Painting the roof box as a do-it-yourself task

2021-04-13 12:17:02

Hello dear ones, my builder is charging nearly 2500€ for painting the [Dachkasten], I would rather not spend that and do it myself, do you possibly have any tips? Which paint? Which manufacturer? I would like to use the color anthracite, is there any reason against it? Thanks to you all in advance.

I cannot give you a direct recommendation regarding your questions, but have you asked the [Bauträger] if they might possibly install plastic profiles? At the time, we chose plastic, which makes the roof box maintenance-free for years and does not need to be painted. With 2 full floors, I would need scaffolding every time... I wanted to avoid that.

I can't give you a direct recommendation for your questions, but have you also asked the builder if they might possibly install plastic profiles? We decided on plastic back then, which makes the roof box maintenance-free for years and it doesn't need to be painted. With 2 full floors, I would need scaffolding every time... I wanted to save myself that.

Great idea, unfortunately our roof box is already built and made of wood...

Okay. Then choose a good brand paint from the specialist retailer. You will benefit from it for a longer time. Which paint you choose naturally depends on your taste and the rest of the appearance of your house...

We also painted our rafters ourselves with Osmo Landhausfarbe. It was significantly more effort than I had anticipated. You need to plan enough time.

Anthracite is okay. But it looks gloomy with the anthracite roof. Prefer light gray. Color recommendation Consolan or, if a Hagebau is nearby, their own brand Renovo, which contains Brillux, but does not cost Brillux. We did it ourselves as well. Two people, two days, two coats.
