The exteriors walls of my home become dirty and shabby after some time, I use interior emulsion paint and have to get them painted nearly every year which is expensive and proves to be a lot of hassle, what should I do?

We realized that this was a problem plaguing many people, therefore we, innovated, experimented and came up with the perfect solution: our specialized exterior paint Dulux Weathershield Fresh. The exterior walls of our homes are exposed to extreme weather elements like the sun, rain, dust, smoke, wind and temperature variation. Dulux Weathershield Fresh is a breakthrough technology that restricts dirt pick up, and its special color lock technology ensures that the color of your exterior walls will not fade away, thus making the house look “freshly painted for longer”. Also, our Dulux Weathershield Fresh is available in 60 stunning shades. The range also includes a Dulux Weathershield Fresh Putty and Dulux Weathershield Fresh Primer, which help to deliver a smooth finish while providing adhesion against alkalinity.

These days there is trend of permanent and semi-permanent finish on exterior walls, I am confused whether to choose paint or permanent finish for my new home?

Fashion is constantly evolving. Trends come and go with the seasons, but your home does not. Your home represents what is permanent and stable in your life, therefore, making this decision requires care and thought. The disadvantage of a permanent finish is that it is not only expensive, but is very difficult to change too. Once done, your stuck with it for a considerable amount of time, whether or not you want it any longer. So if you change your mind, decide you’re bored with the look or color of your home, you will not be able to change it easily as it is an expensive and time consuming process. However, if you opt for our ICI Dulux Weathershield Fresh, you gain flexibility and durability. Which means you can update the style and color of your home whenever you wish to, and that your home will still exhibit a new and trendy look in the long run as well,
