Mulock House: Restoring historic white exterior
As part of the Mulock House restoration efforts, the exterior paint will be removed and replaced with a modern, durable white coating. This significant step in the restoration process will refresh the historic white appearance of the beloved Mulock House.
Clifford Restoration Limited has begun the meticulous process of stripping the existing paint from the exterior of Mulock House. This paint, believed to have first been applied over a hundred years ago, has reached the end of its service life and requires replacement. The Heritage Impact Assessment emphasizes the importance of maintaining the white painted exterior brick and stone with green accents that residents know and love.
Restoration Techniques: The existing paint layers, which are delaminating and causing damage to the brick surface, will be carefully removed. This process will expose the original brick and prepare it for the new coating. The new mineral silicate paint will restore the house to its historic white color.
The new coating will be a high-quality, mineral-based breathable paint specifically designed for masonry surfaces. This type of paint allows moisture to escape from the brick while preventing water from penetrating, which helps preserve the structural integrity of the house. In addition to offering long-lasting protection against weathering, UV exposure, and environmental wear, it will enhance and maintain the timeless, elegant aesthetic of the house for many years to come.
