Long-Lasting Performance

This advanced formula is highly resistant to cracking, peeling, and blistering, even in harsh weather conditions. Whether you're battling strong winds, driving rain, or scorching summer sun, Premflex will keep your exterior looking its best for up to 15 years.
- Showerproof in 30 Minutes - Unlike some brick and stone paints, sudden downpours are no match for Premflex! The special water-shedding properties ensure it's showerproof in just 30 minutes after application. This rapid drying time minimises the risk of rain damage during the painting process, allowing you to get the job done with confidence, even if the forecast is uncertain.

- Heavy-Duty Wipeable Satin Finish - This unique finish combines elegance with practicality. The subtle sheen adds a touch of sophistication to your exterior, while the wipeable properties make maintenance a breeze.

The satin finish offers a gentle sheen that adds depth and dimension to your masonry, without appearing overly glossy.
Advanced Technology
Pentura Premflex Smooth brickwork paint leverages cutting-edge technology to provide superior performance and long-lasting results.
- Acrylic Based - At the core of Premflex lies a foundation of high-quality acrylic resins. These resins offer exceptional durability and flexibility, ensuring your paint can withstand the constant movement of your walls caused by thermal expansion and contraction. This translates to a crack-resistant finish that maintains its integrity for a good length of time.
- UV and Fade Resistant - The harsh British sun can wreak havoc on exterior paint, causing chalking and colour loss. Premflex specialist paint for stone and brick combats these effects with advanced UV filters. These filters act as a shield, absorbing harmful ultraviolet rays and preventing them from damaging the paint's molecular structure. The result? Vibrant colours that stay bright and beautiful, season after season.
Excellent Colour Range
We offer a comprehensive range of masonry paint colours for you to browse (bear in mind that colours may appear different due to varying screen settings on your device*!), so feel free to check the RAL and British Standard colour chart to select a colour for your project.
*For example, the colour light red might seem much darker when it's on your walls than it does in the colour charts. We recommend testing colours before painting your walls and buying a more suitable colour if necessary.

Giving your home's exterior walls a fresh coat of paint is a fantastic way to boost its kerb appeal and add value to your property. But before you grab your brush and start slapping on paint, there's some essential preparation work to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish. This guide will walk you through the process of restoring and painting your external walls, from prepping the surface to achieving a professional-looking final coat.
Clean the Surface
The first step is to thoroughly clean your walls. Use a pressure washer or stiff brush with warm soapy water to remove dirt, grime, cobwebs, and any loose debris. Pay particular attention to areas with mould, mildew, or algae growth.
Address Underlying Issues
Inspect your walls for any damage that needs to be addressed before painting. This could include:
- Renovating Eroded Bricks - Over time, bricks can become weathered and eroded. If this is the case, consider using a suitable brick filler to restore the damaged areas and create a smooth surface.
- Patch Frost Damaged Areas - Frost can cause cracks and spalling on your exterior walls. Patch these areas with a suitable filler to prevent further damage and create a level surface for painting.
Dealing with Pre-Painted Surfaces
If you're painting over a previously painted surface, check the condition of the paint. If it's peeling, flaking, or blistering, you'll need to remove it using a scraper or sander. If the existing brick coating is in good condition, a light sanding to create a good key for the new coat of paint may be sufficient.
Choosing the Right Paint
- Masonry Paint - For exterior walls, always use a good quality outdoor paint for concrete, brick, stone and other exterior surfaces. These paints are formulated to withstand the elements and provide a durable, dirt-resistant finish. That's why Pentura Premflex is the ideal choice!
- Colour Selection - With a wide variety of shades available, choose a colour that complements your property's style and surroundings. Consider factors like the natural light and neighbouring houses to ensure a cohesive look.
Painting Your Walls
- Apply a Test Coat - Before committing to a full coat, apply a test area of paint in an inconspicuous spot. This allows you to assess the colour and ensure the paint adheres properly to the surface.
- Protect Surrounding Areas - Use dust sheets or masking tape to protect windows, doors, tiles, and any other surfaces you don't want paint on.
- Apply the First Coat - Once the surface is prepped and protected, start painting! Use a brush for detailed areas like around windows and doors, and a roller for larger expanses of wall. Apply the paint evenly, avoiding overspreading and following the manufacturer's instructions for drying times between coats.
- Second Coat - Once the first coat is completely dry, apply a second coat of brick paint for a richer colour and optimal coverage.
- Touch-Ups and Final Touches - Once the second coat is dry, address any visible brush marks or imperfections with a light touch-up using a small brush. Remove masking tape and dust sheets carefully.
Additional Tips
- Weather Conditions - Avoid painting in direct sunlight or very windy conditions. Ideally, choose a cool, dry day for optimal paint application and drying.
- Frost Damage - Ensure any frost-damaged areas are fully repaired and dry before painting. Painting over damp surfaces can trap moisture and lead to peeling later.
- Unsightly Stains - If there are stubborn stains on your walls, you may need to use a specialised stain remover before painting.
By following these steps and using high-quality materials, you can restore and repaint your exterior walls, giving your home a fresh, vibrant look that will last for years to come. Remember, if you're unsure about any aspect of the process, it's always best to consult a professional decorator for advice.
