Term: exterior paints

Exterior paints are specially formulated coatings designed for application on the outside surfaces of buildings and structures. These paints are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions such as UV radiation, rain, wind, temperature fluctuations, and pollutants. Exterior paints typically contain additives that provide durability, weather resistance, mildew and mould protection, and colour retention over time. They are commonly used on surfaces like timber, brick, concrete, metal, and weatherboard, and are available in various finishes such as matte, satin, and gloss. In Australia, exterior paints must also comply with local standards for performance and environmental safety, including low-VOC (volatile organic compounds) formulations.
