    Painting a Conservatory

    Postby la123la » Mon Apr 25, 2011 7:27 am

    I have my conservatory painted professionally every 5 years, it is due this year which will be the third time, however, every year the paint on the bottom half blisters and peels and I have to repaint this area myself to ensure rain and bad weather does not damage the wood. I don't know why this happens as the correct paint is used which allows the wood to breathe. Should some kind of undercoat/primer be used? I can't remember what the weather was like when it was last painted but if it was wet or damp could this have made a difference?
    Thank you

    la123la,
    The failure of the paint on the lower parts is probably due to the end grain of the timbers not being sealed when the conservatory was erected.
    end
