Paint & Wood Stain Ecological Building Systems

With KIRJO® winkelmandje roof paints you will find the right paint for your project, whether you are painting something new, maintenance painting or just looking for a colour change. Roofs are exposed to harsh weather conditions; therefore they need to be protected. Acchieve a beautiful finish for wide range of surfaces; panels, log, terraces, garden furniture. Can be applied for both planed and sawn facades, without the need for a seperate primer. Translucent finishes are often preferred to retain the solid timber feel of a log house, while claddings are often finished using long-lasting, opaque house paints. Properly done, high-quality painting stays free of dirt and retains its colour as well as keeps the appearance of the building tidy.

These coatings are designed to provide excellent adhesion, colour retention and long-term resistance to weathering, UV exposure, corrosion and regular cleaning. Some products can be applied directly to prepared surfaces, whilst others perform best with a compatible primer. Dirt, algae, loose paint and chalky residue should be removed before painting, and any rust should be treated before applying the coating. Many modern homes use uPVC or composite cladding around gables, dormers and extensions. For brick, render, stone or concrete, choose a masonry paint.

  • The paint surface rarely wears evenly, as wear is greatly affected by factors such as the direction of exposure and the house’s surroundings.

A wall shaded by wild vines or other plants is more exposed to moisture, which can cause algae and mold growth on the paint surface and paint peeling. An intact and clean paint surface protects the house from moisture, airborne impurities, and dirt, thus extending the lifespan of the exterior cladding. Using water-based paint is the easiest way to transform door frames, window frames, furniture and skirting boards. Selected products within the range are suitable for exterior use on properly prepared surfaces such as railings, doors and window frames.

Step 1. Preparation

We always ensure that the final result is even and perfectly finished. Having the work done by a professional, on the other hand, saves a considerable amount of your own time and effort, and you also get a guarantee for the result. Similarly, vegetation shading the house and especially climbing plants on the walls of the house should be pruned when you want the paint surface to last as long as possible.

Preparation work is the most important stage of maintenance painting

If you’re considering having the work done by a professional or need an assessment of the need for maintenance painting, feel free to ask us to visit for an estimate. When maintenance painting of a wooden house is deemed timely, a decision must be made whether to paint yourself or have the work done by a professional. Detergent is applied from bottom to top to avoid unsightly dirt streaks. As the paint surface ages, it becomes rougher, making dirt and dust stick to it more easily. If you want to change the paint type for some reason, the basic rule is that acrylic paint can be applied over oil paint but not vice versa.
