Exposure

Homes on the suburb’s higher, open streets catch more sun and wind. North- and west-facing walls and timber weather fastest, so we prioritise them and use exterior systems designed for strong UV and Canberra’s temperature swings.

Exposure on Theodore’s higher streets

Theodore is in southern Tuggeranong, close to the hills on the district’s eastern side, and homes on its higher, more open streets catch more wind, sun and frost than those in sheltered pockets. The west and north elevations usually need the most attention, so it usually makes sense to repaint those first and leaving the more sheltered sides for a later stage. Using UV-resistant exterior systems, sealing joints with flexible products and choosing lighter colours all help paint last longer on exposed walls.

A note on 1980s homes

Raked ceilings need proper access equipment, and stained timber needs a stain-blocking primer. Fibre-cement installed before 2003 may contain asbestos and is never sanded. More on painting in Tuggeranong.

Theodore painting questions

Can we paint only the worst sides this year?

Yes. Staging the exterior by elevation is common.

Do you paint in Theodore and Calwell?

Yes.

Why do our north and west walls need paint sooner?

They get the most sun and UV, which breaks paint down faster than on shaded sides.

Can lighter colours reduce paint wear on exposed walls?

Yes. Lighter colours absorb less heat, so they fade less noticeably and put less stress on the coating.
