Why exterior wall coatings?

/in , /by

Our wall coating service is our primary offering here at All Weather Coating. An amalgamation of the finest weather resistant materials, available in a range of colours and textures, our exterior wall coatings are extremely popular – but why are so many homeowners across the UK picking us over our competitors?

A weatherproof coating that works properly is a rarity. Over our years of fitting homes with exterior wall coatings though, we have been able to not only perfect our product but the method of application too. Our painting services, based in London, have consistently fulfilled our promises of a durable, impeccable-looking finish.

Appearance

The most immediately identifiable impact of an exterior wall coating service is a visual one. Beaten and battered over the years by the turbulent British weather, it doesn’t take all that long for an ill-protected exterior to begin to fade and wear away.

A vibrant, beaming exterior can very easily wane into a feeble, sickly, shadow of what it once was. With the help of a weatherproof coating service however, your home’s exterior can be restored to its former glory.

If you’d rather head in another direction aesthetically, we can accommodate that too. Whether the home exterior of your dreams is red, yellow, green, pink or somewhere in between, you can rest assured that you will find the perfect colour and textured exterior wall coatings for you at All Weather Coating.

Durability

Underlying the startling visual impact of our wall coatings is a vital protective quality – the importance of which cannot be overstated. Without a sturdy exterior, a home is exceptionally vulnerable. Infiltrating your home’s walls to ruin your interior, the likelihood of penetrating damp affecting your home is dramatically increased by a poorly outfitted exterior. Owing to the presence of hydrophobic silicone, our external wall paint is more than capable of repelling unwanted moisture.

In Britain, where rain is far from uncommon, it is fair to say that your home’s exterior needs to be able to endure its fair share of rain and emerge out the other side unscathed. Because of its weather resistant qualities, our external house painting service is able to make your home durable and impervious to damp.

Money-saving

The costs associated with treating and curing dampness can be prohibitively expensive, and by pre-empting the onset of damp with a precautionary preventative measure like damp-proofing paint for exterior walls, you can avoid these costs. While there is a short-term initial outlay involved with acquiring protective wall coatings, long-term, their preservative quality means you will save money. A testament to our confidence in the longevity of our wall coatings is our guarantee that they will last 25 years.

Overall then, the appeal of external wall coatings can be characterised in three primary ways.

Appearance-wise, an exterior wall coating service can really refresh and rejuvenate a tired-looking home exterior. Waterproof coatings’ ability to bolster your home’s durability is perhaps even more crucial. By helping your home stave off damp and other associated ills, the application of a resin wall coating can save you money long-term too.

Penetrating Damp Treatment London

In 2013, Aviva, the UK’s biggest home insurer compiled a list of the most common claims made against home insurance policies. Topping the list was ‘escaping water’. Another insurance provider in 2013, Confused, also listed ‘escape of water’ within its top five most common claims.

For homeowners throughout the UK then, damp is an extremely prevalent issue. Unfortunately, it is also one of those issues that doesn’t seem to be visible until it is too late. Uncovering the source of the issue can be extremely tricky and you can paper over one gap only to find another has developed elsewhere.

To walk you through some of the ways damp is able to infiltrate your home as well as the best ways to ensure it never returns, we have put together this overview of why and how we carry out damp proofing. We are accomplished damp specialists in London and we are intent on helping all of our prospective customers rid their homes of damp problems indefinitely.

Dealing with damp: Condensation

Washing, cooking, cleaning and drying clothes are all everyday tasks that contribute to the levels of moisture within the home. When the same home is poorly ventilated, this excess moisture has no escape route, which forces it, eventually, to condense and linger on windows and walls.

If you can confirm that the damp walls within your home are merely the result of condensation, you only need to better ventilate your home to alleviate the issue. Opening windows at more regular intervals, avoiding drying clothes indoors and investing in an extractor fan or a dehumidifier will rid your home of damp.

Dealing with damp: Penetrating damp and rising damp

On the other hand, if damp is present in your house because of penetrating or rising damp, you have an altogether different animal on your hands. Rising damp is different from penetrating damp in that it travels upwards through a floor or wall while penetrating damp infiltrates horizontally. In terms of treating the two however, they can more or less be dealt with as a collective.

How to get rid of damp

The ill-effects of damp can be counteracted with our penetrating damp treatment. By applying exterior wall coatings, you can reinforce your home’s exterior walls and diminish damp ability to enter your home. Installed with water-resistant silicone, our external wall coatings are designed to resist all forms of weather, ensuring that damp will be unable to invade your home.
