Amazing technicolor dream coat: Dulux Trade launches colourful new range for exterior wood

Exterior wood will be looking vibrant this season, with the introduction of over 620 new tinted colours to the popular Weathershield portfolio of exterior trade paints from Dulux Trade.

Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss is the first water-based gloss finish for exterior trim that combines all the attributes of water-based technology without compromising on durability, for up to six years protection. With lower embodied carbon than its solvent-based counterparts, Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss is a high performance, low environmental impact choice for domestic and commercial buildings.

The fully VOC 2010 compliant product combines excellent opacity and gloss retention, for a long lasting professional finish. The quick drying formula is touch dry in one hour and ready to recoat after four hours, reducing downtime to a minimum. Non-yellowing and with added algaecides and fungicides, Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss keeps exterior paintwork looking fresher for longer, eliminating the need for frequent redecoration.

Combining new Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Gloss with Dulux Trade Weathershield Quick Drying Exterior Undercoat, represents a complete water-based solution for exterior trim work. The Weathershield system provides ultimate exterior protection for up to six years, which in turn delivers long term cost savings by increasing the time between maintenance cycles. What's more, it has great flow, which reduces the amount of visible brush marks, is very easy to apply, and has excellent sheen level for water based paint.

The extensive new range of Weathershield colours is perfect for injecting personality into exterior design schemes, without compromising on the performance and protection that comes as standard with a Dulux Trade product. A great deal of time and research has gone into developing the Weathershield range of products, so we are excited to be able to offer our customers even greater choice for exterior woodwork.
