Ciret Talks Exterior Masonry Paint Colours

Ciret Ltd - part of the Storch-Ciret Group, Europe’s number one painting and decorating tool manufacturer - talks about exterior masonry paint and how the colour of your property can encourage a sale.

Choosing the right masonry paint, which is paint that is specifically designed for exterior walls, will not only prolong the life of your home’s exterior, it can also attract future buyers.

According to experts at JustBoilers, these five most-popular masonry paint colours can draw in potential buyers.

Even though we’ve seen an increase in colourful exteriors, especially pastel colours like pink, yellow or blue, the classics still dominate the market.

So, what colour should you choose to make your property more visible on the market? Research results, undertaken by JustBoilers, are based on searches for masonry paint and include all different shades of colour and brands.

Here are the top 5 most popular masonry colours in the UK:

1. Grey

A grey exterior, including shades like slate, charcoal, or gravel, is most likely to encourage the sale of your property. With over 24k monthly searches grey leads the list of masonry paint colours. The grey scale is not just a favourite for the exterior, it has also been one of the top-selling colours for the interior.

2. White

White is as classic as it can get. It creates a fresh, pure and simple theme that lends itself to bold accent colours. More than 11k monthly searches are for white house exterior. You can’t go wrong with a classic.
