Description

Painting masonry is one of those jobs that both professional and domestic painters put off for as long as possible. That’s because masonry is tricky to paint and there’s often a large area to cover, making it a long job.

We’re here to make things a lot easier. We can’t shrink the size of your stone walls or garage floor, but we certainly provide an exterior masonry paint that works perfectly with any masonry surface.

The Best Paint for Masonry

Our highly durable exterior quality Weathermaster masonry paint is based on high-performance premium all acrylic resin for superior durability compared to other masonry paints.

Some masonry paints are too thick, with compounds that are tough, but suffocate the surface and ruin it from within. We’ve struck the delicate balance; Weathermaster is highly durable but also breathable, so your stonework or brick won’t suffer after a few coats.

Unlike a lot of exterior masonry paints, we made sure Weathermaster paint is low in VOCs and odour. Just because it’s being used outside doesn’t make it less harmful. Say goodbye to strong fumes and harmful chemical; our paint delivers exceptional performance without compromising your health or environmental sustainability.

The Most Durable Exterior Masonry Paint

But durability is still the focus. You’re painting masonry because you want it to last, but you also don’t want to need to add a fresh coat after just a couple of years. If paired with a quality primer and kept clean, your exterior masonry will look great for up to a decade. That means less time worrying about it and more freedom to work on other surfaces.

Weathermaster masonry paint is also UVA fade-resistant and contains a fungicide to inhibit mould and algae growth on the paint film which helps it stay cleaner for longer. Although it’s important to know how to look after painted masonry, Weathermaster needs minimal maintenance, just a quick clean every now and then to keep it looking its best.

As the name suggests, Weathermaster is mostly designed to withstand anything the UK’s infamous weather can throw at it.

Our exterior acrylic masonry paint is engineered to withstand the harshest weather conditions, including rain, wind, sun, and snow. Formulated with UV-resistant pigments and elastomeric resins, our masonry paint creates a flexible, waterproof barrier that prevents moisture penetration and protects your exterior surfaces from damage and deterioration.

What is Exterior Masonry Paint for?

Crafted with advanced acrylic technology, our masonry paint offers superior coverage, adhesion, and protection for a variety of substrates, including brick, concrete, stucco, and masonry.

Some masonry paints struggle to cling to rougher surfaces like brick or pebbledash, creating a streaky and uneven finish that looks terrible even from a distance. Our masonry paint provides unmatched adhesion for both porous and non-porous surfaces. Whether applied to new or previously painted surfaces, our paint forms a strong bond that resists peeling, flaking, and blistering, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.

It’s easy to apply too. Our exterior acrylic masonry paint features a smooth, creamy consistency that applies easily with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Whether you’re a professional contractor or a DIY enthusiast, our paint offers excellent flow and coverage, resulting in a professional quality finish every time. For the best results, we always recommend using our acrylic masonry brush, which has been designed with this exact paint in mind.

Because it works on so many surfaces, Weathermaster paint is best bought in bulk, so you can use it for multiple masonry applications without worrying about if it will still look good. This is great for professional painters who want to get the most bang for their buck, and want paint that they can use for multiple jobs.

Here’s some more info about our most popular colours:

White Masonry Paint 

White masonry paint is the most common choice for homeowners, due to how it looks clean, fresh, and works well with any colour scheme or style. White masonry paint is often considered the ‘safe’ option, or just plain bland, however with a couple of coloured accents such as your front door, garage door and window frames, white will really help make your property stand out.

Another benefit of white masonry paint, or white paint in general, is that its matte texture makes it slightly reflective but with 0 glare. This makes your house appear brighter particularly in the summer, which makes your home stand out even more.

Black Masonry Paint 

Black masonry paint is growing in popularity, particularly for modern homes and buildings. In the past, houses painted black were considered depressing and almost morbid, however now we see black homes and buildings that look very modern and sophisticated, particularly when contrasted with white, such as white front doors and window frames.

Painting your home black can also make your garden and surrounding greenery stand out. Lighter shades of green and flowering plants have a dramatic effect with black surroundings. Also, as black absorbs heat, painting your exterior walls black can potentially lead to a reduction in your energy bills as the heat stays inside.

Grey Masonry Paint 

There are far more than just 50 shades of grey, and this is very true for masonry paint. This is often an issue for painters, as some paints might be called the same colour but look different next to one another.

To help narrow down your search for grey masonry paint, let’s split it into two categories.

Light Grey Masonry Paint 

Light grey masonry paint complements many architectural styles including modern, traditional, and contemporary. It offers a clean and timeless appeal and reflects light which makes your house stand out more than darker shades. Due to light grey being so timeless and quite a neutral colour, it will increase the property value and be appealing to a broad range of potential buyers.

Light grey masonry paint has quite a subtle look, but when contrasted with dark accents such as black doors and window frames, those details will be enhanced.

Dark Grey Masonry Paint 

Dark masonry paint is mostly used on modern houses and buildings and is often the choice for those who think that black masonry paint is too overpowering. Dark grey provides a contemporary and sophisticated look without the gloominess of pure black.

Dark grey masonry paint will still absorb more heat than lighter shades which potentially could lead to your house retaining heat better than light grey paint. Dark grey can be paired with white architectural details such as windows and doors to make these details bolder. Or for a more subtle contrast use black for these details, it works with pretty much anything!

Green Masonry Paint 

Green masonry paint is a lot more uncommon than the colours mentioned above, however it could be the perfect masonry paint for your property.

Naturally, green is a colour associated with nature, and is perfect for blending your house in with the surroundings the property is in rural or garden heavy environments. It gives your property a sense of warmth and makes it feel like it’s a part of the landscape.

Particularly dark green masonry paint conceals dirt and stains effectively, so they require less maintenance than lighter coloured paints. If you want to liven up stonework or brick surfaces, green masonry paint allows you to make it a lot more natural.

FAQ's

Can I paint over old masonry paint?

After old flaking paint has been removed, ensure surfaces are clean and dry. Grease or oil on the surface will bleed through the new masonry paint, interfering with the longevity of the paint and causing it to discolour. Apply a fungicidal wash, to clean the surfaces before applying paint.

Do I need an undercoat for masonry paint?

You should be sure to first put down a coat of Paintmaster stabilising primer on your masonry. These primers are usually oil based. Your primer is going to serve as a protective coat as well as an additional binding agent for your masonry paint. Once you’ve let your primer dry, you can start with your masonry paint

Is masonry paint the same as concrete paint?

Contrary to popular belief, a standard masonry paint is not suitable to be applied to a concrete patio. This is down to several reasons: Masonry paint is designed for vertical concrete & brick walls. Masonry paint cannot withstand standing water, which an outdoor concrete patio must endure.

What is the difference between masonry paint and regular paint?

Generally, masonry paint is used to paint the exterior of your property, whereas emulsion paint tends to be more for internal use. The main reasons for this are that emulsion is at all weather resistant. If exposed externally, emulsion paint will not last.

What surfaces can you use masonry paint on?

Examples of masonry surfaces that you can paint would be concrete walls, brick, stucco, plastics, and softwood. However, you should not use masonry paint on floors as it will not last, or on ferrous metals as it does not contain rust inhibiting pigments.

What surfaces does Masonry paint work best on?

Masonry paint is primed for use on walls outside, but you might want masonry paint if you’re painting any of the following surfaces: Wood Metal (fencing) Plastics outside Flat stone (interior and exterior) If there is a surface you want to paint, but you’re not sure what you need, visit our Specialist Paint section.
