Watco Weatherguard
Litres required: 0.00L
Based on 4.0 m² per litre- Lightwork of heavy-duty repairs
- Structural strength solutions
Watco Weatherguard is a White elastomeric exterior wall coating that combines a decorative finish with flexible weather protection. Its water based acrylic polymer formulation allows normal surface movement while helping protect sound masonry from exposure to changing weather.
Use it on suitable brick, concrete, stone, render and compatible prepared painted surfaces where a breathable matt or low-sheen finish is wanted. The coating is applied by brush or roller and is designed to remain flexible as the substrate expands and contracts. It also provides an easier-to-clean surface than untreated porous masonry. The manufacturer describes long-term weathering performance, but preparation, exposure and correct application remain central to the result.
- Flexible acrylic protection for exterior masonry.
- White matt to low-sheen finish, depending on the substrate.
- Breathable coating applied by brush or roller.
Surface Preparation
Remove loose material, contamination and defective paint. Treat mould, moss and other growth with a suitable product and follow its cleaning instructions. Abrade hard glossy retained paint to provide a key. Wash where required, rinse thoroughly and allow the surface to dry. Repair minor defects using a suitable exterior filler or sand and cement repair.

|---|---|
| Composition | Single pack, water based elastomeric acrylic |
| Use | Exterior |
| Recommended coats | 2, following the current product specification |
| Application temperature | Use 10°C or above, following the product-page minimum |

Coverage
Approximately 40m² per 10L per coat (4m²/L). Allow material for two coats, giving a nominal finished area of about 20m² per container before allowances for the surface condition.
Directions for Use
- Blend in any thin liquid on the surface as directed; the manufacturer advises blending rather than vigorous stirring.
- Apply with a brush or suitable pile roller in one direction at the specified rate.
- Allow the first coat to dry, then apply the second in the opposite direction.
- Touch drying and overcoating guidance is around four to six hours at 20°C. Cooler temperatures or damp, humid conditions extend drying.
Limitations
Do not apply in damp or humid weather or when rain is forecast within twenty-four hours. Make sure the substrate is dry and compatible before coating. The wood instructions exclude door and window frames and require complete removal of old paint from previously painted wood; do not treat the masonry guidance as universal timber approval. Keep food away during application and cure and protect stored material from freezing.
