With spring definitely here and more time spent outside, our attention has turned to our outdoor spaces. After a cold, wet winter, there are probably aspects that could do with a new lease of life, and a coat of paint is a great way to rejuvenate everything from a fence to a shed.
Irish paint brand Colourtrend have recently launched their Weather Collection, specifically designed for the Irish climate.
As well as durable paints, it also includes preparation products to ensure the perfect finish to your exterior paint, including Weather Woodcoat, fungicidal wash, roof coat, and a range of primers for various surfaces. General Paints Group Managing Director, Rachel O’Connor, points out that outdoor spaces can be designed like interior spaces, and paint is a great way to do this.
“Often people see painting their exterior spaces as an overwhelming task. We want to encourage people to approach these projects with the same design focus they would their interior. It is very much a decorative project as well as a functional one.”
Of course, a job like this requires the correct preparation, so we’ve put together a guide on how to ensure you get the best finish possible.
