Painting Challenge

The project required painting both the exterior and interior of the newly extended and renovated farmhouse. The design featured a mix of materials, including charred recycled ironbark cladding outside and a simple, modern palette inside with white plasterboard and timber finishes.

The farmhouse’s rural setting meant the paint needed to withstand harsh Australian summers, including high temperatures and the risk of bushfires. The interior spaces also needed a durable, easy-to-clean finish that would highlight the home’s natural light and modern design.

Our Solution

Our team worked closely with the architects and owners to select the best Dulux paints for each surface and condition:

Exterior: We used Dulux Weathershield® for its proven durability and weather resistance, ensuring the exterior remains protected and vibrant for years to come.

Interior: For the walls and ceilings, we chose Dulux Wash&Wear® in a crisp white to create a bright, airy feel and complement the American oak joinery and recycled timber floors.

Special care was taken to achieve a flawless finish on both new and retained surfaces, ensuring the paintwork enhanced the home’s sustainable features and modern style.

Results

Enhanced Durability: Dulux products provide long-lasting protection against the elements, crucial for an off-grid, rural home.
