Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint - Weatherproof Slate Grey for Exterior Walls
Long-lasting protection with Microseal technology:
Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint uses proprietary Microseal® technology to create a coating that is both waterproof and breathable. It seals exterior walls against water ingress while allowing moisture to escape from within, helping to prevent flaking, peeling, and cracking over time. This balance of water resistance and breathability is what makes Microseal® a trusted formula on Irish and UK exterior walls.
Excellent coverage and a quick-drying formula:
Each litre covers up to 16 m², giving a full 10-litre tin a potential coverage of 160 m² - enough to coat a substantial exterior wall area in one purchase. The formula is rainproof in as little as 1 hour and recoatable within 3 to 4 hours, so work can progress without long delays between coats.
Slate Grey - a mid to dark grey with a hint of blue:
Slate Grey sits in a mid to dark range on the grey spectrum, with a subtle blue undertone that gives exterior walls a composed, contemporary finish. The smooth, matt result works well alongside stone, render, brick, and painted timber details. It is one of 12 colours available in the 10-litre size.
Sustainable packaging:
As part of the Crown Paints family, Sandtex uses paint containers made from 100% post-consumer waste plastic, making this a more environmentally considered choice for exterior painting projects.
