Walker Bay Coastal Protection Guide

Building or repainting within marine environments requires specialized precautions to prevent dampness, efflorescence, and peeling paint caused by heavy moisture and salt spray.

Our Professional Recommendations:

  • Alkali-Resistant Primers: Always seal fresh cement or plaster with a high-grade alkali plaster primer to block moisture migration.
  • Elastomeric Exterior Shields: Use high-stretch acrylic formulas like Envirolite Fibreflex or Plascon Micatex that expand and contract with temperature shifts without cracking.
  • Salt Wash Down: Ensure exterior walls are thoroughly washed down to remove salt deposits before applying any new coat of paint.
