Universal Paints Krugersdorp was proud to supply the exterior coating system for this striking residential transformation in Nordheuwel, expertly executed by BH & Sons Projects. From carefully prepared surfaces to a bold, modern finish, this home now stands out with clean lines, strong colour contrast, and long-lasting protection built to withstand South African conditions.
A Full System Approach for Superior Results
Achieving a durable, high-quality finish starts long before the final coat of paint. For this project, BH & Sons Projects used a complete Universal Paints exterior coating system — ensuring proper surface preparation, adhesion, and long-term performance.
Exterior Coating System: Surface Preparation & Priming
- Plaster Fix: A water-based bonding aid designed to help sand/cement and gypsum plaster adhere to smooth surfaces. It improves plaster bonding and can also bond to sound water-based painted surfaces.
- Bonding Liquid: A penetrating and stabilising liquid for interior and exterior use on powdery, friable, or porous surfaces. Ideal for cement plaster, concrete, fibre cement, gypsum plaster, and weathered substrates like chalked paint or lime wash. Provides excellent binding and adhesion.
- Pigmented Plaster Primer: A classical solvent-based primer for cement plaster, concrete, gypsum plaster, Rhinolite, and fibre cement. It works as both a sealer and primer, offering excellent adhesion, high hiding power, and strong alkali resistance. Suitable for overcoating with a wide range of Universal water- and solvent-based paints.
- Universal Undercoat: A medium oil alkyd solvent-based undercoat for interior and exterior use. Applied as an intermediate layer to improve adhesion, hiding power, and durability before finishing with Universal topcoats.
Exterior Coating System: High-Performance Topcoats
With the surfaces properly prepared, premium topcoats were applied to deliver both durability and visual impact:
- Roof Acrylic in Black & Slate Grey: This high-performance exterior coating delivers reliable protection against harsh weather conditions while providing a bold, contemporary roof finish. With excellent UV resistance and durability, it is ideal for the fluctuating South African climate.
- Allcote in Brilliant White: For the walls and trim, Allcote offers a crisp, timeless finish that enhances the home’s architectural details. Known for its excellent coverage, durability, and smooth application, it creates a clean contrast against the darker roof tones.
Designed for South African Conditions
From intense UV exposure to seasonal rain and temperature fluctuations, exterior coatings in South Africa need to perform under pressure. By using a complete, compatible system — from surface preparation to finishing coats — this project ensures long-term protection against the elements, reducing maintenance and preserving the home’s appearance.
Quality Products. Professional Application. Stunning Results.
The combination of Universal Paints’ trusted coating system and the professional workmanship of BH & Sons Projects has resulted in an exterior that delivers on both performance and style.
This Nordheuwel home is not only visually striking, but also protected by a system designed to last — maintaining its bold finish and structural integrity for years to come.
