You asked: What’s the best paint for concrete and stucco homes in The Bahamas?
We answer: Concrete and stucco are extremely common in Bahamian construction — but the island climate can be tough on these surfaces. Choosing the right paint makes all the difference in how long your finish lasts.
Choosing the Best Paint for Concrete and Stucco Homes
Here’s what matters most:
Choose paint designed for masonry surfaces
Concrete and stucco naturally absorb moisture. That’s why using a masonry-friendly coating is essential.
Great options include:
- Loxon® XP – Excellent waterproofing and resistance to wind-driven rain.
- Loxon® Self-Cleaning Acrylic – Helps reduce dirt buildup and keeps exteriors looking fresh.
- Emerald® Exterior – Premium durability, UV protection, and long-lasting color.
These formulas help protect your home from moisture, cracking, and fading.
Use the right primer
Fresh stucco, patched walls, or porous concrete should always be primed.
We recommend:
- Loxon® Conditioner for bare or aging masonry
- Loxon® Masonry Primer to help seal and smooth the surface
Priming creates a strong foundation that helps paint last longer in humid, coastal environments.
Why this matters in The Bahamas
Our tropical climate includes:
- Strong sun
- Heavy humidity
- Salt in the air
- Frequent rain and storms
All of these can wear down regular paint faster — which is why masonry-specific coatings are your best choice.
Apply properly for long-term results
For the best finish:
- Pressure wash surfaces before painting
- Repair cracks in stucco or concrete
- Allow surfaces to dry completely
- Apply two coats for even coverage and longevity
These steps help your paint bond better and perform longer while helping you choose the best paint for concrete and stucco surfaces.
Concrete and stucco homes can stay beautiful for years with the right products and prep.
