Spruce up your home this Autumn
The harsh winter last year created major maintenance issues on roads and buildings. Around the home, freezing temperatures and excessive snowfall left woodwork vulnerable having been attacked by moisture. Wet and cold weather also led to damage on paths, fences and windows. Now the winter is coming round again, it's time to make sure your home is prepared and last year's damage resolved. International's specialist paints are made for the job, so make sure you spruce up your home this Autumn, and help it stand steady against the impending weather.
Exposed doors and windows need plenty of care so quality paint is essential. International's 10 Year Exterior Satin or Gloss is specially formulated to suit these areas. It has a micro porous formula which allows wood to breathe, letting moisture from the wood escape, but keeping damaging rain and snow out. It's flexible so when materials expand and contract in varying temperatures, it moves with them and prevents cracks and flakes. This is great for wooden front doors and window frames, with 11 shades to choose from. If your windows or doors are UPVC, there is still an option to spruce them up using International UPVC Primer, flowed by a top coat of 10 Year Exterior. This means you can choose a colour, or simply refresh with white if your UPVC is yellowing.
Other areas where it's great to get set for winter are porches and lintels. Use 10 Year Exterior Satin in Cornwall Sands like we did on this porch, or choose another of the specialist paints International offer such as Soffit and Fascia Paint and Drainpipe and Gutter Paint.
When the snow and ice are coming, it's a good idea to protect yourself and your visitors from possible skids and falls. Whether going up steps, or on the garden path, there are places where we all need a little extra grip. International Anti-Slip Floor Paint does just this. Usable indoors and out, it has a textured finish which helps prevent slips in treacherous conditions. Available in Polar White, Sandstone, Granite Grey and Tile Red, you can walk with confidence in winter with this underfoot!
