in exterior wall coatings](https://www.lti-transformations.co.uk/blog/invest-in-exterior-wall-coatings-for-hassle-free-living) Scotland is a great way to protect your property against the worst excesses of our often inclement weather. But more than that, it can help to make your home more energy efficient and sustainable, as well as adding an aesthetic appeal which adds value and brings peace of mind.
