Long-lasting, breathable, mineral interior/exterior paint

See the color options here!

Silacote Concrete and Masonry Paint is designed for use on inorganic cementitious substrates, and can be used in both interior and exterior applications. The high pH of its composition prevents fungus, algae and mold.

This product penetrates into the inorganic substrate of masonry and then petrifies, forming a micro-crystalline structure that resists moisture and helps to reflect heat. Extremely long-lasting and durable, Silacote Concrete and Masonry Paint is not a topical finish, therefore it will not crack and peel off the structure.

TIP: Box your paint.
Boxing paint means combining all the paint of one color into a larger container BEFORE painting. This blends any inconsistencies in color, especially on large surfaces where the slightest variation from one can to another could be visible. If you think you may not have enough paint to finish one wall, don't begin until you receive more paint. Box the new gallon with the original and then finish the job.

Why we like it

If you're building with plaster, stucco, brick or concrete, use this and you'll never have to paint again. It's expensive but worth every penny because it won't wear off or need re-application down the road.
