The exterior wall of your house braves the weather. Literally. Due to the often turbulent climate in the Netherlands, your exterior wall has to endure a lot of bad weather, such as rain, frost and temperature fluctuations. It is therefore important to regularly maintain and paint your exterior walls. A coat of paint is all it takes to make your exterior wall shine again. It doesn't matter what kind of house you live in. Whether you live in a hut in the country, an ordinary terraced house or a detached villa, you should paint the outside walls about every 5 to 10 years. The exterior walls protect your palace from all the weather conditions mentioned earlier. If you do not have your exterior wall painted, you can suffer from moisture, with all its miserable consequences. Leaks and / or mold are lurking. And nobody wants that, right? 

Exterior wall painting

Before the painter can start painting the outside wall, it must of course be thoroughly cleaned. On a greasy and / or dirty exterior wall, it is impossible to apply a nice, opaque paint layer. After the outside wall has been cleaned, the primer/prepare coat can be applied. When this has dried well, it is possible to paint it with the color of your choice. It does not matter whether you use a dark or light paint. When you are going to paint the outside wall, it is more important to pay attention to whether the color matches the look you want to achieve and whether it protects sufficiently. There are roughly 3 ways to paint the exterior wall. Below you'll find the three techniques, along with their benefits.
