Collection: Dulux Weathershield

Dulux Weathershield is an exterior specialist paint that has been designed specifically to be used on exterior masonry, wood and metal surfaces. It works through using advanced technology to help withstand the elements, helping your paint to look better for longer and provides a tough, hard wearing finish that provides protection from all weather conditions.

For the best results, we recommend following the following steps to prepare your surfaces perfectly before applying any of the Dulux Weathershield products:

• Ensure all surfaces to be painted are clean and dry with no dirt, grease, rust or flaking paint. (Areas affected by mould, algae or fungi should be treated with an appropriate fungicidal wash.)
• If applying Dulux Weathershield to metal surfaces  Remove rust using an appropriate rust remover. On new galvanised metal surfaces, allow to weather for six months before application.
• When applying over new bare wooden surfaces, to ensure 6 year weather protection is achieved, prepare bare wood with an appropriate wooden exterior primer, ensuring that you are wiping off any excess.
• Any surface defects should be repaired prior to application
• Thoroughly rub down previously painted surfaces, using ‘wet flatting’ methods where possible, then wipe off with a damp, lint free cloth.

Our range of Dulux Weathershield products will provide extensive protection for up to six years if correctly applied as per the instructions for use.

Dulux Trade Weathershield is formulated with higher-quality ingredients compared to standard Dulux Weathershield, offering enhanced performance for more demanding applications. It provides higher opacity and better spreadability, helping to achieve a smoother and more efficient application.

Standard Dulux Weathershield is designed to target more home DIY users, making it a practical and accessible option for general exterior decorating. In contrast, Dulux Trade Weathershield is widely recognised as being more suitable for professional decorators who require durable, faster-covering results and a more premium level of performance.

Yes, Dulux Weathershield usually requires two coats to achieve the correct opacity, weather protection, and overall finish.

You can repaint directly over existing exterior paint provided that the original coating is in good condition, with no signs of chipping, cracking, or peeling. The surface should also be free from chalking (a powdery residue often found on older paint), and the existing paint must be compatible with the new product being applied.
