Things You Must Know About House Painting In Toronto


We all know how exciting it is for every individual to give their houses a complete makeover with the help of exciting color combinations through the use of premium paints. Painting the house gives it a complete overhaul making it look fresh and breathing a new life. But what people find difficult is to choose between several options of paint. If one doesn’t have experience it will be difficult for him to understand which paint would settle perfectly at what place. Now just to make it clear if you are left to choose between enamel paint and acrylic paint, one will hardly have an idea which one works for them and which won’t settle that better. We at Mas cons have great experience in house painting in Toronto and we would be glad to help you choose the right thing and make your house look glamorous.

Paint comes with different options and in various categories so let us further understand which paint serves what purpose and which paint will suit your requirements.

Acrylic paints

We can break this paint into three main parts, one is the pigment, the second is the binder, and the solvent. The pigment could better be referred to as color, which binder is responsible to hold the color once it dries. Solvent makes sure how efficiently the pigment and the binder deliver when the paint finally touches the surface. The solvent in this paint is water which evaporates once the paint touches the surface, leaving the paint behind.

Enamel paints

 It is also a solvent-based paint. The basic difference is the oil which is used instead of water as a solvent in this paint. They are mostly used in exterior painting. But over the years their popularity has declined significantly. This is mainly because they take a longer time to dry and also possess a very strong smell.

Latex paints

Contrary to its name, there is no latex in the paint. It is very similar to acrylic paint, both having water as the solvent but the latex paint according to most of the interior painters in Toronto dries much faster and is more affordable. But mind you, never use latex paint on rough surfaces.

Primer

It is not painted but is rather a very essential thing. It is known to cover the imperfection where the paint has to be applied. Also one will require fewer coats of paint if the primer is applied to the surface. It makes the surface better for the paint to settle down properly.

When should you use each paint

Not let us further understand when exactly we should be using a particular paint.

Acrylic paint projects

These can be used at commercial sites where the traffic is generally high. They are one of the most durable paint performing much better than their counterparts. They are also highly UV resistant.

Enamel paint projects

They work perfect for hard surfaces and are mostly used for exterior painting. They are also easy to clean which is very beneficial at times.

Latex paint projects

These paints dry much faster and are pretty affordable. They are used widely for government projects where the building needs to be back in use quickly.

Primer usage

It is mainly used before the paint is applied to make sure there are no imperfections left on the surface. Also, it supports the paint to settle down on the wall perfectly.
