Paints for External Wall Surfaces - Exterior Emulsion Paints

How can we protect our external masonry walls?

Painting 
Painting not only decorates your walls, it also protects it from the elements. Paints prevent fungal and algal formation on bricks and plaster. Certain paints also have properties such as dust pickup reduction, heat reflection, crack bridging abilities etc. A whole spectrum of colours is available, giving you unlimited choice.

Cladding
Cladding walls with stone or tiles. It is more expensive than paints, but gives great aesthetics. Stone and tiles used for cladding also require protection and periodic maintenance. A number of chemicals and coatings are available for this purpose.

Out of the above methods, paint is the popular and economical choice. Quality paints when used in the right shade and colour combination give excellent results and outstanding aesthetics.

Things to consider when choosing paints for your external walls
1. Ensure the surface to be painted is completely finished and free from dirt, grease and organic growth. A bio-wash such as bleaching powder dissolved in water can be used to clean organic growth such as algae and fungi.
2. To make sure no further organic growth is possible, a cement surface sealer is recommended.
3. Any major masonry repairs (defects such as broken plaster or spalled concrete, large gaps etc.) must be taken up using suitable bonding agents before painting.
4. For new or previously painted walls, it is very important to ensure proper priming of the surface for paint. Exterior wall primers give a sound substrate for the top/finish coat paint to adhere to. Primers add not only life to the paint, but also give a smooth paintable surface, thus enhancing the coverage of the top coat paint.

5. Any cracks and dents must be repaired using suitable crack fillers and leveling agents.
6. Choose a quality paint that gives you a lasting finish and provides good protection to your walls for a long period. Repeated cycles of painting employing labour are not only expensive but also time consuming and cause great inconvenience. Low quality paints result in frequent maintenance and higher overall costs.

Advantages of Telescopic Channels over Wheel Slides

Telescopic channels or telescopic drawer slides can be used in drawers, file cabinets, kitchen baskets etc. to enable ease of sliding.

Telescopic channels have the added advantage of "holding the drawer in its slot". That is to say that the drawer will not fall out of its slot even if it is fully drawn out.

Telescopic channels score over ordinary wheel slides 1. In reducing friction. They use ball bearings to reduce friction.
2. Keeps the drawer in its slot. Does not allow the drawer to fall out. Ordinary wheel channels do not prevent this.

3. Allows the drawer to be fully drawn out. In wheel channels, the drawer can be drawn out to about 80% of its length only.
4. Telescopic channels have a higher load bearing

capacity. They are usually rated to carry 10-45 kilograms. Wheel channels cannot take heavy loads.
5. Telescopic channels can be used in large drawers - as deep as 36". Wheel channels do not perform very well in lengths beyond 24".

Telescopic channels are also available in varieties such as soft close, auto close and self close.

Telescopic channels are a far better choice than wheel channels for your furniture.
