Learn from the painting professionals whatever the weather

Pride & Joy is perfect for painting interior and exterior surfaces

Pride and Joy is the new name in luxury paints and, given that the brand has been developed by a company with a long history in Scandinavia, you can have full confidence in the quality - whatever the weather!

There is paint for both interior and exterior work and you should not need to redecorate for seven or eight years due to the strength and quality of the products.

Teknos has been making paint for the extreme weather conditions of Scandinavia for many years and sells in countries where weather is extreme and unpredictable.  Their experience in avoiding paint problems even goes so far as not leaving paint in delivery vehicles when the temperature drops.  Of course they have no control over what happens to the paint when it is in the hands of the decorator but they offer plenty of good advice to help you get the best out of the paint. For example you should avoid placing paint on concrete floors in cold weather because it draws the heat out of the can and you are then putting on paint that is at a very low temperature and has little hope of drying before nightfall. Paint may be touch dry but still not dry underneath so coats should never be too thick.

Avoid putting paint on sharp edges because it will always flow away and be very thin on that point. Inevitably, it will crack and water will creep underneath. 

Finally it is always best to avoid using joinery timber with knots but if you do have knots it is best to dry them out with a hot air gun and then, rather than trying to seal them with shellac let the knot bleed through the water based paint.  When it dries and crystalises it can be rubbed off with little or no damage to the paint film. All these points will of course help you get the best out of any paint but Pride and Joy is made to withstand the bit you have no control over, the weather.
