Varnish or paint for window frames "high weather resistance"

Hello everyone,

we have chosen a color for the window frames. It should be a fine-structure paint from Tiger. Now I have discovered that the same color from Tiger is also available as „[Hochwetterfest]“. Does anyone have an idea what that means in terms of quality? Should we definitely take the „[hochwetterfesten]“ one?

Thanks and regards!

So this manufacturer already leads the top of these products. We have successfully used it at the largest airport in Germany. Even the standard paints are advertised as "highly weather-resistant" (whatever that is) and they are already good. The officially highly weather-resistant paints (are also correspondingly more expensive) have an additional additive (I'm not sure) based on epoxy resin. However, the predator has a very good home page with a hotline. Of course, it is biased but asking questions never hurts.

Thank you for the response, I understand that you consider the standard paints from Tiger to be top and absolutely sufficient? Did you use the standard colors from Tiger for the airport, or officially weather-resistant? Specifically, for us it is about DB703 in fine structure. There is the (standard) paint 29/80077 for facades, etc. And also a weather-resistant variant 68/80045.

We took the standard paint, which was already really great. But now that the construction site is finished, I will be gone again. I am currently at home for the weekend. Is the price difference really that huge compared to the house? I would choose the higher-quality paint for myself, without being able to justify it with numbers right now. If desired, I can check.

If desired, I'll check.

That would of course be great, but thanks already for the answers and information.

We don’t have any figures yet for a possible surcharge, but it naturally adds up over the window frames, front door (also in our color), shutter casing (Warema), parapet sheet metal (will also get the color), as well as the garage cladding (also sheets with the same coating)...
