Nearly all of the homes built prior to 2005 which have a smooth plaster exterior (monolithic) are what is known as direct fixed plaster systems. It is these systems that are 100% reliant upon the paint finish and the sealants at junctions of the cladding and joinery to ensure weathertightness.

Originally these homes were designed as “low maintenance” but in reality when you are reliant upon only a coat of paint to protect the structure of your home you need to be extra vigilant.

At Fineline Painting we understand the issues relating to the cladding, and ensure that prior to repainting the exterior great care is taken in the sealing of penetrations and junctions . The paint system we use is an elastomeric paint that allows for thermal expansion and contraction of the cladding without developing further cracks. We are so confident with the product that we issue you with both a 6yr workmanship warranty and 7 – 10 yr product warranty depending on the system chosen*

Fineline also offer a complete maintenance service which will provide you with the annual softwash of your home and inspect all sealants to ensure that they have not deteriorated or perished. By having the house soft washed you not only have a spotless home but also remove the dirt and debris that can accelerate the break down of the painted surface.

Should you have concerns with the performance of your cladding and wish for an assessment prior to the commencement of work we can refer you to weathertightness specialists to provide you with a complete moisture assessment of your home.
