Comparison vs. Ordinary Site Mix
| Criterion | Ordinary Mix | EuroFix |
|---|---|---|
| UV resistance | Fades and yellows within months | Colour-stable for years |
| Water & rain | Absorbs water and peels | Water-repellent, vapour-permeable |
| Cracking | Brittle, cracks with movement | Flexible, bridges hairline cracks |
| Fungi & algae | Grow quickly in damp | Built-in anti-fungal resistance |
| Repaint cycle | Every 1–2 years on a façade | Many years between repaints |
Consumption & Cost
Although the litre price is slightly above an ordinary interior emulsion, using cheap interior paint outdoors is a losing choice: it fades, cracks and peels within a season or two, forcing a façade repaint every one to two years at high scaffolding and labour cost. EuroFix Acryl 11 — EuroShield resists UV, rain and alkali, stretching the repaint cycle to many years with no early fading or peeling — so the small price premium disappears against the extra years of protection and the saved cost of repeated refurbishment.
