The same wall weathers differently here

Half an hour apart in this region is a different climate for a coat of paint. It changes the preparation, the system we specify and when the job can be done.

  • On the coast

    Merewether, Stockton, Swansea and the Tomaree peninsula take salt straight off the surf. It settles on the film and holds moisture against it, worst in the sheltered spots rain never rinses, and it rusts fixings until they bleed through the paint.

  • Around the lake

    Lake Macquarie brings humidity rather than salt. Moisture settles overnight, the western walls take the afternoon sun off the water, and mould turns up on shaded southern walls often enough that washing and treating comes first on most exteriors.

  • Inland and up the valley

    Maitland, Cessnock, Singleton and Muswellbrook swap salt for heat. Hot still summers fade and chalk a film faster, and cold mornings bring heavy dew, so on these jobs the days get planned around the weather more than the product does.
