Weatherproof Your Home Like a Pro: Top Tips to Keep the Elements at Bay 

Hey, homeowners! It's time to get serious about safeguarding your castle from the wrath of Mother Nature. We've got your back! Let’s jump in and make your place as cosy and secure as a hobbit’s burrow. 

Assess and Inspect: Put on Your Detective Hat  

Grab your magnifying glass (or, you know, just your reading glasses) and inspect those walls like Sherlock Holmes! See any cracks or weak spots where rain could sneak in? Jot them down, because those are your "Mission: Weatherproof" target areas. 

The Science of Breathability  

Yep, you heard that right! Houses need to breathe too! When you're selecting an exterior coating, opt for something that keeps moisture at bay while allowing your home to, ahem, exhale. Here’s where solutions like Kingfisher Weatherflex comes into play. This exterior specialised coating offers not just breathability but also incredible durability and flexibility. 

Prep Work: Lay the Foundation  

You wouldn't paint over a dirty canvas, would you? So why do it to your house? Wash away the dirt and grime, tackle any mould or moss with our Bio Wash, and make sure your walls are as clean as a whistle. Weatherflex adheres best to clean, dry surfaces. 

Let's Talk About Paint  

Think of Weatherflex as the Swiss Army knife of paints. Its flexibility lets it expand and contract with the weather. It's like having an adaptable armour shield on your walls. Now that’s what we call weatherproofing your home like a pro! 

Application Time: Brushes and Rollers at the Ready!  

Whether you prefer using a brush, roller, or airless sprayer, Weatherflex has got you covered. This water-based, non-toxic paint is suitable for both internal and external applications, making it versatile and easy to work with. 

Keep Up the Good Work: Maintenance is Key  

Once you’ve weatherproofed your home two coats of Weatherflex, it doesn’t mean you can completely forget about it. Periodic checks can extend the life of your weatherproofing measures. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

With Weatherflex's "Lakes & Fells" colour palette, you can choose from a range of contemporary shades that add a touch of style to your fortress. It's not just about function; it's about making your home look great too! With 72 colours inspired by the lakes and fells surrounding us, you're sure to find the colour that fits your style.
