Why Sandtex Trade Smooth 20L Deep is the Professional Choice for 2026
As part of the best exterior paints available in Nigeria, the Sandtex Trade range is favored by contractors for its superior workability and longevity.
- Ultra-Smooth Decorative Finish: Provides a sleek, non-textured finish that allows the architecture of the building to stand out. It is ideal for modern, minimalist designs that require clean lines.
- 15-Year Proven Durability: Known for its "tough-skin" technology, it is formulated to resist peeling and flaking for up to 15 years, significantly reducing the maintenance cycle for estates and commercial buildings.
- Intense Color Saturation: The "Deep" base allows for the mixing of heavy, dark tones (like deep grays, charcoal, and chocolate brown) that provide 100% opacity without streaks.
- Tropicalized Weather Shield: Engineered to withstand the extreme Nigerian climate, it is highly resistant to heavy tropical rain, high humidity, and intense UV exposure.
- Dirt Resistance: Its smooth surface is designed to shed dirt and dust more easily than textured paints, keeping the building looking new for longer.
- Anti-Fungal Additives: Contains high-grade biocides to inhibit the growth of black mold and algae—a mandatory feature for buildings in Lagos, Port Harcourt, and other coastal regions.
