Painting a facade is a solution to give a new lease of life to your home. Suffering from the pollution and bad weather it faces, your facade can get dirty and damaged. However, be careful not to paint in any color because some municipalities have town planning rules, which would limit your freedom in the choice of colors or the general appearance of your facade. Check with your town hall for the regulations in force.

It is possible to repaint its facade alone, but you must know the suitable method and use quality tools. You can request a coaching session with one of our experts to give you as much advice as possible and answer all your questions and questions before repainting your house or façade in Abu Dhabi.

Some Tips before Painting your Facade

Only paint in dry weather. So avoid when the weather is wet, when it rains, snow or frost. The weather is an element to take into account before work. Choose your painting services in Abu Dhabi carefully and choose the morning or the middle of the afternoon when the sun is not too visible. Indeed, contrary to popular belief, too rapid drying of the paint can leave traces.

We Prefer to paint your facade square meter by square meter and from top to bottom. Lightly overlap your areas to make sure the entire surface is painted well. (same technique as painting an interior wall) Have someone accompany you if you need to use a ladder or stepladder. Whether it is to maintain the support on which you will stand or call for help in the event of a fall.

Equip yourself with a helmet to prevent yourself from falling or falling objects, such as paint cans or a tool. Take the opportunity to repaint all the wooden elements if you have any of the shutters that you have previously unhooked.

Before renewing your facade with the final paint, consider adding water-repellent paint. If you do not already have moisture insulation, it will protect your facade against morning dew and lousy weather. To paint your facade yourself, you will need quality tools and materials. So avoid low-end ones (paint included) and prefer to make more expensive investments to avoid being disappointed with the result.

After the Painting Work, it's time to Move on to Cleaning

For hand washing, use micro bead soap. The white spirit must not be in contact with the skin. It is a harmful product. Then if paint stains have dried on the tiles and glass, you can remove them with window cleaner and a cutter blade. Finally, if the paint has stained the floor or the tile for the exterior, cover it with soil before scrubbing.

Here is the list we recommend:

• Brushes of various sizes

• Roller for large surfaces

• Ladder or scaffolding (depending on the height of your facade)

• Pressure washer to clean before starting to apply the undercoat or substrate preparation

• Scraper to remove the previous paint

• An electric drill with a mixer to mix and homogenize your paint more quickly

Some of its tools are expensive and will only serve you a few times. Consider borrowing them from friends or renting them by the day. It is advisable to buy them new and of good quality regarding brushes and rollers. Remembering to clean them after use will ensure them greater longevity.

Materials to Paint your Facade

Once these tools are gathered, you will need to purchase the necessary materials dedicated to repainting exterior walls.

Depending on the condition of your facade, you may need the following materials:

• Plastic tarp to protect your soil or other objects/plants

• Marking adhesive to delimit the surfaces to be painted and avoid overflowing

• Beneficial antifungal facade treatment against fungi and moss

• Facade cleaner

• Fiber-reinforced repair plaster for cracks and imperfections

• An underlay for exterior walls

• Special exterior paint adapted to your support

How to Paint a Facade like a Professional Painter?

The different steps to paint its facade:

1st Phase: Installation and Securing of your Work

Protect your working environment with the tarp and the marking tape according to their use described above. Remove window shutters as well as plants that can be moved. Now secure your ladder or scaffolding by placing it on a flat, stable surface. Note that scaffolding is more suitable for repainting a facade and a ladder for heights less than 3 meters.

2nd Phase: Preparation of your Facade

You must wash your facade before applying any paint, at the risk of having a dirty and poorly done result.

Use the products mentioned in the previous part according to each case (treatment and cleanser).

3rd Phase: Application of the Undercoat

It is strongly recommended to apply an undercoat before your painting to facilitate the adhesion of the final coat.

Leave to dry after application (variable time depending on the paint used)

4th Phase: Paint Application

You can finally apply the final paint to your facade!

Mix the paint with your mixer and start painting your facade as advised at the beginning of this article: in small squares of 1 x 1 meter and from bottom to top. It is preferable to apply two coats outside but respects the drying time between each. Of course, this requires a specific skill to have a professional result, do not hesitate to ask us for a free estimate for your renovations.
