Complete Masonry Paint Application Guide

Surface Preparation

Proper preparation is crucial for professional masonry paint results. Clean surfaces thoroughly, removing dirt, dust, grease, and organic growth. Treat any mould or algae with appropriate masonry biocide wash. Repair cracks and defects with suitable exterior filler. Allow all repairs to cure completely before painting. Prime unpainted masonry surfaces with Knuckles Masonry Primer for optimal adhesion.

Application Techniques

Apply masonry paint using high-quality synthetic brushes for detailed work and cutting in, masonry rollers for efficient coverage of large wall areas, or airless sprayers for professional results on extensive projects. Each method provides excellent coverage when applied correctly.

Coverage Expectations

Our masonry paint provides approximately 14 square metres coverage per litre. 2.5L tins cover approximately 35m² per coat, while 5L tins cover approximately 70m² per coat. Porous or textured surfaces may require additional paint. Always apply two coats for optimal colour depth and protection.

Ideal Application Conditions

Apply masonry paint in optimal conditions with temperatures between 8°C and 25°C. Choose dry conditions with no imminent rainfall and avoid direct intense sunlight. Ensure surfaces are completely dry and low humidity periods are preferred for best results.

Suitable Surfaces

Our masonry paint is perfect for exterior brickwork (both exposed and previously painted), natural stone walls, concrete surfaces, external render, heritage and period properties, and modern masonry construction. The versatile formula adheres excellently to all these surfaces when properly prepared.

Choosing the Perfect Masonry Paint Colour

Architectural Harmony

Select masonry paint colours that complement your property's architectural style. Period properties benefit from heritage colours like Buttoning, Lost Fawn, or Pressed Leaf. Contemporary homes look stunning with modern shades such as Pigment, Catapult, or Terrarium. Cottage style properties suit traditional colours like Cottage Garden, Dorothy, or Lullaby. Urban properties benefit from sophisticated tones including Soulful, Musket, or Velour.

Environmental Considerations

Your masonry paint colour choice should harmonise with surroundings. Rural settings benefit from natural, earthy tones that blend beautifully with countryside landscapes. Urban environments allow for stronger, more defined colours that make striking architectural statements. Coastal properties require consideration of how salt air and bright light affect colour perception. Wooded areas complement deeper, richer masonry paint colours that work with natural surroundings.

Light and Exposure

Natural light significantly impacts masonry paint appearance. South-facing walls receive intense sunlight, so consider how colours will appear in bright conditions. North-facing surfaces appear cooler, and warmer masonry paint tones can add vitality. Shaded areas may benefit from lighter colours to prevent appearing too dark. Time of day affects colour perception, so view samples at different times.

Colour Testing

Always test your chosen masonry paint colour before committing to the full project. Order hand-painted colour cards for accurate colour representation. Apply test patches to different wall areas and view samples in various lighting conditions. Allow complete drying before making final decisions and consider how colours appear wet versus dry.

FAQs

Everything you nee to know about our Masonry Paint

Can I colour match existing masonry paint?

What's the difference between masonry paint and regular exterior paint?

Our self-cleaning technology minimises maintenance requirements. For routine cleaning, use mild detergent solution and clean water. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-pressure washing.
Is your masonry paint environmentally friendly?

How long does masonry paint last?

Our premium masonry paint is formulated for exceptional durability, typically providing up to 10-15 years of protection depending on exposure conditions and proper application.
Do I need to prime before applying masonry paint?

Unpainted masonry surfaces should be primed with Knuckles Masonry Primer for optimal adhesion and longevity. Previously painted surfaces in good condition typically don't require priming.

Breathable masonry paint allows moisture vapour to escape from wall structures while preventing water ingress. This prevents damp issues and maintains masonry health, particularly important for solid wall construction.

Yes, our masonry paint adheres excellently to previously painted masonry surfaces in good condition. Ensure existing paint is stable, not flaking or peeling, and the surface is properly cleaned before application.
