Why Is Spring the Best Time to Paint the Exteriors of Your Melbourne Home?

Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria is famous for its unstable weather. People say, if you are in Melbourne, be ready to witness 4 different seasons in a day – winter, spring, monsoon and summer. It may be exciting for a tourist, but is a nightmare for a painter who has taken up the task of painting the exteriors of your Melbourne home. 

That’s the reason, to evade this ‘glorious uncertainty’ of the Melbourne weather the professional painters would take the much safer route. The exterior painters in Melbourne

 would choose the Spring months of September, October and November to take up all the painting jobs – and very rightly so. There are multiple reasons why the painters choose spring as their favourite season to show their mettle. 

Spring in Australia comes with the perfect temperature

As per the records, Aussie springs are generally associated with a moderate temperature on an average, with the mercury hovering around 22 degree celsius. With such a moderate temperature that is accompanied with a soothing sunshine, the Melbourne painters feel it safe to paint, as the paint neither dries too fast and cracks later on, nor remains moist for too long to get smudged. They take just the right time to dry out, with hardly any rain and a mediocre amount of humidity in the air. 

There is hardly any rain during this time of the year

Exterior paint would need consistent dry, sunny days with no rain in the forecast for a consistent period of time, ‘tis the right time for the professionals to take up the tools. It goes without saying that the exterior paints need consistent sunshine of moderate brightness for an extended period for the paints to take their fullest effect. Thus, if you want your home to look awe-inspiring and the paints to shine full throttle, hire professionals from reputable painting services. They will always stick to this thumb rule of selecting spring to paint the exteriors and justify your investment to the fullest. 

The Humidity remains perfect

Painting your Melbourne house in the spring, when the humidity is at its peak, is the safest  step taken by the house painters in Melbourne.  The usual humidity in Melbourne during the spring hovers to the tune of 50 to 60 percent, which is perfect for painting.

When the air is heavy with moisture, the pint will not cling to the surface correctly and may take too long to dry. 

Professional painters would use specialised dehumidifiers to create the perfect conditions for a stunning result, so if you are worried about humidity reach out to your trusted local painter today.

Aussie Springs are nor airy 

There’s an eternal misperception that wind is ideal for painting. In reality, wind might cause a variety of problems for the painters.

Your freshly painted surface may get dusty, uneven, and discoloured as a result of too much wind. The reason being, the wind will carry dirt and grime into the paint work. You run the risk of getting overspray on your car, garden, or on the walls you don’t want to have painted. 

It is not the case though, for the interior painters in Melbourne.
