*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

When buying facade paints, you should not be guided only by the price. The right choice depends on how long the coating will last on the surface and how reliably it will protect against moisture and dampness. A quality product will retain color for a long time and will not fade in spots. Here is a review of the 11 best exterior paints, compiled after analyzing their characteristics and studying reviews. Perhaps in this material you will be able to choose the best product for yourself in terms of price and quality.

How to choose facade paint

First, let’s note how to choose a facade paint so that it not only decorates the exterior of the house, but also stays on the surface for a long time. When buying, pay attention to:

1. Base type. The paint can be made on a different basis, which affects the service life and adhesion to the surface. Acrylic compositions fit well on wood and are mechanically stable. Silicone perfectly protect against moisture and reliably adhere to the facade, but are prone to fading. Latex vapor-permeable (“breathe”) and suitable for any material, but too easily soiled. Vinyl is considered versatile and relatively affordable, but less resistant to impact. Silicate compounds are distinguished by increased adhesion and do not allow the fungus to develop, but they do not perform well on a wooden base.

2. hiding power. With the help of products from one manufacturer, you can paint over 7 m² in two layers with one liter. Paint from other companies allows you to paint with the same amount up to 14 m². This affects the consumption and, accordingly, the cost spent when updating the facade.

3. Permitted methods of application. The paint can be applied with a brush, roller or spray. This is indicated on the packaging and determines how much time it will take to process the facade.

4. Drying time. Drying time varies from 1 to 24 hours. This affects when other work on the façade can be continued. Keep this in mind if the weather forecast is bad, otherwise the surface will not have time to dry and the result will deteriorate.

5. Permissible types of surface materials. Some types of paints are universal, others can only be applied to inorganic surfaces or dense materials. Read about it on the label.

6. Color they are selected based on the design idea (in combination with the roof, playing in contrast, etc.). You can be guided by personal preferences or consult with others, but keep in mind that in addition to the shade of the paint, there is also the degree of gloss of the surface. Depending on this, the coating may look glossy, semi-gloss, semi-matte and matte.

Rating of the best facade paints

Now that you know the basic criteria for choosing a facade paint, let’s move on to the best specific products. The review contains the pros and cons of each product, and also takes into account the feedback from craftsmen and customers.

DULUX BINDO FACADE

Rating: 4.9

In the first place is a product from the German brand Dulux. Facade paint is intended for application on concrete blocks, plastered surfaces, putty, slate and brick. A primer is required first. Masters like the product in reviews because the interlayer drying time is 2 hours, and the paint dries completely after 4 hours. This allows you to complete all painting work on the facade in one day. Bindo Facade is a deep matt paint available in white or transparent. The tool can even process the basement floors. The substance not only protects against the formation of mold and algae, but also prevents the accumulation of salt from water on its surface.

Our experts considered the paint to be the best for the facade due to its long service life. When properly applied, it will last up to 10 years. This is possible due to high adhesion and vapor permeability, which allows you to remove moisture from the walls and maintain an integral top layer. The substance is also quite elastic and not prone to cracking even with a slight shrinkage of the structure.

LUXENS FACADE

Rating: 4.8

The second place is assigned to the product from the Luxens brand. This trademark is owned by Leroy Merlin. The paint has an acrylic base and creates a matte effect. The product is resistant to precipitation in the form of rain, snow and even hail. Masters in the reviews like the product due to its vapor-permeable properties. If the wooden facade in some places is made of boards that have not yet dried, then it can still be painted – excess moisture will come out by itself through an elastic acrylic film. The paint is also not afraid of temperature changes, therefore it is suitable for buildings located in cold regions. The consistency of the substance is similar to sour cream, so it is well taken with a roller and quickly applied. Due to the density, streaks are not formed.

We consider it the best for the facade in terms of resistance to fading. Other paints may turn yellow or change color after two years of use, but this product will last up to 7 years of use and will not fade. If your house is in the sun or is often blown with wind and rain on a hill, then pay attention to this paint.

STICK GRILLER ULTRA MATT

Rating: 4.7

This is a polyacrylate paint from a Finnish brand that has a reputation for being a very reliable manufacturer. The tool is intended for processing wooden facades from all types of wood. It is suitable for plywood boards and other non-laminated surfaces. As the name implies, the substance has a very deep matte effect. At the same time, the paint is distinguished by moisture resistance and does not retain water on itself. Buyers note that the product does not have an unpleasant odor, so working on a spacious facade all day long will not turn your head. Users in the reviews like that the manufacturer allows the pigment to be applied to facades that have already been painted. This eliminates the tedious work of removing the previous layer.

This paint is the leader in quality and hiding power. It is so dense that for a good result it is sometimes enough to apply one layer (with a properly primed surface that does not have foreign inclusions). This allows you to get by with less paint and the applied layer dries faster.

TEX FACADE ALL-SEASON PROFI

Rating: 4.6

This product is designed for use on facades made of fiber cement boards, cement plaster, ceramic blocks. Paint is produced in metal containers of 9 liters. Initially, the substance is only in white, but it can be tinted to any shade. To do this, the Tex catalog offers a large selection of bases A and D. The goods can be stored in a bucket for up to 5 years, so you can buy it at a bargain price and leave it until repair, even if it is not planned this year. The masters in the reviews like the paint drying time of 1-2 hours, which allows you to do all the work on the facade during one sunny day and not worry that it will rain or wind with dust in the evening.

This paint is recognized by us as the best for the facade due to the possibility of application at low temperatures. The name “All-weather” was not chosen by chance – it is permissible to paint the facade at temperatures up to -15 degrees. Even the product fits well despite the humidity of the air above 90%. Such indicators are unique and allow you to update the facade in extreme conditions (if the deadline for the completion of the object is “burning”, the house was damaged by a fire in winter, etc.).

DUFA PREMIUM WOODFLEX

Rating: 4.5

Further in the review, facade paint from Dufa. The product is intended for painting wooden materials (boards, beams, plates). The product is produced in containers of 2.5 and 9 liters, which is convenient depending on the upcoming scope of work. The composition of the paint includes special components that provide high elasticity of the coating after drying. This is practical for wooden facades that are prone to drying out or deformation of the plane from exposure to sunlight. Surfaces can be painted with a brush, spray or roller. The covering power is 14 m² per liter, which is what buyers like in the reviews.

According to the editors of the magazine, the paint is the best for frequent washing. If your house is located near factories or a highway, which is why gray plaque quickly accumulates on the facade, then pay attention to this product. The agent is accompanied by a special certificate DIN EN 53778, which allows regular washing of the coating with the use of chemicals. The pigment does not fade and is protected from moisture.

STICK RILLA QUICK POWER

Rating: 4.4

This product is designed for painting outdoor wood surfaces (boards, plank walls and other types of facades). The paint is acrylic based but contains oil. This provides a viscous consistency that spreads well over the surface, forming a single layer without drips. The masters in the reviews share that it is almost impossible to make a marriage on the facade when using this paint. Another advantage of the substance is the absence of an unpleasant odor. For painting, you can use a spray gun or a brush. The second layer is allowed to be done after 2-4 hours, depending on the ambient temperature.

Our experts recognized the paint as the best in terms of service life. After painting and drying on the facade, the coating will be able to maintain its properties for a record 20 years. This indicator is not available from other manufacturers. If you want to paint the facade and not return to this work for the next few decades, then it is definitely worth spending money on this product.

DUFA FAÇADE COLOUR

Rating: 4.4

Fassadenfarbe paint is designed for painting facades made of plasters and bricks. The base is white with a matte finish. The dispersion composition resembles sour cream in density and does not drip from a roller or brush. The goods are sold in a bucket of 10 liters or a plastic container of 2.5 liters. The tool is equipped with special additives that increase protection against moisture and abrasion. Consumption in two layers is 100 g per 1 m². Judging by the reviews, buyers like the paint with a uniform consistency. It does not need to be stirred before use, there are no lumps in the bucket that can clog the spray gun or dry out with a tubercle on the facade. The container opens and you can immediately start working. The surface dries after 2-3 hours, so the transformation of the facade can be completed in one day off.

Our experts considered the paint to be the best due to the uniform distribution. Although it is quite thick, and when painting with a roller, a thicker layer may lie somewhere, after drying this is not visible. The substance itself is distributed over the surface of the facade and creates a uniform color without dark and light spots, as well as sagging.

STICK RILLA FACADE SILICON

Rating: 4.3

And here is another product from a Finnish manufacturer – acrylic paint for plinths and facades. The product is suitable for processing the exterior walls of residential, industrial and commercial premises. It can be applied to plaster, fiber cement boards, concrete blocks. Coloring is permissible with a roller, brush and spray gun. Buyers in the reviews like that if there are metal elements on the facade (fasteners, anchors, brackets), then the paint protects them from corrosion. The still dried outer layer does not depart from the main part. At the same time, the coating “breathes”, but does not let rain water through. Biocidal components have been added to the paint formula, so there will be no mold and fungus on the facade.

According to our experts, this product is the best for those who appreciate the cleanliness of the facade. The silicone added to the composition contributes to the formation of an elastic and smooth surface, which is so slippery that dirt cannot linger on it. This contributes to the accelerated removal of water after rain and provides an attractive appearance of the facade at any time of the year.

CAPAROL AMPHISILAN-PLUS

Rating: 4.2

Facade paint is available in containers of 2.5 and 10 liters. It combines the advantages of classic silicate products and water-dispersion paints. The coating is breathable and water repellent. If the facade is exposed to direct sunlight, the outer layer does not become more plastic, reducing the mechanical strength of the surface. But there is almost no tension inside the coating, so the paint does not shrink over time. Masters in the reviews like the product for its suitability for exterior plaster with a high lime content. Paints from other companies are not designed for such a surface and are quickly peeled off.

This product is part of a special product group of a German manufacturer and implements the Caparol Clean Concept. The technology of “clean facades” is designed to maintain maximum cleanliness in a natural way without human intervention. To do this, reinforced antibacterial components Amphisilan-Plus have been added to the paint composition, which eliminate black plaque.

VGT VDAK 1180 SUPERWHITE

Rating: 4.1

This is a product from a domestic manufacturer. The pigment is diluted in an acrylic base, which provides a durable surface and color stability. The product is available in two bases. “A” is designed for tinting in pastel colors or can be used as an independent layer. The base “C” is not used as a separate coating and is intended only for obtaining saturated tones. The goods are sold in containers of 3, 7 and 15 kg. Taking into account the hiding power, the price of one painted square meter is 15 rubles. Buyers note in the reviews the absence of lumps with proper density, as well as a neutral smell that does not interfere with long-term work.

We included the paint in the review of the best ones due to the increased whiteness of the “A” base, which can be used immediately on the facade. The advantage of the extra white pigment is highlighted in the Superwhite product name. The paint does not lose this effect even when diluted with water. If you need a dazzling white wall outside the building, then pay attention to this product.

LAKRA FACADE

Rating: 4.0

Our review is completed by paint from the manufacturer Lakra. The domestic product is manufactured according to German technology, which ensures color stability and protection against moisture penetration. It consists of acrylic latex supplemented with titanium dioxide, chalk, water and ethylene glycol. There are functional additives that prevent the formation of air bubbles and premature solidification. The coloring matter is intended for application on mineral substrates with intensive use. The agent is well absorbed into brick, concrete and other porous materials. Buyers are satisfied in the reviews with an interlayer drying time of 1 hour.

This paint is distinguished by convenient packaging of 3, 6, 14 and 40 kg. This makes it easier to purchase the product in a suitable volume, based on future work, and deliver it to the place of use. Such a product is often requested by contractors and repairmen who apply paint in large quantities on the facades of administrative and commercial buildings.
