Addressing the problems of redecorating old buildings

View Data Sheet - PDF
Until now, the redecoration of historic buildings has not been straightforward. Old lime-wash and distemper coated surfaces have been covered with water-based paints and emulsions because they are cheap, easy to apply and readily available.
The use of these coatings is a mistake. It is a waste of time and money.
Why is this a problem?
The solid walls of old and historic buildings contain a considerable amount of moisture. When standard emulsions and masonary coatings are applied, the moisture becomes trapped. Eventually, it forces its way out and causes paint and plaster to flake and come away from the wall.
Not only does this present a serious cosmetic problem, it also is costly to resolve.
Heritage offers the traditional appearance of the original coatings with the added benefits of durability, ease of application and complete stain covering.
Heritage is a cheaper and more modern coating than "Tradition" and will save money without compromise of quality.
Due to its anti-mildew and anti-mould characteristics, Heritage is especially suitable for applications where changing humidity, leading to mildew and mould growth, is a common problem, such as the interior of churches, monasteries, manor houses, concert halls and castles.
