Breathable acrylic for render. Lets moisture out. No blistering.
Al Salam Tower, Office 15B, Al Barsha, DubaiEvery day, 8am to 10pm
Most Dubai villas are block walls finished in cement render or textured stucco. Render cracks with heat, new concrete is alkaline and stucco texture holds dust. We repair, seal and paint render and concrete with breathable coatings that suit masonry.
Surfaces
| Surface | Common Issue | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Cement Render | Hairline and map cracking | Cracks filled, elastomeric coat |
| Textured Stucco | Dust held in texture | Washed thoroughly, primed |
| New Concrete | High alkalinity | Cured, alkali-resistant primer |
| Old Painted Render | Chalking and flaking | Scraped and sealed |
Masonry needs to breathe. Non-breathable paint traps moisture behind it, which shows as blisters and peeling on hot days. We use breathable acrylic or elastomeric masonry coatings.
Fresh render and concrete are highly alkaline and burn through ordinary paint. They need curing time and an alkali-resistant primer first.
For cracks, see surface preparation. For waterproofing, see waterproof coatings, and for interior plaster, drywall repair.
New Builds
New render should cure for several weeks before painting.
Textured Walls
Textured stucco uses more paint than smooth render.
Masonry Done Right
Render and concrete need the right primer and breathable paint.
We repair cracks, seal surfaces and paint with masonry coatings.
Masonry Care
Render painting starts from about AED 30 per square metre. Crack repairs and elastomeric systems are priced separately. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
We use exterior acrylic and elastomeric paints from brands such as Jotun, National Paints and Dulux, with UV resistance, anti-algae additives and heat-reflective options chosen for each wall.
We paint between October and April where possible, avoid midday sun on hot walls, and stop in high humidity, dust storms or rain, because paint applied in those conditions blisters, dries patchy or fails to bond.
Good quality exterior acrylic paint usually lasts five to seven years in Dubai, and elastomeric or premium UV-resistant systems can last longer. Walls facing west and south fade faster because of the strong sun.
