Wall Coating Smooth - A Superior Matt Finish, Smooth Masonry Paint for External or Internal use

Climashield Smooth Wall Coating is a superior matt finish, smooth masonry paint. It is suitable for application to most types of external and internal masonry and will last for up to 15  years.

Features: 

Flexibility:
The superior grade smooth wall paint is specially formulated to offer enhanced elasticity compared to other, cheaper wall paints, available in most DIY stores. This 'flexing' feature gives it exceptional crack-bridging properties during application. Once fully cured, after around 24-48 hours, it will enable the waterproof exterior paint to flex and allow it to move with the expansion and contraction of the surface without cracking.  This important feature offers superior performance throughout the year, enabling it to withstand any seasonal extremes of temperature.

Durability:
The lab-tested formulation contains materials which are designed to give the waterproof wall paint long-term durability even in areas subject to extreme weather conditions.

Breathability:
The wall paint once fully cured, provides a microporous finish. This prevents water ingress, whilst allowing the painted substrate to 'breathe' the same time and allow moisture to pass through from inside to the outside and evaporate. This helps to prevent damp caused by the build up of moisture inside a property.

Climashield Smooth Wall Coating is a solvent free water-based smooth masonry paint. The low odour, non-toxic formulation makes it ideal for use on internal and external walls. The high quality paint has a thick viscosity that covers most textures of substrates with ease. It offers exceptional performance as an exterior waterproofing paint as well as offering a long-lasting washable finish on internal walls and ceilings. 

Prior to the application of Climashield Smooth Wall Coating, any surfaces being painted should be clean, dry, free from grease, oil, flaking paint and any other contaminants.

SURFACE PREPARATION:

1. Cleaning: Wash off any dirt or algae from the wall with clean water. This can be done with a pressure washer or depending on accessibility, using a combination of detergent and a scrubbing brush. Once clean, leave sufficient time to completely dry off.
2. Remove any loose paint:  This is important as it can affect the adhesion of the new paint to the surface. This can be done using a paint stripper, or generally with a wire brush and paint scraper. Only the loose or flaking paint needs to come off prior to application.
3. Neutralise and kill off any Mould or Algae: If there is any mould or algae on the surface, pre-treat with Smartseal Render Cleaner, to neutralise and inhibit further growth.
4. Remedial repairs: Make good any existing damage to pointing, masonry or render. Take particular care to rake out any loose or crumbly pointing and re-point using a good quality pointing mix.
5. Surface stabilising & priming: If the existing surface is friable or showing signs of breaking down, use Smartseal Surface Primer to harden and consolidate the surface. This will greatly improve the adhesion of the Climashield Smooth Wall Coating.
6. Masking: For best results, take time to mask off with tape any windows and other areas that you want to prevent over spraying or painting. This will result in quicker application as well as a better finish. It wil also save time having to clean off the masonry paint from areas it should not have been applied to. 

APPLICATION:

Stir thoroughly before use. Apply by paint brush, good quality masonry roller or by using an airless sprayer*. For best results, we recommend applying minimum of two coats. Additional coats may be required to cover strong existing colours or noticeable surface staining. To ensure a quality finish to all areas being painted, 'cut-in' with a small paint brush around window frames or other areas which are difficult to cover with the roller.  

COVERAGE:

Approx. 8-10 sq metres per litre. On textured or very porous surfaces this can vary and may reduce down to around 5-6 sq metres per litre.  

If applying by airless sprayer we recommend using a good quality brand such as Graco or Wagner. These can usually be hired locally.     

IMPORTANT APPLICATION NOTES:

1. Do not apply in temperatures below 7 °C or if the surface of the wall is above 30 °C.
2. Do not apply in damp or wet conditions or if rain is forecast within 24 hours of application
3. Do not apply to damp substrates.
4. If efflorescence or salts are present, pre-treat with Smartseal Efflorescence Remover.
