A Rundown of Paints for a Variety of Exterior Surfaces
The exterior of your Reno home is not limited to the outer walls. It also includes the extended area and all the wooden and metal work over it. And therefore, not just wall paint is sufficient for painting requirements of the exterior of your house. Rather, it is much more – thus different kinds of paints are to be used. Out of the various available options of ultra exterior paints, four types of paints that are a must for your Reno home décor are mentioned below.
Acrylic Exterior Paint
This is to be used only for exterior painting. It is also suitable for wooden surfaces, fences and on aluminum and steel surfaces. However, it should be used on a surface that has been properly cleaned and there are no remains of earlier work. This is water based paint with great adhesive quality. And for the best results, it should not be mixed with any type of solvent or paint. It dries up quickly and has almost negligible odor.
Acrylic Latex Exterior Paints
These are to be used on a prefinished surface. It is also water based and dries up quickly. It is quite similar to the acrylic based semi gloss paint, but as an added advantage, it is non-chalking and also blister resistant. It can be used on wooden surface, but not on the floor. It is best when applied on vertical surface.
Ceramic Paint
It can be used both for exterior as well as interior painting requirement. It does not require a primer and is best to be used for surface that requires extra protection from severities of weather and other changes. It is stain resistant and is also resistant to natural wear and tear. It can also be used for both fresh work as well as for repainting work. However, it is suitable to use for repainting, only when the earlier work involved water based paints.
Furniture Paint
This is also suitable for interior as well as exterior painting. This is a quality paint for an ultra exterior painting requirement. It can be used for dining tables as well as for lawn tables. It is also water based and is environment friendly. It dries up quickly without emitting a hazardous odour.
The aforementioned paints are the best ultra exterior paints for enhancing the look and décor of the exterior of your Reno home. Similarly, there are several options for ultra interior paints to give a new look to the interior of your home. Discuss any of these options with your Reno painting contractor should you have any question as to whether or not a paint is appropriate for the intended purpose.
