FAQ:Paints of BARBOT, Portugal
Collapsible content
Why do architects and contractors in the UAE need specialized paints?
The UAE’s
environment presents extreme challenges: intense UV radiation, high humidity, airborne sand, and rapid temperature shifts. Standard paints tend to fade, crack, or lose adhesion much faster in this climate. Professional architectural paints are formulated to resist these conditions, ensuring color retention, long-term protection, and reduced maintenance costs.
Why are our paints ideal for the UAE market?
They are tailored for the region’s extreme climate—intense sun, humidity, and sandstorms—ensuring durability, color stability, and long-lasting professional finishes.
What experience does Barbot have in producing paints for harsh climates?
Barbot, the manufacturer, has been active for decades in Portugal, Southern Europe, Africa, and Latin America, where buildings face strong UV exposure, high humidity, and severe coastal conditions. This experience has shaped advanced formulations that are already tested in climates very similar to, and in many ways harsher than, the Gulf environment.
Why are Barbot paints especially suitable for Gulf countries?
Since the Gulf shares similar challenges—sun, heat, saline winds, humidity, and dust— Barbot paints are uniquely positioned to perform. Their heritage of formulating for
Southern Europe, Africa, and Latin America provides strong proof of durability, making them a natural choice for architects and developers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other Gulf states.
