Best Uses

Tikkurila Finngard Opaque provides a waterborne sheen finish on interior and exterior facades. This durable masonry paint offers superb weather resistance, anti carbonation properties, and flexibility in an extremely durable finish. Tikkurila Finngard Opaque provides a masonry paint coating that protects against attack from chemical and biological erosion while ensuring low maintenance.

New or previously painted exterior facades including roughcast, pebble dash, concrete, cement rendering, building blocks and boards and previously primed wood and metal. Finngard Opaque is not recommended for use on substrates previously coated with lime paint.

Depending upon exposure and elevation one coat of Finngard Opaque is normally sufficient for 15-20 years.
