Fibre Cement Cladding

Most cladding is made from fibre cement, a material created by mixing cement with reinforcing fibres, such as glass fibres. The result is a durable and strong material resistant to water, rot, fire, and insects. Fibre cement is widely used in the construction industry for cladding, roofing, and piping because of its stability and long lifespan.

Painting Fibre Cement

Painting fibre cement is a popular way to enhance the appearance of cladding, roofing, and other applications. Before starting, ensure the surface is clean and dry. Fibre cement often comes with a primer coat, but it may need to be reapplied before painting. Choose paint that is specifically suited for fibre cement and resistant to weather conditions and UV damage. Apply the paint evenly using a brush or roller, and allow it to dry thoroughly. Painting fibre cement not only extends its life but also improves its aesthetic appeal.

How to Paint Cladding!

Painting your home’s cladding can be an excellent way to refresh its look. With the right preparation and materials, it’s a task you can confidently tackle yourself. This step-by-step guide explains how to paint cladding properly, ensuring your home remains fresh and well-maintained for years to come.

Step-by-Step Guide to Painting Cladding

1. Preparation: Begin by cleaning the cladding. Remove dirt, moss, and any loose paint. This helps with better adhesion for the new paint layer.
2. Sanding: If necessary, lightly sand the cladding with sandpaper to roughen the surface for improved paint adhesion. (Always wear protective clothing!)
3. Applying Primer: Add a layer of primer to improve paint adhesion. Allow the primer to dry completely.
4. Masking: Tape off windows, doors, and other surfaces you don’t want to paint using painter's tape.
5. Painting: Apply the first coat of paint using high-quality exterior paint and a suitable brush or roller. Leave it to dry thoroughly.
6. Second Coat: Check the coverage of the first coat. If it’s adequate, proceed with the second coat. Otherwise, add another layer.
7. Finishing Touches: Remove masking tape and correct any small mistakes with a damp cloth.
