Choosing the Right Paint for the Job

Different paints are designed for different surfaces and conditions.

Interior paints such as vinyl matt finishes are commonly used on walls and ceilings to provide an even, washable finish. Exterior coatings such as Sandtex masonry paints are formulated to handle weather exposure.

Specialist coatings are used where additional performance is required. For example, intumescent coatings help protect steel structures in fire-rated environments, while metal primers such as red oxide help prevent corrosion before top coats are applied.

Using the right tools also helps achieve a better finish. Rollers are commonly used for large surfaces, while brushes are used for edges, corners and detailed work.

FAQ’s:

What’s the difference between trade paint and standard retail paint?

Trade paints are typically formulated with higher pigment levels and better coverage, allowing decorators to achieve a more consistent finish with fewer coats.

When should a metal primer like red oxide be used?

Red oxide primer is commonly applied to bare steel or metal surfaces before painting to help prevent rust and improve adhesion of the top coat.

What is intumescent paint used for?

Intumescent coatings are designed to expand when exposed to high temperatures, helping protect structural steel in fire-rated environments.

Why are masking films and papers used when decorating?

Masking materials protect surfaces such as floors, windows and fittings from paint splashes while decorating work is carried out.
