Paints & Coatings

Looking for the right finish to protect, refresh or upgrade your walls? Our Paints & Coatings range brings together specialist products for render, masonry and other compatible surfaces, helping you get the right balance of appearance, breathability and protection for the job.

This category covers more than just paint. It includes breathable finishes for mineral backgrounds, weather-resistant coatings for external walls and specialist products designed to help protect surfaces from moisture, dirt and day-to-day exposure. So whether you are touching up a façade, finishing an EWI system or choosing a coating for a more traditional property, you will find a suitable option here.

What kind of products are in this category?

Different jobs call for different coatings, which is why this range includes several product types.

Silicone paints are ideal when you want a durable, water-repellent finish that helps external walls stay protected and looking smart for longer. They are a popular choice for render and masonry where weather resistance and low maintenance are important.

Silicate paints are all about breathability. They are suited to mineral surfaces and are a great option when moisture vapour needs to escape freely through the surface. That makes them especially useful on older buildings and projects where a more breathable system is needed.

Lime paints are typically chosen for traditional or heritage-style work, especially on lime-based backgrounds. They offer a breathable decorative finish that works well where compatibility with older materials matters.

Protective coatings, such as Render Shield, are designed to help preserve the appearance of the surface and add an extra layer of defence against weathering, dirt and general wear.

Bitumen paint is a different type of product again, used where a more robust moisture-resistant protective coating is needed rather than a decorative wall finish.

More than just a finishing touch

The right paint or coating can do far more than improve the colour of a wall. Depending on the product, it can help improve resistance to rain, support breathability, reduce surface dirt pick-up and extend the life of the finish underneath. That is why it is important to choose based on the surface and the performance you need, not just the final look.

Shop by project, not just by product name

If you already know what you need, you can head straight to the product type. If not, a simple way to narrow it down is to think about the result you want.

Need a durable finish for render or masonry? A silicone paint may be the right fit.
Need something highly breathable for a mineral background? Look at silicate paint.
Working on a traditional lime-based surface? Lime paint may be the better option.
Want to add extra surface protection? A specialist coating such as Render Shield could be what you need.
