The right product depends on the surface you’re working with (roof, interior wall, exterior cladding, or concrete) and its current condition. Shieldcoat’s range is organised by surface type roof coatings, interior coatings, exterior coatings, and concrete coatings, with specific primers, sealers, and topcoats suited to each. If you’re unsure, our team can talk through your project and recommend the right system.
In most cases, yes, especially if the surface is bare, previously coated, stained, rusted, or porous. A suitable primer or sealer improves adhesion, blocks stains or rust from coming through, and helps the topcoat perform as intended. Shieldcoat has a wide range of surface specific primers to suit all needs.
For surfaces exposed to sun, rain, and temperature changes: roofs, exterior walls, driveways, and concrete, durability, UV resistance, and colour-fade performance matter most. Shieldcoat’s exterior and roof coatings are formulated for New Zealand’s weather conditions and are backed by warranties.
Many Shieldcoat products can be applied with standard tools like a brush, roller, or sprayer, but for systems with a performance guarantee, such as roof and concrete coatings, Shieldcoat recommends application by an approved applicator to ensure correct application and warranty cover.
If you’re unsure of the cause of an issue, such as rust, moss, cracking, or staining, it’s best to get in touch with Shieldcoat or an approved applicator for advice. They can help identify the issue and recommend the right preparation steps and products for a lasting result.
