Beach House Colours
There’s something undeniably magical about a beach house, the calming hues, the natural light, and the sense of escape it offers from the hustle of everyday life. But crafting this serene aesthetic while ensuring durability in harsh coastal environments requires expertise and premium paints. That’s where Haymes Paint is superior to other paint brands; You bet it’s better.
As an Australian family-owned brand since 1935, Haymes Paint understands the unique challenges faced by homeowners. These challenges include meeting the demands of fade-, scuff- and stain-resistance walls, which we’ve tailored our paints to meet. With Haymes, you’re not just painting a house, you’re creating a haven designed to last.
Challenges of Coastal Living
If you own a beach house, it comes with its rewards, but also its challenges. While the proximity to the sea is idyllic, coastal homes endure constant environmental stresses:
- UV exposure: The harsh Australian sun can fade colours and damage paint surfaces.
- Salt spray: Accelerates rust and corrosion on metal fixtures and fittings.
- Humidity: Encourages mould, mildew, and dampness, affecting paint and timber finishes.
Standard paints often fall short in these conditions, leading to peeling, fading, or frequent repainting. For a beach house to thrive, it requires paints that are as tough as they are beautiful.
Paint Solutions for Coastal Living
We’ve developed paints designed to meet the unique needs of Australian coastal homes, ensuring they remain both stunning and resilient.
- Exterior Paints for Every Surface: Our Solashield® Exterior paint offers unparalleled UV defence, dirt and mould resistance, and a 20-year guarantee against peeling or flaking. Whether for weatherboards, cladding, or pergolas, Solashield® provides long-term protection with a flawless finish.
- Timber Protection that Shines: Enhance and protect your timber with our Woodcare UVEX Finish. This mould-resistant, UV-stable coating is perfect for cladding and trims. For high-traffic areas like decking, our Woodcare Decking Oil penetrates deeply to nourish timber while guarding against cracking and splitting.
- Rust-Free Metal Finishes: Coastal air can be harsh on metal elements, but our MetalPlus UV Superior Enamel provides exceptional rust protection. Tintable to over 15,000 colours, it blends seamlessly with your beach house palette, making it ideal for railings, gates, and outdoor furniture.
These products are more than paints, they’re investments in the longevity and beauty of your coastal home.Â
Colours That Speak the Language of the Beach
Your choice of colours can transform a house into a tranquil seaside retreat. Popular options include:
- Timeless Whites and Natural Series: Clean, airy whites and sandy tones create a classic, serene look.
- Vibrant Teals and Colours of Australia: Bring the energy of the ocean into your design.
Choosing the right colours is easier with Haymes Paint. Our professional colour consultants provide personalised advice tailored to your environment and vision. Book an in-home consultation in Victoria or New South Wales, or opt for an online session available Australia-wide.
Preparation: The Secret to Long-Lasting Results
Preparation is vital to achieving a professional and durable finish. Follow these steps:
- Clean Surfaces: Remove mould, dirt, and peeling paint with sandpaper and soapy water.
- Prime Properly: Use products like Ultralock for timber or MetalPlus Etch Primer for metals to ensure maximum adhesion.
- Apply Carefully: Follow drying times and recommended coat numbers for each product, as detailed in our application guides.
Proper preparation ensures your chosen colours and finishes stay vibrant and protected for years to come.
