Paint: 3 things to consider before buying
Choosing the right type of paint is crucial for achieving the desired finish and durability. Emulsion paints are ideal for interior walls and ceilings due to their quick drying time and easy application. For exterior surfaces, opt for masonry paint, which withstands weather conditions. If you're painting wood or metal, use gloss or satinwood paint for a durable finish. Always check the label for specific suitability to ensure the paint meets your project needs.
The finish of the paint affects both appearance and functionality. Matt finishes offer a smooth, non-reflective look, perfect for hiding imperfections on walls. Satin finishes provide a subtle sheen, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways or kitchens where you might need to wipe surfaces clean. For a more reflective surface, choose gloss finishes, which are durable and great for woodwork like skirting boards and doors. Consider where you'll be applying the paint to select the most appropriate finish.
To avoid unnecessary trips to the store or leftover paint, calculate how much you'll need before purchasing. Measure the height and width of each wall to determine square footage. Most paint cans indicate coverage per litre; typically, one litre covers about 10 square metres with one coat. Factor in whether you'll need multiple coats or if you're using a primer, as this will affect the total amount required. Buying just enough ensures cost-effectiveness and reduces waste.
