How to weatherproof your house

MANILA, Philippines – If your house is subject to problems such as leaks, terrible heat, a weak and fragile roof or is a fire waiting to happen, then it’s high time to make repairs. Destiny Paints, a line of high-quality coatings and construction products, offers these simple steps to a worry-free and very comfy crib.

• Don’t wait until the rain comes to fix leaks. Look hard now to find cracks, miniature gaps and holes in your roof, and gutters. Secure leaks by applying a sturdy, waterproof and durable sealant such as Bluseal Elastomeric Sealant to these invisible but deadly fissures.

• Keep cool in the extreme heat. If an electric fan’s not enough and you don’t have the financial resources to use the aircon day and night, try investing in a heat-repellent roof paint such as Kooltex. Kooltex Heat Repellant Roof Paint is more affordable than similar imported brands but just as effective. It repels the sun’s radiated heat by as much as 50 percent, thereby saving you headaches due to the high electricity costs of air-conditioning and the heat itself.

• Fireproof your home. If your home is filled with fire hazards, now is the time to flameproof it. Wooden walls and doors, curtains, carpets, and other combustible materials are deemed fire starters. Wet them with a colorless fire retardant such as Flame Shield Fire Retardant to extinguish the threat without marring their aesthetic beauty.

• Repaint your house to battle the harsh elements of nature. Use an elastomeric paint that has high weatherproof, waterproof and flexibility properties to make your roof last longer. One such product is Destiny Elastomeric Roofgloss Roof Paint, which comes in different shades to fit in your house’s color scheme.

• Say farewell to rust. To remove rust from your house’s metallic parts and keep them from deteriorating further, apply Zero Rust Converter.

• Protect your loved ones from disastrous slips. Cover your floor with Triple X Non-skid Floor Coating, which also makes it pleasing to the eyes.
