Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss

Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior High Gloss is part 3, of a 3 part weather resistant and flexible paint system from Dulux Trade, specifically developed to give long-lasting, high gloss protection for exterior woodwork. It contains a fungicide to inhibit mould growth on the paint film and help it stay cleaner for longer, and provides 8 year weathering durability when used as part of the full Weathershield exterior paint system.

To get the best results, ensure surfaces to be painted are sound, clean and dry (new surfaces particularly must be fully dry), and free from all defective or poorly adhering material, dirt, grease and wax.

Previously Painted Timber

1. Thoroughly rub down all surfaces to remove any grey, weathered wood and surface sheen from remaining coatings, and then dust off
2. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1960s paint surfaces over wood and metal as they may contain harmful lead
3. Remove all loose and defective coatings, if necessary stripping back to bare wood
4. Remove and treat any mould, algae, lichen or moss on exterior wood with a suitable mould and mildew cleaner
5. Remove defective glazing material, clean the rebates and any loose or open joints
6. Replace any rotten wood and troublesome knots with new timber
7. Treat any remaining knots in the wood with an appropriate knotting solution
8. Apply 1 coat of Dulux Trade Weathershield Preservative Primer followed by 1 coat of Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior Flexible Undercoat

Bare or New Timber

1. Fill any surface defects, open joints etc, and replace any missing glazing material
2. Treat all bare wood surfaces with 2 coats of Dulux Trade Weathershield Preservative Primer followed by 2 coats of Dulux Trade Weathershield Exterior Flexible Undercoat
3. Excess product should be wiped off of the surrounding paintwork
