Examination of the exterior for 
load-bearing capacity
At a glance
In-deep check the load bearing capacity
If necessary, remove exterior defects
That's how it is done.
Swipe the exterior. If the plaster trickles or the old exterior 
paint is peeling off easily, remove the defective areas over a 
large area before repainting.
You can also check the load-bearing capacity of the exterior 
using an adhesive tape test. 
To do this, you carve the test area with a utility knife, a 
lightweight, most minor masking tape firmly on it and rip the 
tape off sharply.
Thoroughly clean the substrate before 
Exterior painting
At a glance
Sweep the exterior and clean it with a high-pressure cleaner
Remove moss and algae growth
Collect wastewater and dispose of it properly
That's how it is done
All substrates must be clean, dry and dust-free before priming and 
painting with the paint. To do this, you first roughly sweep the exterior and 
clean the outer wall thoroughly with a high-pressure cleaner. 
You also remove the growth of moss and algae carefully - the high-
pressure cleaner also provides valuable support here.
It is a legal requirement that you collect all wastewater, paint residues, 
blasting sand and debris and dispose of them properly. To do this, shield 
the workplace on all sides and in total height with a suitable tarpaulin. You 
can obtain precise information on correct disposal from your responsible 
environmental authority.
Repair the exterior and 
mask off sensitive areas
At a glance
Repair cracks and holes
Apply new plaster to defective areas if 
necessary
Mask off sensitive areas with masking film
That's how it is done.
Plaster over the defective parts of an 
exterior wall. Then you tape off doors, 
windows and other sensitive areas of the 
exterior (e.g. outside lights, bells and 
ventilation flaps) with adhesive tape and 
protective film to protect them from dirt and 
damage.
Test absorbency and 
prime if necessary
At a glance
Test absorbency with a wet sponge
Apply primer if necessary
That's how it is done
You can test the absorbency of the exterior 
substrate with a wet sponge. If the exterior 
absorbs moisture, carefully prime the house 
wall. Apply the primer generously with a 
surface brush. Be careful not to work in direct 
sunlight.
As soon as the primer has been applied 
according to the manufacturer's instructions, 
you start painting the exterior.
Pre-paint corners and angles 
of the house exterior
At a glance
Pre-paint corners and angles with the brush
If necessary, delete specific details or elements
That's how it is done
The actual exterior painting begins with painting the 
corners and angles of the exterior. Here you apply the 
paint with the brush.
You can also paint architectural details, particular 
elements or surfaces on the house wall with the brush - 
especially if these later appear in a contrasting colour.
Pre- and intermediate coats
At a glance
Carry out a primer with thinned paint
It is followed by at least one intermediate coat
If necessary, use anti-mould concentrate and algae
That's how it is done
You use the exterior paint for the preliminary and 
intermediate coats. Depending on the manufacturer's 
instructions, you can dilute the primer with 5% to 15% 
water. The exterior paint diluted with water reduces 
consumption when painting.
To better protect the paint and plaster, add a fungicide 
(anti-mould concentrate) and an algicide to the paint, if 
necessary. The concentrates effectively prevent the 
formation of mould and algae.
Final coat: exterior 
painting
At a glance
Apply a final coat of paint with undiluted paint
Stroke lengthways, crossways and again 
lengthways
That's how it is done
The final coating of the exterior is carried out 
with undiluted paint in three steps: The paint 
on the paint roller is first painted lengthways, 
then crossways and then again lengthways. 
Finally, you roll the individual strips with the 
paint wet on wet. It is how you achieve the 
highest opacity for the exterior of your house.
