Glixtone AC-1 High Performance Masonry paint is a high-end water-based product for exterior use. You can buy this paint in white, or just about any colour. Use water to clean-up, but you shouldn’t dilute Glixtone AC-1 masonry paint. I hope you enjoy my review.
Is Glixtone AC-1 High Performance Masonry Paint Any Good?
Upon using Glixtone AC-1 High Performance Masonry paint for the first time, it seems to have an amazing opacity, and a very bright white finish. The tinted colours leave an awesome finish too! Generally, I’m impressed. Straight out of the tin, it cuts in well, and it provides a wonderfully even-rolled finish; using a medium pile Hamilton roller sleeve. The walls were bleached prior to painting, and the biocide in this paint keeps the white nice and bright for a few years of years.
The COSHH (control of substances hazardous to health), describes Glixtone AC-1 High Masonry paint as:
- High Performance, Water-Borne, Exterior Coating with outstanding anti-carbonation properties.
- High moisture vapour permeability for uses on substrates that themselves have vapour permeability, for example, Wychert/Cob buildings finished in Lime Render.
It also classifies itself as Elastomeric and exceptionally flexible- moves with the substrate.
The product does state that it’s good for up to 30 years. Most masonry paints come with a 5 year guarantee, so you can see from the outset this a premium product.
It also states that it’s good for seaside areas. This is another positve indication of the longevity of Glixtone AC-1 High Performance Masonry paint.
On the whole I give this product a 9/10, it has excellent capacity, and my only concern is that it’s a little thin. It has a slight sheen, but clearly that’s just to allow water run off. It does seem a cut above most of the other masonry paints I have tried, most of which are named on the Decorators Forum UK. The only other one I think would be better is Emperor Paints.
