High Quality Exterior Texture Coating by JPS Coatings

One way to enhance the overall appearance of a home is to repaint the outer façade. With countless paints and coatings on the market, it is important to first consider the difference between a high quality exterior texture coating and traditional paint.

Here is a list of differences between an exterior textured coating and paint:

1. Waterproofing
In general, paints are not waterproof and act like an unbreathable mask. Allowing rainwater or moisture to seep into the wall substrate, leading to mould and mildew proliferation, unsightly wall lumps and premature peeling of paint.

Exterior texture coatings are highly resistant to water infiltration. They allow the structure to breathe by letting the moisture produced from the interior to leave the home as a vapour. This mechanism prevents the occurrence of wall lumps and inhibits the growth of mould and mildew.

2. Energy-Efficient
While paints add colour to the exterior wall façade, most are not immune to the sun's ultraviolet rays. The chemical structure of traditional paints absorbs a substantial amount of ultraviolet rays. This leads to photodegradation or the untimely fading of exterior wall colours. In addition, the heat transfer from absorbing ultraviolet rays causes a spike in energy consumption.

An exterior texture coating provides a thick barrier which helps impede the intrusion of heat and cold air. The textured surface reflects the ultraviolet rays without absorbing the heat. This assists the heating and cooling systems to work efficiently.

3. Enhance and Protect
Paints are only effective when newly applied. As we've learned, excessive exposure to harsh elements and water infiltration will soon take its toll on the paint. On the other hand, an exterior texture coating provides a practical and cost effective solution that enhances and protects the exterior walls of a home.

4. Minimal Upkeep
Texture coatings require minimal upkeep in comparison to paint. If the paint starts to show signs of wear, the only thing to do to rectify it, is to strip the walls of paint and repaint the substrate.

When an exterior texture coating becomes soiled, it only requires a good wash using clean water and mild detergent. If Tex-Guard decorative sealer is used over the texture coating; then the overall durability of the system is upgraded to the optimum.
