UV resistance, moisture resistance and climatic conditions — we have explained 7 critical factors you should pay attention to when buying exterior paint.
Choosing exterior paint is one of the most important decisions to make for a building. Wrong choice can lead to both aesthetic and structural problems.
Why is UV Resistance Important?
Sun rays deteriorate the paint film over time. A quality exterior paint should contain UV stabilized pigments and be resistant to color fading for at least 5 years. Luna Tones Elite Matte Exterior series provides superior protection against these harsh conditions thanks to its special UV filter formula.
Water and Moisture Resistance
Precipitation amounts vary greatly in different climatic regions of Türkiye. While annual rainfall exceeds 2,000 mm on the Black Sea coast, this figure may fall below 400 mm in Central Anatolia. The water repellent feature of your exterior paint should be at the top of your selection criteria.
Surface Preparation
Even the best paint will fade in a short time if applied without proper surface preparation. If there is existing paint, cracked parts should be scraped and the surface should be prepared with priming. You can strengthen the adhesion of the paint by preparing the surface with Luna Tones Covering Acrylic Primer or Concentrated Transparent Primer.
Color Selection and Heat Absorption
Dark colors absorb sunlight and increase surface temperature. This can cause thermal expansion and cracks over time. It is recommended to choose light and medium tones in climatically problematic areas.
