Why choose Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint?

Sandtex® Microseal® Smooth Masonry Paint is an excellent option for exterior surfaces due to its microporous properties that allow the surface to breathe while protecting it against water penetration. Ideal for use on most dry exterior surfaces, it offers a smooth finish and superior resistance to peeling and flaking.

This advanced coating provides long-term protection against mould and algae growth and resists dirt, maintaining its aesthetic appeal. With a quick rainproof time of just one hour and a trusted durability of 15 years, Sandtex ensures your home looks better, for longer.

Ivory Stone

Keep things classic with neutrals: For a timeless and sophisticated look, classic neutrals are always a safe bet. Our shades Ivory Stone and Sandblast provide a clean, elegant appearance that will blend seamlessly with any style of home and its surrounds. Ivory stone is a lovely warm soft cream with a touch of grey and Sandblast is a soft and subtle grey-brown. We recommend these paired with a crisp white or an eye-catching black trim for a polished look.

Stay on-trend with earth tones: For a natural and harmonious look, earthy shades work wonders and go well with almost any backdrop. Colours like Olive and Terracotta are inspired by mother nature and will blend beautifully with your surroundings. Olive is a gorgeous mid-toned sage green and Terracotta is a vibrant burnt red shade that’s reminiscent of sun-dried clay.

Brick Red

Go bold and beautiful with a vibrant colour: If you’re feeling adventurous, why not go bold? Sandtex Smooth Masonry Paint comes in a variety of vibrant shades that can make your home really pop. Consider rich, deep shades like Brick Red—a dark red-brown terracotta—or Cotswold Cream—a vibrant cream with just the right amount of yellow—to create a striking statement. Bold colours will help highlight architectural features and add a touch of personality to your home. Complement these vibrant choices with neutral accents to ensure the overall look is balanced.

Bring a modern look to your home with monochromes: Monochromatic colour schemes are becoming increasingly popular for those who want a contemporary look for their homes. Shades of grey, like our Slate Grey or Gravel are great for creating a sleek facade. These shades are incredibly versatile and work well with a wide range of trim colours. We especially love grey when paired with a crisp white trim for a chic appearance, or a darker grey for a subtle yet beautiful effect.

Morning Sky

Create your own coastal oasis with sea-inspired shades: Bring the beach to you with light and airy colours that are reminiscent of a day spent at the seaside or out on the water. A soft pastel blue like Morning Sky calls to mind a cloudless sky on a sunny day, and our shade Vermont Grey is the colour of deep ocean waters and beach pebbles. These shades are perfect for homes located near the water or for anyone looking to create a serene and relaxing environment. Pair these with a white or sandy beige trim to enhance the look, and finish with a bright red door for a quintessential East Coast American look.
