Exterior painting
The exterior is the part of the building everyone sees and the part weather attacks first. We paint complete facades, including crack repair and primer, and plan scaffolding or suspended platforms as part of the work, not as an afterthought.
What is included
- Facade inspection, crack filling and surface repair
- Cleaning and removal of loose or flaking material
- Exterior primer and two coats of weather-resistant emulsion
- Exterior texture where the design calls for it
- Painting of parapets, balconies, boundary walls and service areas
- Scaffolding or suspended platform access, with harness and safety checks
Materials and systems
- Exterior emulsions across economy to long-life tiers from the major paint brands
- Elastomeric and dust-resistant coatings where specified
- Exterior textures for feature bands and podium levels
Products are fixed by the project specification. We apply the system the architect, owner or builder selects and advise where a different product would last longer.
How we carry it out
- 01
Survey the facade
Elevations are measured and photographed, and cracks and damp areas are marked up.
- 02
Plan access
The access method is chosen for each elevation and its cost is shown in the quotation.
- 03
Repair and prime
Cracks are opened, filled and primed so the paint system has a sound base.
- 04
Coat
Coats are applied elevation by elevation, working around weather.
- 05
Inspect and hand over
Each elevation is inspected from the platform and from the ground before access is removed.
Exterior painting: common questions
- When is the best time to paint a building's exterior in Bengaluru?
- The dry months, typically November to February. Exterior coats need dry walls and dry weather to cure properly, so work is paused during the monsoon.
- How do you reach the upper floors of a tall building?
- With tubular scaffolding or suspended working platforms, and a full-body harness for every worker at height. The access method is chosen for each elevation and its cost is shown in the quotation.
- What does exterior painting include?
- Inspection of the facade, crack filling and surface repair, cleaning, one coat of exterior primer and two coats of weather-resistant emulsion, plus exterior texture where the design calls for it.
- How long does exterior paint last?
- It depends on the product. Manufacturer performance warranties on exterior emulsions range from a few years on economy products to more than ten years on top-tier systems, provided the full system with primer is applied on a sound surface.
