Tikkurila Finngard Opaque - White 3 Litre

Tikkurila FinnGard Opaque Masonry Paint is a high-performance, water-based, alkyd-reinforced acrylic coating designed to deliver long-lasting protection and durability for exterior façades. This elastomeric masonry paint provides excellent flexibility, allowing it to bridge minor cracks while maintaining a tough, weather-resistant finish.

Formulated for demanding environments, FinnGard Opaque offers outstanding resistance to weathering, carbonation and environmental pollutants. Its breathable, microporous structure allows moisture vapour to escape while preventing water ingress, helping to maintain the integrity of the substrate over time.

Suitable for both new and previously painted exterior surfaces, this durable coating is ideal for roughcast, pebbledash, concrete, cement render and building blocks. It delivers a smooth semi-matt finish with excellent colour retention and reduced maintenance requirements.
