Extend the painting season with optimal products

According to conventional wisdom, painting exteriors is a task reserved for the summer months. However, performing painting projects in early spring or late autumn can be a smart move, too, as one should avoid painting facades that are exposed to direct sunlight. 

In addition, paint can’t be stored in sunlight. Therefore, a very sunny summer is likely to cause problems for painters, and make spring and autumn, in turn, more appealing. With the right products, you can extend your painting season by several weeks.

For exterior concrete surfaces, Alcro Tillit is a great choice for a quality season extender. 
 

Practical Tips for Extending the Painting Season

• Monitor weather conditions: Always keep an eye on weather forecasts and plan painting activities during favorable weather windows.
• Prepare surfaces properly: Ensure surfaces are dry and free from contaminants. This is crucial for both concrete and wood surfaces.
• Use appropriate equipment: Invest in quality brushes, rollers, and sprayers designed for the specific paint type to ensure even application and optimal performance.
• Consider shelter: Use temporary shelters or covers to protect the work area from unexpected weather changes.

Choose superior performance

The choice of paint significantly impacts the quality and durability of the finish. If paint does not dry properly, it can crack, flake, or chalk, leading to less-than-desired results and reclamations from clients. 

High-performance, rain-resistant products dry faster and ensure a superior finish, reducing the need for re-painting – and increasing customer satisfaction.

Therefore, you should take care to select high quality outdoor paints that provide durability and surface protection from dirt and mould. Thanks to colour and gloss retention, high quality paints offer a fresh look that lasts for a long time.

By choosing high-performance paints like Alcro Tillit and adhering to the application guidelines, you can successfully extend your painting season. This approach not only allows for better project management but also ensures high-quality, long-lasting finishes regardless of the time of year.

 

Painting temperature between +7°C and approx. +25°C. Do not paint on sun-hot surfaces or if there is a risk of rain within 1 hour (or dew within 2 hours) after painting is completed.
