House painting
Exterior textures for house elevations in the Gwalior region
Why textures work outside
Textured finishes are thicker than paint, hide small plaster defects, and give depth that flat paint cannot. In the Gwalior region, where homes face strong sun and dust, a stone-like texture also hides dirt better than smooth light paint.
Planning the elevation
- Use texture on 20 to 40 percent of the facade, not everywhere
- Highlight pillars, the parapet band or the entrance
- Pick a texture shade that sits close to the main wall colour
- Ask for a sample panel on the wall before the full job
Preparation and care
Repair cracks and seepage first, prime as specified, and use applicators experienced with the product. Clean the facade occasionally with water to remove dust build-up.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to ask your painter before work starts
- Which walls need scraping, primer or putty, and which do not?
- How many coats of each product are included in the price?
- Who supplies material, and will you show me the sealed tins and shade codes?
- How will furniture, floors and fittings be protected?
- How many days will the job take, and how long between coats?
