I really need to consider painting my house this year. Its conventional construction with a brick outer skin and a cement skim. The cement is not coming away from the brick but the paint is beginning to peel off the skim is a few places. Re-painting would be the obvious thing to do but at my time of life I would rather it didnt start to look tired in 6 years and need doing badly in 8~10.
I’ve therefor been wondering about alternatives and a company has offered an acrylic resin, plus UV resistant and hydrophobic coatings. Of course it sounds wonderful. It’s expensive too …but if it all lasts as long as they claim, the price could be justified.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating…so does anyone else here have long-term (or even short-term!) experience of these type of coatings ?
