Exterior Wall Painting Construction Procedure
1. High-Pressure Washing
We thoroughly remove dirt and moss with high-pressure washing of the exterior walls! If any dirt remains, it can affect the adhesion and lifespan of the paint, so we wash carefully.
2. Protection of Various Areas
3. Primer Application
4. Finish Coat
Royal Seraclear is a clear paint compatible with photocatalytic siding (difficult-to-adhere siding).
5. Painting of Auxiliary Parts (Rain Gutter, Cap Flashing, Drip Edge Flashing)
Rain Gutter
・Cap Flashing
・Drip Edge Flashing

Joint Replacement Work Procedure
1. Removal of Existing Sealant
This is referred to as sealing, caulking, or joints. It can easily lead to water leaks and is crucial for preventing cracks and lifting in the siding. Cracks and peeling are signs of deterioration!
2. Masking Tape Application
3. Primer Application
4. Filling with Sealing Material
Auton Exceed has a durability of about 3 times that of regular caulking materials (urethane, modified silicone, etc.). The expected durability is about 30 years. The cost will be approximately 50,000 to 100,000 yen higher for a building with a total floor area of 30 tsubo.
5. Finishing with a Trowel
6. Removal of Masking Tape
That concludes the process.
Typically, exterior wall painting is done after replacing the joints, but in the case of Kikusui Chemical/Royal Ceraclear, it is not allowed to apply on the replaced joints, so we performed joint replacement after painting. The process varies depending on the materials, and knowledge is required!
If the exterior wall is siding, it is common to carry out joint replacement and exterior wall painting together, so caution is necessary!
This time, we were able to finish beautifully without any issues!
The Appeal and Benefits of Clear Coating
Clear coating is a painting method that not only enhances the beauty and durability of the exterior walls of homes and buildings but also protects them while preserving the original texture of the materials. Especially when you want to maintain the existing material and color of the exterior wall, clear coating is the optimal choice.
Transparency
Since clear coating uses transparent paint, the original materials and colors remain visible after painting. This allows for a beautiful appearance that is almost unchanged from the exterior wall before painting. Clear coating can be said to be a painting method that combines protective functions while preserving the originality of the exterior wall.
Durability
Clear coating protects the exterior walls from rainwater and ultraviolet rays. This helps extend the lifespan of the exterior walls. Additionally, since clear coating is applied in a thin layer, it minimizes weight increase and reduces the overall burden on the building.
Aesthetic Appeal
Clear coating has a glossy finish that adds dimension to the exterior walls. It also prevents color unevenness and achieves a uniform finish. This allows for a beautiful appearance to be maintained over a long period.
Disadvantages of Clear Coating
Clear coating has many advantages, but there are also some disadvantages.
Cost
Clear coating can be somewhat more expensive compared to other painting methods. However, in return, you gain long-lasting durability and aesthetic appeal.
Disadvantages of Transparency
Since clear coating is transparent, it has the disadvantage of revealing the condition of the exterior wall before painting. If there are scratches or dirt on the exterior wall, they may become noticeable.
The Necessity of Exterior Wall Painting and Maintenance Schedule
◇ Necessity and Purpose of Exterior Wall Painting
The role of exterior wall painting is primarily to protect the exterior walls. Like the roof, the exterior walls are directly affected by rain, wind, and ultraviolet rays. Regular exterior wall painting helps prevent these damages and plays a role in extending the lifespan of the house.
Additionally, making the house look beautiful is also a role of exterior wall painting. Since the exterior wall determines the first impression of the house, maintaining its beauty enhances the comfort of the residents and the evaluation from the surroundings.
If you want to extend the lifespan of your home and maintain its appearance, exterior wall painting is necessary.
◇ Maintenance Schedule for Exterior Wall Painting
Generally, the lifespan of exterior wall painting is said to be about 7 to 10 years. However, like the roof, it varies depending on the type of paint used, the painting method, and climatic conditions. Inspections are necessary 3 to 5 years after the first painting to check for signs of deterioration such as fading, peeling, and cracking.
By regularly checking the condition of the exterior walls and performing maintenance as needed, you can protect your valuable home while maintaining its aesthetic appeal.
Kikusuikagaku’s Royal Seraclear Paint
As a paint used for clear coating, there is Kikusuikagaku’s Royal Seraclear paint. This paint has properties suitable for clear coating and is supported by many professionals.
Royal Seraclear paint is widely used as an excellent choice for protecting the exterior walls and siding of buildings. It improves weather resistance without compromising the appearance of the building and is used to maintain a beautiful exterior. It is important to choose the appropriate Royal Seraclear paint according to the building’s purpose and weather conditions.
