Benefits of painting the exterior your home ahead of winter

In the UK, the winter months last far too long, and if neglected even slightly, our homes can take a battering due to the varied weather we get.

Read on to find out more about the benefits painting the exterior of your home ahead of winter taking hold.

Protection from the natural elements

First and foremost, painting your home adds a layer of protection.

You may not think about the exterior of your home often, it’s really important to keeping your home together. 

If your house is painted, it’s likely the paint is on rendering which protects the brickwork and is an added layer between you and outside. Using a paint such as Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint you’ll be adding another layer of protection.

Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint is a waterproof emulsion, which is perfect for decorating masonry, brick, render and concrete surfaces due to the protection it provides.

Whilst it adds an additional layer of protection, Sandtex Ultra Smooth Masonry uses an exclusive Microseal technology, that makes the paint breathable and resistant to peeling, flaking and dirt.

Increase your home’s value

Painting your home is one of the best ways to increase its value. This is especially helpful if you are planning to sell it or are actively trying to sell it. Choosing one of the 20, classic colours Sandtex offer from their ready mixed palette is just one of the ways that you could significantly improve your home’s appeal and ability to sell.

Adding to that, you can also...

Boost your home's kerb appeal

Whether you are selling or not, giving your house a fresh coat of paint will make your home look miles better - even if you’re painting it the same colour. Upgrading or even maintaining the exterior of your home shows that your home is cared for and loved, giving potential buyers the right impression, as well as anyone who is visiting your home because first impressions are everything. 

Protect your home from mould

We touched upon the natural elements, but have you thought about mould?

Using Sandtex Microseal Ultra Smooth Masonry Paint will protect your home from moisture, mould and mildew which can cause significant damage to your walls. 

Preserve structural integrity
