Not only do these individuals or organisations only offer conventional solutions but when asked, what seemed to concern our customers was the lack of peace of mind achieved by using these methods in that the guarantees available on such work vary greatly from maybe a year or so to as little as long as it takes the smoke to disappear when the guy drives away! In short our customers in the main thought it was case of pay your money and take your chance!

Whilst this method can appear to provide a relatively common sense solution to the problem of exterior decoration, it can in fact create as many problems as it appears to solve. Not only is this a fairly short term answer but modern exterior paints are either water based and offer no protection or oil based and seal the existing damp within the property and cause the building to "sweat". |
This is the other main type of "modern" wall coating material which is a two coat trowel applied product and roller brushed down to finish. This process creates quite a spiky and some would say Christmas cake like appearance. One of the ingredients is marble which creates quite a coarse finish and can be prone to harbour moisture and retain dirt and algae which causes discolouration and premature breakdown.
