- Resistant to moss, mould, and algae
- Excellent coverage
- Easy to apply
- Not suitable for interior use
Where can I use Relius Silcosan F1?
Relius Silcosan F1 is ideal for facades prone to quick dirt accumulation. Its self-cleaning properties even work in areas not exposed to rainwater. The paint boasts up to 10 years of durability, a unique feature for exterior wall paint.
Does Relius Silcosan F1 resist moss, mould, and algae?
Yes, one of its main advantages is its ability to prevent moss, mould, and algae from taking hold. The Silcosan F1 formula repels these organisms instead of nourishing them, which is common with cheaper alternatives. Facades painted with Silcosan F1 will stay clean, avoiding the frequent green discolouration seen on shaded walls.
How many coats of Relius Silcosan F1 do I need?
Relius Silcosan F1 requires 1 to 2 coats, depending on the surface and situation. Below, we describe the recommended system for various substrates.
Can Silcosan F1 be applied over existing paint?
Yes, Relius F1 can be applied over old paint layers, but a primer must be used first to ensure proper adhesion.
What is silicate wall paint?
Silicate wall paint is based on silicates, which solidify the facade. Instead of sitting on top of the surface, the paint bonds with it, preventing peeling and providing a significantly longer lifespan compared to traditional paints. Silicosan F1 products combine colloidal silica and water glass, offering unique properties and durability.
What is the coverage per m² for this product?
Relius Silcosan F1 covers approximately 180ml per m². A 12.5-litre bucket will cover roughly 120 m², making it a more economical choice compared to standard wall paints.
What surfaces is this product suitable for?
This paint is compatible with several surfaces. For absorbent substrates, a primer should be applied first. Suitable surfaces include concrete, plasterwork, plasterboard, brick, Renovlies wallpaper, glass fibre wallpaper, masonry, interior walls, and exterior facades.
What colours is this product available in?
We can mix any colour using our colour-mixing system. Choose from a wide range of RAL colours, such as RAL 9010, RAL 7016, or explore popular brands like Flexa, Histor, and Farrow and Ball. Use our colour selector to pick your desired shade or contact us for assistance.
Pre-treatment
Before starting your project, ensure the surface is clean by using a product like St Marc Degreaser. Clean surfaces provide optimal adhesion, whether you’re working with concrete, stone, wood, or wallpaper.
Do I need a primer?
To determine whether a primer is needed, press a wet sponge against the wall. If the wall absorbs the water, apply a primer first. If the wall does not absorb water, no primer is required. Check out our blog on how to apply primer for more tips.
Which brush should I use for wall paint?
A carefully chosen brush ensures smooth and even application. We recommend the VP synthetic all-round brush, which combines pig bristles and high-quality synthetic fibres for the best results.
Which paint roller should I use?
For a smooth finish without lint-related issues, use the right roller. We suggest the Toptex wall paint roller as it consistently delivers exceptional results. Discover more about choosing the right roller here.
