Which Paint Is Best For A Conservatory Exterior Please?

[rosyposy]

It is made of wood and is south facing, it is already painted green but needs doing again. Is it o.k. to use ordinary satin finish paint or do I need something special on account of the sun it gets, (sometimes!!) but I don't want a high gloss finish. I thought the paint used years ago was Sadalin but can't find it now, all they seem to make are wood varnishes and preservatives, no colours and I still want to keep it green.

Hi rosy. We used Sadolin on all our wood... Here's a link

If you want an exterior wood finish I always go for the Dulux Weathershield.

Thank you both for replying, and thank you for the link mazie. As I thought, Sadolin only make wood stains and varnish in wood colours, don't know where I got the idea that it was Sadolin already on the wood. I looked at the Weathershield shedman, thank you,but they seem to only do 2.5L sizes which is far too much paint for quite a small job, I was hoping to get a smaller size if possible, but I do like the Buckingham green. Thanks again, rosy

Hi Rosy, you will find that Dulux do weathershield paints in 1000ml and 750 ml sizes as well as the bigger ones. Have a look at the link below. Also if you go to B & Q or similar they can actually mix the colour you want in the finish you want while you wait.

Thank you shedman for that link, now weathershield sounds exactly what I am looking for as it comes in satin finish too as well as smaller sizes and Enchanted Eden shade -cheers rosy :0)
