Exterior Finishes on Park Homes

ByPBIS

All properties require regular maintenance, and park homes are no different. Indeed, being detached, you will have four walls to take care of! It is really important to look after the exterior of your home. Generally speaking, homes with a textured finish will need to be re-textured every 3 years, although this may vary by manufacturer. Because park homes are built of timber, they are designed to flex, unlike bricks and mortar properties; it is, therefore, essential that the correct material is used when re-texturing exterior finish. Ordinary paint will not suffice as it is likely to crack and peel within a short space of time.

The industry in the main uses products from ‘Resitex’; they are the leading manufacturer of thermoplastic park home coatings in the UK. Resitex is specially formulated to create a flexible, tough, decorative and breathable barrier between the structure of your home and the elements. The good news is that you can buy it yourself directly from the manufacturer together with an easy-to-use application kit, all of which can be delivered to your door!

To place your order or for help and advice, you can contact Resitex on 01226 242322 or email info@resitexcoatings.co.uk. You can also check out their website at www.resitexcoatings.co.uk.
