Exterior Paints Refresh the Look of Your House
Exterior paints should always be chosen carefully according to the target surface. Different exterior paints suit houses of different ages, outbuildings, and summer cottages. Traditional red ochre paint is an excellent choice for older buildings to brighten up a weathered façade. For a newer house, it’s worth choosing a high-quality exterior paint that withstands Finnish weather and keeps the façade looking neat for years to come. For painting a roof, foundation, or terrace, you should choose the paints best suited specifically for those surfaces.
Exterior Paints According to the Surface
Summer is naturally the best time to paint the exterior of a house or summer cottage. If the façade paint is flaking and fading, it’s high time to take action. Likewise, a roof or foundation with paint in poor condition often makes the entire house look untidy and worn. Painting a terrace, on the other hand, is often an almost yearly job—bringing your favorite summer spots back into great shape.
In Kärkkäinen’s online store you’ll find suitable exterior paints, wood stains, and wood oils for different wooden surfaces, as well as the right foundation paints and roof paints. Painting a house is quite a project, and the result should last for years. That’s why it’s important to choose a high-quality, weather-resistant exterior paint that can handle Finnish conditions year after year.
Temperature Affects How Quickly Exterior Paint Dries
It really does matter what kind of weather you paint in. The best conditions for exterior painting are warm, cloudy, dry weather. A good temperature range is +15–20°C, and relative humidity around 50%. If you paint at night, the temperature should be at least +10°C so the paint can dry properly.
The surface to be painted should be clean, dry, and warm—but it must not be too hot. It’s not recommended to paint in direct sunlight, or if there’s a risk of approaching rain. In the morning, you can start painting once the dew has dried, and you should stop well before evening dew begins to form.
It also needs to stay dry and warm enough while the paint is drying. If the temperature and relative humidity differ from ideal conditions, the drying time of exterior paint increases significantly.
Exterior Paints Keep Your Home Looking Great
Exterior painting has a major impact on a building’s appearance. Exterior paints provide significant protection against the strain caused by Finnish weather. Unprotected wood is more vulnerable to moisture and UV radiation from the sun. Exterior paints also protect masonry surfaces on the foundation or metal surfaces on a sheet-metal roof.
In Kärkkäinen’s online store you’ll find quality exterior paints for different parts of your home. Choose the right exterior paint for façades, terraces, roofs, or doors and windows—and order conveniently with home delivery! You can be sure Kärkkäinen’s exterior paints are priced affordably!
