The Leader in Weatherproof Wall Coatings™

Chinook Home Improvement Centre is Southern Alberta’s authorized dealer for the CHIC® Advanced Coating System. For over 40 years, CHIC’s weatherproof coating has been applied to the exteriors of Canadian homes, restoring them to better-than-new condition while protecting them from the elements with a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish.

Breathable

CHIC® is a breathable coating that helps prevent moisture from becoming trapped inside your wall. Trapped moisture can lead to premature coating failure and expensive internal damage to the wall assembly.

Weatherproof

CHIC® prevents wall seepage from wind-driven rain. Proven in the lab and countless real-life storms, CHIC® is your best defence against the rain.

Repairs Cracks

Several times thicker than paint, the CHIC® coating seals cracks in your substrate where other coatings can not. The material remains flexible over time, so as your walls move and settle, CHIC® stretches to maintain its protective finish and prevent any future cracks.

Dirt/Moss Resistant

Unlike paint, CHIC® leaves a smooth finish that helps prevent airborne pollutants from adhering to the walls. Not only do CHIC® coated walls stay clean longer, they are much easier to clean.

UV Resistant

Proven in the lab and confirmed on thousands of buildings in some of the harshest conditions, CHIC® resists the damaging effects of the sun far better than conventional paints and coatings.

Fire Safe

Tested in compliance with the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) for Flame Front Advancement and Smoke Development, CHIC® achieved a Class ‘A’ fire rating.

Stucco Coating Process

The CHIC® installation procedures have been developed with the knowledge gained from thousands of CHIC® installations performed over 40 years. Our methods ensure maximum durability and performance of the CHIC® Advanced Coating System.

Repair

Before a CHIC® application can begin, it is necessary to correctly repair any physical damage to the substrate. It is also required to resolve any underlying issues that may be causing moisture problems within the building envelope. These include but are not limited to:
