Once your external painting project has been completed there is important information that shouldn’t be overlooked before filing your Leisuretex warranty and maintenance manuals – these documents contain notes about your chosen paint product/s, the recommended practices for paint care and using the right cleaning methods for your coating system.
Our Australian climate can deliver harsh elements and painted surfaces become at risk of developing dirt, stains, mould and grime. Even the best paint manufacturer products cannot withstand such conditions over an extended period of time, but with proper care and maintenance, you will minimize these levels of wear and tear.
THE BEST CARE FOR YOUR PAINTED EXTERNAL WALLS
A common oversight is the ‘paint and forget’ assumption. Painting is part of a process over time, the full benefits are realised when a professional painting project is scheduled alongside a good maintenance plan. Keep the outside of your painted building maintained by:
- Cleaning your building – a full washdown by a professional every 1-2 years will extend the maintenance cycle of external paint. Exterior surfaces are painted with highly durable paint and therefore can withstand repeated cleaning.
- Doing a walkthrough around your building regularly to keep an eye on the overall condition of your painted (and unpainted) surfaces. Schedule a nominated person in your building to conduct a visual inspection, they should look out for any rust stains, leakage or signs of structural damage that might need to be repaired to avoid premature deterioration. Keep in a mind, that a good painter should never use paint to cover up underlying issues – remedial repairs should be addressed and not dismissed just to save a dollar,…the future costs will come back to bite you.
- Budgeting for repairs to damaged facades, walls, timber, and steelwork
- Cutting back or even removing trees and greenery that are too close to building walls which can create excessive moisture, thus leading to things like mould and discolouration.
