Wattyl Solagard Low Sheen
Low-sheen exterior acrylic coating — masonry and render facades
System Description
Wattyl Solagard Low Sheen is the low-sheen finish variant of the Solagard exterior acrylic range — one of Australia's most established exterior coating systems for masonry and rendered facades. Low-sheen finish is the most commonly specified exterior sheen level for residential and Class 2 strata facade repainting, providing a flat to low-reflective surface that minimises the appearance of substrate imperfections. Solagard incorporates advanced UV stabilisers formulated for Australian conditions and anti-fungal additives for humid and shaded exposures. Apply as a two-coat system over a compatible Wattyl exterior primer or alkali-resistant primer on cement render. Confirm current product technical data sheet, coverage, DFT, and primer specification with Wattyl technical before specifying.
Technical Properties
- Low-sheen exterior acrylic topcoat — most commonly specified finish level for residential and strata facade repainting
- Advanced UV stabilisers formulated for Australian high-UV and coastal conditions
- Anti-fungal additives — suitable for humid, shaded, and south-facing facade exposures
Limitations
- Alkali-resistant primer mandatory on new or unpainted cement render — confirm primer with Wattyl
- Not a crack-bridging coating — specify elastomeric system for facades with active cracking
- Low-sheen finish may show uneven substrate more readily than higher-build coatings on rough surfaces
