Local Guides for Newcastle Properties
Painting a home near the water is a different task to painting one several kilometres inland.
About these local guides
These local guides look at how conditions across Newcastle change the way a repaint should be planned. Foreshore suburbs such as Scarness, Point Vernon and Dundowran Beach deal with salt-laden air and constant sun on exposed elevations, while leafier areas like Dundowran, Craignish and Nikenbah see more shade, moisture and surface growth.
You will find guidance on washing and decontamination, primer selection for different substrates, and the coating systems that suit coastal New South Wales exteriors — written for the housing styles that actually exist around the Hunter region.
All of our guides are written for coastal New South Wales conditions — intense UV, humidity, salt-laden sea breezes off Newcastle and a storm season running from November through March. Nothing here is generic advice lifted from a colder climate.
