Wattyl has a wide range of Architectural Coating products that may be used in combination to make hundreds of different coating systems. This guide is designed to assist in the selection of the correct coating system for your application by providing Wattyl’s most common coating systems for typical substrates and exposure environments.
System selection is a function of: exposure environment, expected life, substrate material, substrate condition, previous coating (if present), surface preparation method, application method, application conditions and requirements, structure design.
Correct surface preparation is critical to the longevity of any coating system. For details of surface preparation methods refer to the surface preparation sections of the Wattyl Architectural Coatings Manual along with the appropriate New Zealand Standards. For further assistance with system selection for a specific project please contact your local Sales Representative or contact Wattyl on 0800 735 551.
