Fence is a part of your home so it also needs taking care to bring your home a complete look. It not only brings your home a new fresh look which reflects your own personality but also protects your fence from damages caused by hard weather conditions. However, there are now several different brands of paint that make you so confused to decide which one has high quality and which one is the best suitable for your home. We will give you all needed information about the top 3 popular types of paint that we use for fence painting: Dulux Weathershield, Berger Solarscreen & Hadrian Fence Finish.
Below we have a comparable table to see the different between three popular fence paint.
1.Dulux Weathershield® Exterior fence paint
Why is Dulux fence paint most popular?
It is one among Australia’s oldest brands for exterior surfaces. Surfaces expand and shrink in response to changing weather conditions. It won’t peel, blister, or crack because Dulux WeatherShield is precisely developed to expand and contract with the surface. Strong adhesion, resistance to mould, dirt, and stains, and self-priming are further qualities of Weathershield paints. Self-priming is a very useful feature because it saves you time and money by eliminating the need to purchase a separate primer. WeatherShield has options for you whether you choose semi-gloss, low-sheen, or matt.
How long does this fence paint last?
Not only does Dulux fence paint provide incredible 15 years of all-weather protection, but it also only requires about two full applications to get coverage.

2. Berger Solarscreen fence paint

In order to provide effective UV protection, Berger Solarscreen is tested in our intense sunlight. Low Sheen, Gloss, and Semi Gloss are the three sheen levels of Berger Solarscreen. The Berger Solarscreen line offers exceptional protection against mold, fungus, and algae and self-primes on bare wood, fiber cement, brick, and masonry.
How long does Berger fence paint painting last?
