Exterior painting: which type of paint is best?

When it comes to exterior painting, using the right paint is crucial for ensuring longevity and protection against the elements.

A tradesperson specialising in exterior painting jobs will be able to recommend paints and they’ll take into consideration your specific surface type, climate, and desired finish.

Here's a breakdown of some of the best paint types for exterior use:

• Acrylic latex paints – A very popular water-based paint that’s durable and resistant to fading and cracking as it’s able to expand and contract with the weather

• Oil-based paints – Well-known for their tough and durable finish that’s smooth and glossy, making them particularly good for trim and metal surfaces

• Masonry paints – If you’re dealing with brickwork or concrete then masonry paints are the way to go for excellent water resistance and protection against moisture damage

• Elastomeric paints – Designed to bridge cracks in exterior surfaces, these paints offer excellent weather resistance and are perfect for extreme changes in temperature

Exterior paints also come in a variety of finishes such as matte, satin and gloss, each with different properties.
