4 Tips to Stop Algae Growth on Exterior Walls | Homework by Asian Paints

Is your home’s exterior turning green with unsightly patches? That’s algae, also known as kaai, and it’s more than just a cosmetic issue or an eyesore—it’s a sign of moisture retention and poor wall protection.  Learn how to tackle this issue with the right paint solution with Homework by Asian Paints

Why Do Algae Grow on Walls?

Algae thrive in humid, rainy, and shaded areas, especially on walls that retain moisture. Over time, they form green or black patches that can damage the surface and reduce your home’s curb appeal.

  • Exterior walls

  • Homes in coastal or high-humidity regions

 

Key Benefits of using the Ultima Range:

  • Anti-Algal Formula: Prevents algae and fungus formation, protecting walls from ugly black spots.

Tips to Keep Exterior Walls Clean

To prevent algae and maintain a fresh facade:

  • Trim nearby vegetation to reduce shade and moisture

  • Ensure proper drainage around the base of walls

  • Clean walls periodically with bleaching solution or a mild cloth

  • Inspect for cracks and seal them to prevent water seepage
