Textured Coatings

Applying a textured wall coating from Homeshield, the UK's largest wall coating company, will totally renovate the exterior walls of your property, leaving a uniformed, attractive, long-lasting weatherproof finish with a full 15 year guarantee (Insurance backed free of charge).

The Homeshield textured coating system is designed to be applied the whole year round and is…

Pressure sprayed by highly skilled technicians
Up to 20 times thicker than conventional paint
Manufactured using a blend of minerals, acrylic resins and fibres
Exceptionally durable
Designed to eliminate penetrating damp
Able to block out wind-driven rain
Capable of resisting dirt, mould, algae and acid rain
Flexible
Unlike conventional paint so will not flake or peel
Made with high levels of UV resistance and hence colour stable
Thick enough to remove ugly scars caused by window or door replacements
Effective at hiding damage to walls from previous attempts at repair
Micro porous so allows the walls to breathe
Ideal for brick, stone, render, pebbledash and Tyrolean, etc. (a clear finish is also available for brick and stone).

Stage 1 ~ Cleaning Down

All surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned by either power washing or if required wire brushing. Years of grime, mould, algae and other contaminants are removed. All loosely adhered or delaminated paint work is removed. A process known as 'needle-gunning' may be required. This will identify any damaged render, Brickwork, roughcast, pebbledash etc. A biocidal wash is then applied to eliminate any underlying spores and prohibit any further re-growth in years to come.

Stage 2 - Masking Up

This process protects all doors, windows, paths and surrounding areas that are not being treated. This is achieved by masking up with tape, heavy duty paper, polythene and dust sheets. Great care is taken to protect driveways and adjoining properties.

Stage 3 - Restoration & Repair Work

Damaged render and decaying brickwork is removed and all cracks are chased out. Fibre re-inforced, polymer-modified cements (GRC) are used for repairs to ensure a perfect bond. Previously unpainted areas such as brickwork or pebbledash then benefit from a 'fairing' coat with polymer-modified render to fill small air holes and soften any brick lines.

Stage 4 - Homeshield Primer

Homeshield Primer coat has been formulated to act as a Stabilising/primary coat with up to 50% penetrating into the substrate and 50%. Forming a protective surface coating. The Primer coat also stabilises the substrate, counter-acting against. the alkali inherent in all walls and helps form the perfect key for the Homeshield top coat.

The subsequent Homeshield finish/top coat bonds with the Primer coat to form a bond of incredible strength.

Stage 5 - Application

Coatings are sprayed on to surfaces using specialist heavy duty spray equipment at up to 50-75psi air pressure. The complete system is up to 20 times thicker than conventional paint The textured finish helps conceal as far as possible any repair work and dries to a beautiful, uniform finish. Following completion your property will be left in a clean and tidy condition.

Smooth Coatings

In some instances a property will be better suited to and your preference may be for a smooth coating. Smooth rendered walls, painted face brickwork, listed buildings or even pebble-dashed walls in good condition all can be treated with Homeshield's smooth coatings.

The features of these coatings are…

The most technologically advanced available today
Super-hydrophobic (extremely water repellent)
Self-cleaning/dirt repellent as dirt is simply washed away when it rains
The best protection for properties which are particularly exposed to the weather
Excellent at preventing penetrating damp
Reduce energy costs as a damp wall requires more heating to keep the inside warm (wet walls transfer heat twice as quickly as dry walls)
Micro-porous so allow the walls to breath naturally
10 year guarantee with an expected 15-20 year lifespan
Silicone based and as Silicone is a mineral and mineral coatings are preferred and often stipulated as being mandatory on heritage or listed buildings
Water-based, free of solvents
Excellent weather and UV resistance. Colour stable
Can be used over renders, silicone renders, brick, stone, lime cement and previous paints
Matt finish
