For most exterior walls in Saudi Arabia, apply two coats after proper surface preparation. In hot climates like Riyadh or Dammam, add a third coat to south- or west-facing walls for better heat resistance. Always follow Matkel product instructions and check each coat is even before finishing.
Yes. When applied correctly to clean, prepared walls, it reduces heat transfer through exterior surfaces. In cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam, it can lower cooling load and air-conditioning runtime, leading to visible savings over time. Results vary with building orientation and roof coverage.
Most thermal insulation paints are designed for exterior facades because they resist direct sunlight, high heat, and UV exposure. Some interior formulas exist, but you must choose the right product for the surface. Matkel offers exterior options suited to Saudi sun, humidity, and common wall materials.
Drying time depends on temperature, humidity, and the exact product. Usually, the surface feels dry within a few hours, but you should wait at least 24 hours before applying the next coat or exposing the wall to rain or AC airflow. In hot weather, follow the label closely.
Price depends on formulation, pack size, wall area, and surface condition. Before purchase, measure the wall size and note sun exposure. The surface must be cleaned, cracks repaired, and sometimes primed for best adhesion. Matching the paint to your wall helps avoid waste and improves performance.
