Is Ceramic Coating Worth It?
- November 3, 2017
When it comes to your home’s exterior, paint is no longer the only option.
You may be thinking about Rhino Shield’s ceramic coating instead. Wondering if it’s worth it? Interested in learning about the cost advantages of ceramic coating over traditional exterior paint?
How Does Ceramic Coating Save You Money?
When you opt for Rhino Shield exterior coating, you don’t have to worry about repainting. The coating lasts for 25 years, and it comes with a warranty so you really don’t need to do any paint-related maintenance during that time period. In contrast, with traditional exterior home paint, you have to pay for repainting every three to five years. During that time, you may also have to do touch ups. All of that adds up, but you avoid those expenses when you choose ceramic coating.
What are the Benefits of Ceramic Coating?
In addition to saving you money on the cost of repainting, ceramic coating saves you money simply by offer a higher quality experience than traditional exterior paint. Rhino Shield coating doesn’t just add color to the outside of your home. It also gives your home an extra layer of protection. This multi-layered coating adds some extra insulation to your home, potentially saving you money in cooling and heating costs. Its unique formula resists water penetration, helping to protect your home against water-based damage. On top of that, it contains additives that add fire resistance, kill mildew and algae, and blocks UV rays. All of those elements need to be factored in when you’re trying to figure out how ceramic coatings are cost effective.
How Does the Application Process Help?
Beyond the money-saving, cost-effective attributes of ceramic coating explained above, the application process also helps you to save money in the long run. At Georgia Coatings, we go through a number of steps in each and every application job. That ensures you get superior quality at affordable prices. We don’t believe in just painting over issues. That’s why we start with a thorough inspection of your home and we do any necessary repairs. Then, we power wash the exterior so that no fungus gets trapped beneath the ceramic coating. We sand and scrape so there aren’t bulky layers of old paint beneath the ceramic coating. If you have lead-based paint on your home, we can also take the necessary steps to mitigate that so it’s no longer a risk to you or your family.
Are There Additional Benefits to Ceramic Coating?
Rhino Shield can cost a little more upfront than traditional paint, but the long term benefits and cost savings more than make up for the difference. If you have an older home, Rhino Shield protects its intrinsic value. It’s the perfect choice for revitalizing old clapboard and bringing out the original texture and features of the home. Vinyl in contrast hides the original beauty of the home and may even bring down its value. Ready to learn more? Then, contact us directly.
