Moisture, humidity, and precipitation are a coat of paint’s biggest enemies. Water-resistant painting formulas can help your exterior paint job last longer. Rhino Shield tells you whether you should consider the protective paint products below.
What Is Water-Resistant Paint?
As the name implies, water-resistant paint does not quickly succumb to damaging moisture. Southern states like Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi are well-known for their high humidity levels and intense wet seasons. These weather patterns wreak havoc on average paint products, but a water-resistant one might withstand the stress.
How Water-Resistant Painting Products Protect Buildings
As water-resistant painting formulas cure, they form an impenetrable coating that prevents outside moisture from penetrating the membrane. Typical formulas retain a smooth, non-porous texture at first. However, they eventually crack, allowing moisture to seep into the materials beneath.
Since paint is essential to protecting a building’s structural materials, investing in water-resistant products can benefit Southern property owners, but you should rely on professional products rather than those available at your local store. A water-resistant paint job will outlast a service using regular products.
