Victorian Weatherboards Houses:
Weatherboard houses make up a large proportion of the houses in Melbourne, and as so a large part of our work.
Dulux Weathershield paints are great for weatherboards, provding a guaranteed of 15 years. Choosing sheen levels from Gloss through to Masionary Matt, will give it the detail you prefer. But preparation is key.
Each weatherboard is unique, having it’s own character (and faults!), providing us with individual traits (and problems!)
Environmental Paints & Lifestyle Paints:
Manufacturers now produce a new generation of acrylic paints which are kinder to the environment. Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints, and no VOC paints offer a lifetime of easy breathing.
Dulux Weathershield paints are Low VOC and Low Odour, which is why we use them. All Porter’s Paints are water-based, and along with Murobond use natural ingredients.
Reflective paint, used to reduce heat transfer from the sun mainly on roofs, can reduce your cooling bills and your environmental imprint. But the most important environmental saving of a quality paint job is in saving the building itself, by simply protecting it.
