Painting window-sills and reveals on a house

July 6, 2015

Painting window-sills and reveals on a house is very commonly done and I have lost count of how many I have done over the years.

I think it should be said that the best window-sills to paint are concrete ones, but unfortunately over the years many bath-stone window-sills have been painted and these take a lot more of preparation and will not last as long as concrete. In truth they should never be painted.
The first job is to remove all the loose paint and then fill holes with a suitable exterior filler. 

Then you can start painting. Over the years people have used gloss paint which is really isn’t suitable. Concrete and bath-stone window-sills need to breathe and that is why you must use Dulux Weathershield Masonary Paint and apply two coats giving adequate time for drying between coats.

Following these steps will give the perfect finish and they won’t need painting again for many years.
