Elastomeric paint—also known as texture coating—lowers energy costs and increases your property value. This resilient, thick coating is a reliable, long-lasting paint solution that safeguards your house from the elements. Say goodbye to worrying about your exterior paint cracking, flaking, chipping, or peeling.
When elastomeric paint is applied by the pros, it protects your house from the effects of UV rays, wind, rain, dirt, smog, and aging. When your home is covered with an exterior coating application, it can help lower your indoor temperature and reduce heat absorption by up to 37%.
Elastomeric Paint Basics
Elastomeric Paint Defined
- Elastomeric paint is a flexible, high-build coating that is often used to coat home exteriors—from stucco to concrete.
- Its flexibility causes it to withstand the stress of expansion and contraction caused by temperature fluctuations and weather.
- It’s the primary go-to durable, exterior paint for home builders, commercial businesses, and homeowners due to its many advantages.
- It withstands extreme weather conditions and protects your exterior for years to come.
- It safeguards your house from costly water intrusion.
- This durable paint is often applied by the pros—in one coat!
Elastomeric Paint’s Makeup
This heavy-duty paint is made of a latex acrylic formula. The latex gives it the resistance, thickness, and elasticity to prevent cracks from forming. It is substantially thicker than other kinds of paint.
Where to Use Elastomeric Paint
While it can be used in many places, elastomeric paint works ideally on your exterior. Whether your house is made of wood, brick, stucco, concrete, or other popular siding materials, elastomeric paint can be applied.
It lasts longer than traditional exterior paint due to its enduring makeup. This eco-friendly solution works perfectly in warm climates. Its heat and UV ray resistance adds up to a more comfortable home interior with less energy use. Does this make it worth the investment? Yes! You’ll preserve your HVAC unit, save on energy bills, and experience greater indoor comfort throughout the year.
How It Is Applied
It’s wise to hire an experienced team of professionals to apply elastomeric paint to your exterior. Why? Because improper application may lead to bubbles on your paint’s surface. And the wrong application may contribute to structural damage.
Are you a DIY enthusiast? Perhaps leave this project to the pros. Before applying this thick paint, the pros will deal with any fractures or holes in your exterior’s surface. If your siding is made of wood, extreme caution is appropriate because this paint will trap any moisture inside and start to rot. Wood must be totally dry before it is painted. Leave the painting to the pros to ensure proper application.
