Element Guard®
It seems like this summer has been wetter than usual — planning outdoor paint jobs can be challenging, especially when at the mercy of the weather. Element Guard offers early rain resistance, allowing you to apply it up to 60 minutes before rainfall. Additionally, with a low-temperature application threshold of 35°F, this paint extends your painting season, giving you more flexibility.
Benjamin Moore’s Element Guard provides protection against wind-driven rain, excessive humidity, and other harsh weather conditions, all while delivering stunning exterior color and eye-catching curb appeal. Element Guard extends the typical painting season and is able to be applied in more extreme temperatures than your typical paint product.
