Silicate Masonry Paint for all surfaces
For years , customers have asked if they can use Earthborn ’ s Silicate Masonry Paint on previously painted masonry . Well , now they can .
The newly formulated Bonding Primer can be used alongside Silicate Masonry Paint for exterior masonry surfaces that do not need to breathe . This means that the 48 beautiful shades can be used on all buildings . Bonding Primer provides a mechanical bond between a ‘ sealed ’ wall and the paint , allowing Silicate Masonry Paint to ‘ stick ’ to the pre painted surface .
And in places where there is a mix of painted and unpainted masonry , you can now spot prime the patches where the previous paint cannot be removed with Bonding Primer and prime the rest of the unpainted area with Silicate Primer .
Earthborn ’ s silicate masonry paint provides the ultimate protection
The updated Earthborn product range means that Silicate Primer used on uncoated masonry with Silicate Masonry Paint will create a highly breathable and permanent chemical bond . On existing , sound , previously painted surfaces ( that don ’ t need to breathe ), Bonding Primer used with Silicate Masonry Paint will create a strong mechanical bond .
Earthborn ’ s new Bonding Primer
Earthborn ’ s Silicate Masonry Paint has been used on a wide variety of buildings including windmills , historic halls , new builds , seafront cottages and farmhouses . This new primer means it can be used on an even wider range of buildings , including those with a mix of previously painted and bare masonry , as requested by customers keen to achieve the best protection for exterior masonry . www . earthbornpaints . co . uk
Your door hardware creates the first impression – make sure it ’ s the right one
A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology confirms what many of us already suspect – that we all need to pay very close attention to our handshake . People are programmed to make fast and decisive assessments about each other and will base their opinion of you on this seemingly innocuous but crucial gesture . The most important being ‘ can I trust this person ?’
As any property agent will tell you , the same principle operates when entering a property for the first time . Often described as the ‘ handshake ’ to a building , door hardware is the first real opportunity to create a lasting impression in the mind of the homeowner or visitor .
If the handle feels weak or lose , it will immediately raise doubts including ‘ what else is wrong with this building ?’.
The best way to avoid this is to ensure you select a door handle that instils trust and delivers that ‘ wow factor ’.
Coastal ’ s BLU handle range comes as either a solid stainless-steel lever or a thicker stainless-steel wall , both providing high tensile strength and ensures a robust feel and action . They also undergo extra linishing processes to create a luxuriously smooth , super satin finish to convey the impression of the highest quality . But that ’ s not the end of the story . Our BLU range is designed and manufactured to last . Made from the best 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel , it guarantees the best resistance to wear and corrosion , even in the most challenging of locations .
This only leaves one question - have you considered what your choice of door hardware says about your project ?
