As any developer knows building on the coast can present a number of challenges, with saltwater, sand, wind and rain leaving new paintwork looking worn and tired after just a few years. Regular repainting can be costly, but there is an alternative, as one South West property company discovered during its latest build.
When Legacy Property began work on its Seascape development, on the Pentire Peninsula near Newquay, it challenged specialist paint manufacturer Zinsser to find a paint system which would provide a 10-year lifespan.
Following a site visit from Zinsser’s business development manager Richard Thomas, a three-stage process using Zinsser Peel Stop], Bulls Eye 1-2-3 and AllCoat Exterior was recommended.
The system will ensure that the development, which consists of 10 contemporary apartments and two houses, retains its bright white exterior for the next decade.
Seascape, which is located just five minutes from the world-renowned Fistral Beach, took 15 months to complete and features a mix of one to four-bedroom apartments and houses, all with stunning views over the Cornish coast.
All the paints used for the project were supplied by Steve Caruana of Rabart Decorating Centres, from its branch in Redruth, Cornwall and applied by Stuart Elliott Decorators.
