We often ignore doing anything special for our boundary walls. We simply paint boundary walls with plain gray or white colors. Boundary walls are the first impression of our building, and we must plan for a beautiful boundary wall with as much planning as we go for the interiors.

Apart from being the first impression on our buildings, boundary walls have the important duty of protecting our buildings. Also, being constantly exposed to the outer elements like pollution and harsh weather, the quality of materials that we use to paint our boundary walls must be the best and top-notch. Especially if you are constructing a villa or an office in a blingy city like Dubai, you must give minute attention to detail to your boundary walls.

Choosing the right tools

Each application requires a special type of tool good finishing and perfect paint job of a boundary wall will be highly dependent upon the tools you use.

Give your boundary walls prep

Before you begin painting your exterior boundary walls, give them pre-prep. Start by removing old paint, using water you wet your walls and slowly begin to scrape old paint using specific tools. Remember to collect the scraped paint with a vacuum cleaner and then dispose of it according to environmental norms. After you scrape the paint, inspect your wall for cracks and dents. As you identify cracks and dents in your wall, fill them up with white cement and putty. After the putty application, finish the portions that are applied with putty. You will have to strictly follow these steps no matter which type of paint you choose. Whether you choose to spray-paint or airless spray-painting, following the above-illustrated steps will give you a finished look to your walls. Marvel BMT has a large collection of airless paint sprayers in Dubai.

After you finish with putty, apply a base coat also called primer to your walls. And then, as this base coat finally dries up, proceed with applying your main paint. You can apply one or two coats of your main paint.

Maintenance

A good and long-lasting paint job is achieved by periodic maintenance. Every year, inspect your walls for any damage caused by mold and other natural elements. If you find mold growing on your walls, immediately scrape it off, a touch-up with paint. If you find any patches and blisters, touch these portions too. Wash any stains caused by dirt, bird droppings, and any other stains.
