Cold weather and cladding, no problem for Zinsser

Cold conditions are often faced by decorators, but as professionals across the UK have found, when it comes decorating outdoors in dipping temperatures, Zinsser’s AllCoat Exterior (Solvent-Based), is the weapon of choice.

The problem

One recent project involved spraying the exterior cladding of a warehouse during the winter months in St Austell, Cornwall, which had become coated with dirt and was in need of refurbishment. From warehouses and factories, to car parks and supermarkets, the Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Solvent-Based) silicon alkyd formula forms a low maintenance, water-shedding coating that is touch dry in 3 hours, even drying in low temperatures down to 5°C, making it ideal for outdoor wood, metal, masonry, plastic, concrete and cladding.

Why Zinsser was the best for the job

Zinsser AllCoat ® Exterior (Solvent-Based) gives excellent resistance against cracking, blistering and flaking for up to 15 years before first maintenance. The tough finish is resistant to rain and severe weather and offers excellent colour retention, in addition the paint contains a biocide to protect the dried coating against fungal degradation. After removing any existing mould and mildew, the first coat primes and seals the surface, providing a base. The second coat is the topcoat, which completes the sealing process and provides additional moisture resistance and protection.

Zinsser AllCoat Exterior (Solvent-Based), available in Satin and Gloss, will ensure that any exterior looks bright and beautiful for up to 15 years.
