Emulsion Paint for Wall

Emulsion paint is a water-based paint that is infused with acrylic or vinyl resins making the paint more durable against wear and tear. They are water and chemical resistant and the thickness of the paint makes it easy to apply and provides a smooth finish. Their resistance to water helps them protect the walls and makes them easy to clean.

Where to Use

Emulsion paint can be applied to both interior as well as exterior walls. Their resistance to stains makes them great for use in kitchens and bathrooms. They can be applied on most surfaces including wood panelling and papered walls.

Lustre Designer Wall Paint

Lustre is a solvent-based interior wall paint and is called so because of the lustrous sheen that it provides when rolled on the walls. As it is solvent-based, it develops a hard, tough film when it dries making it highly durable. It provides protection to the wall and as it is water repellent, can be washed down or wiped down very easily. Lustre painted walls are very easy to maintain and have high resistance to moisture, fungus and mould.

Where to Use

Lustre paint is more expensive than distemper and emulsion and you may want to use it sparingly. They make a room look classy and elegant and are perfect for rooms that are used for entertaining. Since they are very resistant to stains, you won’t have to worry about guests leaving dirty finger marks on your beautiful walls.

Where to Use

Texture paints are great for statement walls that stand out. Usually, people prefer a hall colour combination with one textured wall, leaving the other three walls in a colour that complements or highlights the textured wall.

Enamel Paint for Wall

Enamel paint is a solvent-based paint that is tough and durable. It is the perfect choice for spaces that have to deal with a lot of wear and tear. It has a hard, glossy finish that can take even rough, constant cleaning and still look good.  Surfaces painted with enamel paints are easy to clean, stain, and damage-resistant due to their rich and high gloss finish.

Where to Use

They can be painted on to almost any kind of surface. Their high resistance to heat and moisture and steam make them a perfect wall colour for kitchens and bathrooms that are exposed to high humidity and temperatures. They are also ideal for exterior walls, balcony doors, garage doors and gates as they can take any kind of beating from natural elements.

Finishes for Room Colour Paint

When selecting paint for your walls, you need to consider the different finishes and how they can be used effectively to enhance your décor.

Semi-gloss and Gloss Paint for Wall Colour

This highly reflective paint is usually solvent-based and is used in high maintenance areas of the home. It is resistant to stains and scratches and can be washed easily but it doesn’t hide imperfections well.

Where to Use

They are good for spaces like kitchens, bathrooms, utility areas and exteriors that need protection and ease of maintenance. As they are highly reflective, they are sometimes used to highlight woodwork and cupboard doors.
