What Type Of Paint To Use

The most basic types of paint for homes are oil-based and water-based paints. Oil-based paints are durable and resistant to moisture, but they have more VOCs and require solvents for cleanup. Water-based paints, also known as latex or acrylic, are fast-drying, easy to clean, and environmentally friendly, but they may not adhere well to some surfaces. Different types of paint have different finishes, such as matte, gloss, or semi-gloss, that affect the appearance and durability of the paint.

Environmentally Friendly Options We Offer

Sustainable paint is often made with natural or recycled materials and is free of harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is also produced using environmentally responsible manufacturing processes that minimize waste and emissions.

Water-based paints are typically made with water as the primary solvent, which makes them easier to clean up and more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints, which use petrochemical solvents.

Primer is vital, especially if you’re painting on a raw surface or if you’re painting a lighter color over a darker one.

The Number of Coats You Will Need

Usually, for any project, you will need at least two coats of paint, or more if you are going from a darker to a lighter color. Paint a primer coat first to try and cover up the darker hue and give the lighter one a base to really shine.
