Exterior Paint: Premium House Paint & Exterior Paint Colours

FAQs

• What is the best exterior paint for a house?

  The best exterior paint for your house depends on the material and exposure to weather. For walls, we recommend exterior acrylic paint or breathable exterior paint that provides excellent coverage and durability. For wood, exterior waterproof paint ensures protection against moisture, while oil based exterior paint is perfect for metal and trim.

• Can I paint the exterior of my house myself?

• Is exterior waterproof paint necessary for the UK?

• What’s the difference between acrylic latex exterior paint and oil based exterior paint?

  Exterior acrylic paint and acrylic latex paint are water-based and dry quickly, making them ideal for large surfaces like walls.

On the other hand, oil based exterior paint offers better adhesion to metal and wood, providing superior protection against rust and rot.
