Step 1 : Surface Preparation
Ensure surface is thoroughly clean, dry and free from all loose dirt, chalk, grease, fungi, algae and flaking paint. This can be achieved by brushing with a wire/stiff coir brush, followed by water jetting if required. Use Dulux Aquatech Pre Treatment Coat to ensure that algae and fungi are removed from the roots.

Apply 1 coat of Dulux Aquatech Flexible Basecoat (10 Years) / Waterproof Basecoat (6 Years) without dilution as a waterproofing coat. Apply 2-3 coats of Dulux Weathershield PowerFlexx and allow a drying time of 4-6 hours between the coats. An additional coat should be applied in case of horizontal surfaces.
