24.01.2022 Loving Porters Fresco Porter’s Fresco is a hard wearing finish designed to replicate the cool lustre of the trowelled plaster walls of ancient European buildings. Porter’s Fresco gives an elegance, depth, originality and sophistication to any wall, and when sanded and polished with Porter’s Stucco Wax, its rich lustre reflects light like fine marble.... For residential projects Fresco is used on entire broad wall areas, or as a highlighted feature wall or chimney breast. Commercially, it is widely used in foyers, reception areas, restaurants and concert halls.

23.01.2022 Why the White Uniform? This is a question we are asked frequently. There are some different theories as to where this uniform for painters originated. The story we stick to when asked may not be 100% factualbut it sure sounds good! Legend has it that back in the late 19th century union painters adopted the all white uniform to set themselves apart from the non-union painters. This became their symbol of professionalism and they often added a black bow tie just to enhance the professional look. At the end of the day if the painter came off a job with little paint on their clothing it would suggest that they were skilled.

22.01.2022 PROBLEM CEILINGS - WE CAN HELP There are several problems that can occur on a ceiling to categorise it as a problem area: CALCIMINE PAINT Fibros plaster ceilings were originally being painted with calcimine paint. Calcimine paint came in powdered form. It was mixed with water then applied to the ceiling. Once it dried by the water evaporating it left a coat of pigment powder on the surface of the ceiling. Years later the ceiling would have been recoated using a flat plastic p...aint which resulted in the calcimine pigments and powders sucking all the binders out of the new plastic paint making them unstable. Over the years with extra coats being applied to the surface creating extra pressure as well as gravity doing its job causes the paint to flake. INCORRECT APPLICATION In the early 80s where gyprock homes were being built to price and with little knowledge of paints the incorrect application was being used. Painters were applying flat paints straight onto bare gyprock and therefore, the paint was not soaking in like a primer would usually do. This application process becomes unstable over the years as well as more coats being applied over time creating more pressure on the surface and gravity doing its job the result is a problem ceiling which peels and flakes. MOISTURE One of the more common issues with problem ceilings is moisture. There are several reasons why moisture occurs. Moisture from storm damage can release the coating from any ceiling surface causing peeling or blistering paint. Also wet areas in the house such as the kitchen, laundry and bathroom can create moisture. For example in a bathroom with lack of ventilation, steam damage can occur to the coating causing it to flake and peel. Using paint with a higher sheen level may help reduce water absorption which accelerates peeling ceilings. More info on this in our Sheen Levels article.

18.01.2022 HOW WAS YOUR LONG WEEKEND? If you had a DIY painting weekend and it went a bit pear shaped. Give us a call, email or visit our website. www.frontierpainting.com.au Painting Faux Paw... When my mother decided it was time to paint her living room, I told her I’d help. We took all the usual precautions like placing dropcloths and masking the trim to keep cleanup to a minimum. The painting was going fine until the cat decided to pay us a visit and proceeded to jump into the half-full roller pan. The cat freaked and ran a circle around the room and then dashed up the staircase. It wasn’t hard to ‘track her down’ and scrub the paint from her paws, but the rest of the cleanup job took several hours. We now keep the curious cat in another room while we paint!

04.01.2022 Though 2018 feels like it has barely started (wait, it’s what month?!), the paint colour trends for 2019 have already begun pouring out of our favourite coating brands. Gone are last year’s millennial pinks and ultra violets (thanks, Pantone), replaced instead with a return to earth- and nature-toned palettes. Looking across the colour palettes of 2019, next year is going to be earthy, lush, spicy, and inspiring; the most popular paint colours of the upcoming year are tones of jungle green, desert shades, and all things sun-baked.
