FAQs

Is Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint waterproof and breathable?
Yes. It's a microporous, breathable coating that lets trapped moisture escape while resisting rain getting in - rainproof within about an hour in good drying conditions.

Can you use masonry paint on wood or metal?
No. It's formulated for masonry - render, roughcast, pebbledash, concrete, building blocks and facing brick - not wood or metal.

How many coats do I need, and how long does it take to dry?
Two full coats on bare/unpainted masonry (one may suffice as a refresh). Touch dry in 3-4 hours, recoatable after 3-4 hours.

Where can I buy Sandtex masonry paint?
Right here - genuine Sandtex stock. Also stocked at Wickes and Screwfix, so it's worth comparing before you buy.

How much wall does a 10L tin cover?
At Sandtex's published 12-16m² per litre, a 10 litre tin covers roughly 120-160m² per coat - plan for half that covered twice with 2 coats.
