In Florida, the tropical climate puts a lot of stress on a building's exterior, causing issues such as mildew, algae, and rapid paint deterioration. Painting your property’s exterior improves its appearance and is one of the best ways to protect it from humidity, precipitation, and UV damage.
In terms of preventative maintenance, choosing the right exterior coating can save you from costly and time-consuming re-painting and more significant damage from underlying and unseen issues––such as mold.
This blog compares and contrasts exterior coatings designed for sub-tropical climates versus traditional name-brand exterior paint.
Exterior coatings formulated and manufactured specifically for Florida’s climate are an investment in your property's longevity and beauty. Exterior coatings for tropical environments are better equipped to handle harsh elements such as:
Your property will stay looking fresh and well-maintained for longer. Nationally sold paint brands have to perform the same way in the dry climate of the Southwest, the wet and freezing conditions of the Northeast, and the humidity of the South.
Being equally good in all of these climates means that paint doesn’t excel in any one situation. Buying specialized paint requires going direct to a local manufacturer. Still, it also means that the quality is unparalleled for painting properties in the area.
Traditional name-brand exterior paint is not specifically formulated for tropical climates, which can result in rapid paint deterioration and an increased risk of mildew and algae growth.
These types of paint are not designed to withstand the harsh climate in Florida, which means they will not provide the same level of protection as a coating specifically designed for the area.

Choosing the right exterior coating is important, especially in a tropical climate like Florida. When evaluating your options, it's essential to consider the benefits and limitations of both exterior coatings designed explicitly for sub-tropical climates and traditional name-brand paint.
A high-quality, specially formulated coating like UCI Paints ensures that your property will be protected and look great for years to come. However, you have to purchase directly from a manufacturer, which doesn’t provide the same convenience as a national retailer.
Working with the manufacturer provides customers with a product backed by rigid painting specifications, on-site inspections, and a comprehensive warranty, ensuring you receive the highest quality and performance.
Painting your property's exterior in a tropical climate like Florida isn’t enough. You have to choose the right exterior coating for the environment.
Traditional name-brand exterior paint doesn’t provide the same level of protection, so exterior coatings specifically designed for sub-tropical climates are a better option.
UCI Paints offers a range of high-quality, specially formulated coatings that will provide long-lasting protection, making it an excellent choice for your painting needs in the tropical climate of Florida. Reach out to our team to learn more and place an order for your home or business.
