Primers

Primers are about surface control and problem-solving. They prepare the substrate so finish coats adhere properly, look uniform, and perform as intended. Different surfaces and conditions—raw drywall, stained areas, glossy finishes, masonry, or metal—require different primer functions.

Primers seal, bond, and block issues before paint ever goes on. The topcoat sets the appearance—but the primer determines whether it succeeds or fails.

What exterior cladding needs

Exterior surfaces such as siding and trim take the brunt of sun, rain, and temperature swings. The right coating protects the surface, moves with seasonal expansion, and holds colour over time—without cracking or peeling.

Key Features

  • Flexible film to handle expansion and contraction

  • Strong adhesion to wood, fibre cement, and previously painted surfaces

  • UV resistance to slow fading and chalking

  • Moisture resistance to shed water without trapping it

What exterior wood needs

Exterior wood is constantly exposed to sun, moisture, and movement. Stain is designed to penetrate and protect from within—controlling weathering while letting the wood expand, contract, and breathe. The level of opacity determines how much wood grain you see and how much protection you get.

Key Features

  • Penetrating protection that won’t peel or blister

  • Multiple opacities — translucent, semi-transparent, semi-solid, and solid

  • Oil & water-based options for different woods, conditions, and maintenance cycles

  • UV resistance to slow greying and fading

  • Breathable finish that weathers naturally over time

What demanding surfaces need

Patios, walkways, metal furniture, pool surfaces, and textured concrete face conditions standard exterior paint isn’t built for. These surfaces deal with abrasion, standing water, chemicals, heat, and heavy foot traffic—so they require purpose-built coatings designed for extreme use.

Key Features

  • High abrasion resistance for foot traffic and repeated use

  • Moisture & chemical resistance for pools, patios, and wet areas

  • Strong adhesion to dense, smooth, or textured substrates

  • Slip-resistant options where safety matters

  • Surface-specific performance for metal, masonry, and concrete
