Most paint manufacturers follow a predictable pattern: create premium exterior paints for harsh outdoor conditions, then develop cheaper interior versions under the assumption that indoor surfaces face less demanding environments. This cost-cutting approach fundamentally misunderstands what homeowners and professionals actually need.
Ultrashield challenges this industry standard with a revolutionary philosophy: why compromise on interior quality when you can deliver exceptional performance everywhere? Instead of manufacturing different formulations for different applications, we over-engineer one superior product that excels both inside and outside your home.
This approach represents more than just convenience. When you use the same premium formula throughout your property, you achieve consistent performance, simplified maintenance, and the confidence that comes from knowing every surface receives maximum protection.
Ultrashield Interior/Exterior merges the qualities of high-end interior paint with those of top-tier exterior paint, creating an exceptional product suitable for all surfaces. Crafted with the same ingredients as renowned roof membranes, this paint endures even the toughest conditions for 20 years or longer.
The foundation of Ultrashield's performance lies in its advanced pure acrylic resin technology. With 50% average solids content, this formulation delivers superior coverage while maintaining excellent durability characteristics. The high resin concentration creates surfaces that flex rather than crack under stress, whether from thermal cycling outdoors or mechanical stress indoors.
This polymer technology enables Ultrashield to achieve up to 14 square meters per liter coverage while maintaining excellent hiding power. The advanced formulation means you typically achieve complete coverage in fewer coats, reducing labor time and material costs.
Ultrashield's high opacity formulation provides remarkable coverage, achieving full hide over dark colors in just one coat where conventional paints require multiple applications. The self-priming properties eliminate unnecessary steps on most properly prepared surfaces, streamlining the painting process without compromising quality.
This efficiency stems from carefully balanced pigment loading and resin content that ensures optimal hiding power while maintaining smooth application characteristics. The result is professional-quality coverage with enhanced productivity.
Rather than offering a single paint product, Ultrashield represents a comprehensive system designed to address every painting need with consistent quality and performance standards.
The cornerstone product delivers exceptional durability in three finish options: Semi-Gloss (24% gloss level), Low Sheen (8% gloss level), and Low Lustre (3% gloss level). This range ensures optimal aesthetics for any application while maintaining the same underlying performance characteristics.
Available in white, deep, and strong base formulations, plus factory-tinted options, Ultrashield accommodates virtually any color requirement. The consistent formulation across all color options ensures uniform performance regardless of your aesthetic choices.
Premium ceiling applications demand specific performance characteristics. UltraFlat Ceiling White delivers excellent coverage with a crisp white tone that can be tinted to any white base color. The formulation includes enough open time to allow application by airless spray and back rolling by just one person, enhancing productivity.
With mould and mildew resistance, this specialized paint performs excellently in challenging environments like bathrooms while remaining suitable for exterior applications. Coverage reaches up to 14 square meters per liter with 50% solids content ensuring excellent hiding power.
Foundation preparation determines coating success. UltraPrime 3-in-1 serves as a high-quality, water-based sealer, primer, and undercoat featuring tannin-blocking properties. Outstanding adhesion to various substrates, both indoors and outdoors, includes compatibility with aged enamel surfaces.
The high opacity formulation provides remarkable coverage, achieving complete hide over dark colors in just one coat. Available in white and special-order dark grey, UltraPrime 3-in-1 can be factory-tinted to complement popular topcoat shades like Monument, reducing the number of topcoats required.
High-traffic areas and detailed work require specialized attention. UltraNamel Door & Trim utilizes advanced pure acrylic and polyurethane resin technology to produce exceptionally durable trim paint. The rapid-drying, low-odor formulation cleans up easily with water while delivering superior performance.
Designed primarily for airless spray application, UltraNamel provides smooth, flat finishes that are simple to achieve. For brush application, the distinctive, silky, low-drag texture delivers the smooth application characteristics professionals expect. Available in semi-gloss and low sheen finishes with up to 12 square meters per liter coverage.
The philosophy behind Ultrashield's approach challenges conventional manufacturing wisdom. While competitors reduce interior paint quality to achieve lower price points, over-engineering delivers superior long-term value through enhanced durability and performance consistency.
When the same premium formulation protects both interior and exterior surfaces, you achieve predictable performance throughout your property. Interior walls receive the same level of protection as exterior walls, ensuring uniform aging, maintenance requirements, and aesthetic consistency over time.
This consistency simplifies future maintenance decisions. Instead of remembering which rooms received premium treatment and which received economy formulations, every surface maintains the same high performance standards.
Interior surfaces face unique challenges that economy paints struggle to address. High-traffic areas experience scuff marks, children's artwork, furniture impacts, and frequent cleaning cycles. Kitchen and bathroom environments introduce grease, steam, and cleaning chemical exposure.
Ultrashield's over-engineered formulation handles these challenges with advanced adhesion properties, superior washability, and fade resistance that maintains color integrity under artificial lighting and filtered sunlight through windows.
Local manufacturing provides distinct advantages for Australian conditions. Ultrashield formulations address specific environmental challenges including intense UV radiation, extreme temperature variations, and unique humidity patterns that affect both interior and exterior surfaces.
Australian homes experience significant temperature differentials between interior and exterior environments. Air conditioning creates interior temperature stability while exterior surfaces endure extreme heat cycles. Using the same advanced polymer technology throughout ensures consistent expansion and contraction characteristics that prevent cracking or adhesion failure.
The formulation's UV-stable technology addresses interior fade challenges from filtered sunlight while providing complete exterior protection against direct solar radiation.
Local manufacturing enables rigorous quality control that ensures every batch meets exacting standards. This consistency supports the comprehensive warranty program and provides confidence in long-term performance expectations.
Comprehensive warranty coverage demonstrates confidence in Ultrashield's performance capabilities. This industry-leading warranty applies to the complete system when properly applied according to specifications, providing peace of mind that extends well beyond typical paint warranties.
