How to Prepare Walls for Painting in Strand

Wall preparation in Strand's salt air environment requires particular attention to salt deposits and paint adhesion on older beachfront properties. High-pressure wash all exterior surfaces to remove salt deposits - more important in Strand than in inland suburbs. Apply fungicidal treatment where biological growth is present. Assess paint adhesion and remove all that has failed - older beachfront homes often have failed paint layers from salt air degradation. Fill cracks with flexible filler. Apply appropriate primer. For beachfront-facing surfaces, apply penetrating sealer before primer. See our full Strand guide.

Strand Painters never skips preparation. Every surface cleaned, sealed and primed before topcoat.
