Paints and latex

If you want to transform your home both inside and outside, the easiest and most accessible way to do so is by painting the walls and facade. With a new color, your house will immediately take on a completely different look. You will be surprised by how much of a change can be achieved just by choosing the right paint in the appropriate color.

The new color of your home's walls can give the interior the desired atmosphere. When you have the best interior paints at your disposal, everything seems possible. A small room can visually become more spacious, dark spaces can gain more light and become cozier, and low ceilings can appear higher and vice versa.

If you know the characteristics of the rooms well, have defined your expectations and needs accurately, it's time to choose the right interior or exterior paint. Keep in mind that paint not only enhances the appearance but also protects the walls and ceilings from external influences.

That's why it's essential not to rely on luck when choosing wall paint but to focus on the quality guaranteed by established manufacturers on the market, which you can find in our paint and latex catalogs.

So, let's start with the difference between interior and exterior paints.

Both are intended to beautify our homes, but they are not interchangeable. The main difference between them lies in the type of resin and additives used. For example, from exterior paint, the customer expects good protection against changing weather conditions and moisture, resistance to UV rays, and aggressive airborne pollutants.

For these reasons, exterior paints have the following characteristics:

• They contain resins that make them more flexible to temperature changes, which can cause the paint to contract or expand.
• The additives in exterior paints are designed to meet high requirements, including color resistance, strong adhesion to rough surfaces, protection against mold and moisture.
• The additives and resins in exterior paints contain and release a higher amount of volatile organic compounds compared to latex paint.
• There is less variety of finishing options compared to latex paint.
• Breathability.

On the other hand, interior paints have the following characteristics:

• Interior paints resist scratching and scuff marks.
• They are easy to clean from dirt, often requiring only soap and water.
• They are more environmentally friendly and do not release toxic substances.
• They have little to no odor or a very mild one that quickly dissipates.
• Some interior paints provide protection against moisture and mold, making them ideal for humid spaces.
• Interior paints offer a greater variety of finishes: matte, eggshell, satin, semi-gloss, gloss, and many types of artificial effects.

Why is it important to use each type of paint for its intended purpose?

Considering their specific characteristics and purposes for different surfaces, there is no reason to use latex paint outdoors and exterior paint indoors. In some cases, this can be hazardous to your health. The resins in exterior paint, at the very least, make it unsuitable for interior surfaces.

Conversely, if you use latex on exterior walls, it will have a short lifespan. Even the highest quality latex paints will not withstand temperature changes and UV rays. And because interior paints contain hard resins, they will crack and peel in truly hot or cold weather, instead of expanding and contracting.

If you use latex paint with no biocides on exterior walls, you'll have to live with the consequences of mold, mildew, and fungi quickly forming on the surface. But if you use exterior paint indoors, you'll automatically introduce biocides into your home.

So, don't waste any more time and browse through our catalogs of paints and latex. With us, you'll definitely find exactly what you need to turn your home into your dream. We'll be happy to tint your desired color on the spot and provide advice if you have any doubts.

Where to start when choosing paint?

Before making your choice from our latex and paint store, you need to think about the space you want to paint. Does the room receive a lot of light or is it rather dark? Do you want to make it brighter, taller with a neutral color, or do you want to bring more vibrant atmosphere with bright, fresh colors? Where is the room located? Is it a high or low traffic area? Is it exposed to a lot of moisture?

A few shine options:

• Matte Paint: Great for hiding imperfections on surfaces, as it absorbs light. Provides a soft, smooth finish. Suitable for low-traffic areas like bedrooms and offices.
• Eggshell Paint: This type of paint is easier to clean than matte paint and, therefore, a popular choice. It offers a low sheen finish. Suitable for low-traffic areas.
• Satin Paint: Satin paint is more durable and easy to wash. It has a soft, glossy finish. Most people like its elegant appearance. Suitable for high-traffic areas like children's rooms and living rooms.
• Semi-Gloss Paint: This type of paint offers a glossier finish than satin. It withstands regular cleaning and is highly durable. A great choice for high-traffic areas such as hallways, living rooms, and children's rooms.

Choosing the right paint: matte or semi-matte?

• Fully matte paint is suitable for everyday living spaces and bedrooms because it reproduces colors softly and does not emphasize surface imperfections.
• Semi-matte paint is suitable for surfaces that require frequent cleaning, such as kitchens and hallways. It reproduces colors more intensively.

When deciding which type of sheen to use, keep in mind that the stronger the sheen, the darker and more intense the color will be. Additionally, paint with a strong gloss reflects light and makes imperfections on your walls more noticeable. So, before applying this type of paint, prepare the walls by making them extra smooth.

If you're looking for paint that covers excellently, dries quickly, doesn't have a strong odor, and doesn't pose health risks, you can confidently choose from our interior paints and latex. They meet all safety requirements, manufacturers guarantee excellent durability, and you can get them from us at a great price with fast delivery to all corners of the country.

To make your choice easier, we'll introduce you to the characteristics of different types of interior paints.

All the advantages of latex for walls at a glance

Real latex is no longer contained in most latex paints since real latex is relatively expensive. As a substitute, more affordable binding agents like synthetic resins are used. However, their properties are similar.

The content of synthetic resin makes various types of latex flexible and wear-resistant. Therefore, you can confidently paint rooms that have high hygiene requirements, such as children's rooms, kitchens, living rooms, and corridors with good latex.

Water and especially water vapor cannot penetrate through latex paint. However, the wall can breathe outward, preventing mold from forming. The resistance to rubbing is also relatively high. When the paint is dry, water simply slides on the surface. That's why latex coating is used in bathrooms but not directly in the shower splash zones.

Even if you choose inexpensive latex, it will adhere very well to most surfaces. Moreover, it can create a high-gloss finish. This way, with different shades of latex for walls, you can achieve a "lively," modern color.
