Hello! This is Kakeru Koumuten! Today, we will explain the necessity of exterior wall painting!

I, Sekiguchi, who is often called the female version of Kazuki Enari, will explain while listening to our painting craftsmen!!

The Necessity of Exterior Wall Painting

Many people ask, “Is exterior wall painting really necessary?” To put it simply…It is essential! Indeed, it may seem that if there are no visible damages or direct impacts from living in the house, it is fine to leave it as is. However, even if it is not visible, deterioration is occurring.

There is no exterior wall that does not deteriorate at all!!

If left unattended…

Water leaks, damage to the exterior wall, cracks, and gaps in caulking can lead to a risk of shortening the lifespan of your home. Illustration of water leakage

If left unchecked, deterioration will progress, leading to a loss of waterproofing in the exterior walls, which can result in leaks. Once water enters the home, the deterioration of the exterior walls will gradually accelerate.

Leaks become apparent only when they infiltrate the living space. If you think, “A little leak is no big deal…” it’s better to consider that leaks are a sign of a serious problem. It’s not always just that one area that is leaking; often, it has penetrated through the roof, ceiling, and even the interior walls.

We recommend regular maintenance instead of leaving it as is!

The average time when maintenance is needed is around 10 years!

 

Reasons Why Exterior Painting is Necessary…

When asked why exterior painting is necessary, most people might think, “To make the appearance look nice.” Of course, improving the appearance is one reason.

However, the primary purpose of exterior painting is to protect your home for as long as possible. It extends the lifespan of the building by providing a waterproof coating (paint film). Buildings deteriorate daily due to rain, UV rays, dust, and dirt. Therefore, painting is essential to protect your valuable home.

To put this in human terms, it’s like “skin.” Just as not applying sunscreen can lead to sunburn and various skin issues, the same goes for your home; it’s important to protect it with paint.

Wall Materials That Do Not Require Exterior Painting

While we discussed the necessity of exterior painting, there are buildings that do not require it.

Even if painting is not necessary, maintenance of joints and accessories is still required!

Tiles
