Coverage varies on finish
Lumino Coatings are based on hydrophobic technology which produces highly flexible, self-cleaning, UV resistant and long lasting finishes. Hydrophobic nanoparticles are incorporated into the body of the coating producing a hydrophobic surface which reduces soiling, dirt-pick-up, mold/ mildew growth and chalking while considerably improving colour retention.
- Hydrophobic
- Self Cleaning
- Resistant to UV Exposure
- Resistant to soiling and chalkiness
- Enhanced crack resistance
- Reduction in maintenance costs
- Vapour Permeable
- Provides outstanding colour retention
- Available with any of our Durex® Architetural Coatings
Lumino Coatings provide excellent protection against soiling due to increased atmospheric pollution and continuous exposure to high traffic areas. Lumino hydrophobic technology is available in any of the Durex® Architectural Coatings which are part of any Durex® EIF System, Direct Applied Stucco System or any of the Durex® Protective Wall Coatings. Highly recommended for lighter colours where signs of soiling and dirt pick-up are particularly evident.
