Best Paint Brands for Southern Suburbs Homes
By Claremont Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
The wet Southern Suburbs climate demands paints with strong moisture resistance and fungicidal protection. For exterior walls in Claremont, Kenilworth and Rondebosch, Plascon Micatex and Dulux Weathershield are the benchmark products — both offer strong moisture barrier properties and good UV resistance. For interior work on premium Southern Suburbs properties, premium ranges deliver the quality finish expected.
Anti-Biological Additives
In the Southern Suburbs, fungicidal paint additives are more important than in drier Cape Town suburbs. Ask your painter about enhanced fungicidal protection for shaded north and east-facing elevations where biological growth is most active. Some premium exterior paints include fungicidal protection in the formulation — others require the addition of a fungicidal additive to the paint pot. See our full Claremont painting guide for more advice.
