Wondering what makes a high-quality paint? Continue reading to learn five things to look for when choosing paint for your project.
1. Ensure superior washability
Washability is key to a long-lasting, clean and fresh paint look. When making sure your paint has superior washability, you can enjoy the ease of wiping dirt off, scruff resistance and the elimination of any visible marks or shearing after washing.
2. Look for exceptional coverage
Coverage is essential—for a flawless look, you need a highly pigmented formula that’s easy to apply, provides a solid block out and ensures great application.
3. A stainproof barrier is a must
There’s nothing worse than visible stains and scruffs on your walls, which is why it’s so important to invest in quality. Take Haymes Paint’s expressions range for example. While it provides a stainproof barrier to resist stains, it also allows for easy wash-off. Whether your walls have been freshly painted or going on a couple of years, this stainproof barrier will assist in keeping your walls looking like new.
4. Avoid fumes or offensive odour
Your health and your family’s health are things you can’t compromise on. Paint can often contain chemicals and fumes, which can cause both short-term and long-term health effects. For a healthier home, make sure the paint you choose doesn’t contain any fumes or offensive odours. Haymes Paint’s blends are more than 99% VOC-free and emit no fumes or offensive odour during or after application—making the perfect choice for occupied spaces.
5. Mould and mildew protection
Areas with poor ventilation or high humidity can often attract mould and mildew, which can cause health issues and damage existing paint—causing it to chip, peel, and bubble. When it comes to bringing your dream home to life, we love opting for Haymes’ expressions range as it can combat this with their seven-year guarantee against mould and mildew growth.
With these five things in mind, you can enjoy uniform, clean and long-lasting painted walls. If you’d like to enquire about using top-of-the-line Haymes Paint for your next build, please get in touch with our friendly team here.
