Typical problems that are common when decorating your house include:

• Existing paint coatings in poor condition
• Cracks in the underlying coatings or substrate
• Damaged surfaces in need of repair
• Algae growth and fungal growth
• Salt efflorescence
• Failure of conventional paints to adhere properly to the surface

An important consideration when deciding upon what materials to use is the impact that they have on our environment, in addition to the aesthetic appearance and colour choice.
