Here’s What You Didn’t Know About Waterproof Painting!

 

In today’s modern era, you could come across countless innovations that have taken place in every industry. Likewise, the paint industry, too, has made significant progress by introducing numerous technologies with exceptional features in the paints- such as moisture damage, washable paints, paints that kill germs, eco-friendly paints as well as waterproof paints. 

Waterproof paints had earlier built a lousy reputation for themselves. This was, since waterproof paints generated a high concentration of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which led to people facing acute symptoms such as headaches & dizziness. Eventually, the painting industry worked hard to lower the levels of VOC making them safe for people. 

With low VOC levels, waterproof paints are now environment friendly. Available in different varieties of colours and purposes, we bring to you some of the most commonly used waterproof paints can be easily found in the market:

• Masonry Paint: This is mostly used to paint concrete & bricks. It has a blend of ceramic and latex properties which is mainly used for external painting.

• Epoxy Paint: Derived from hard plastic resin, Epoxy paints are 5 times thicker than other floor paints. So, it is widely used for commercial and industrial paint jobs.

• Acrylic Paint: Available in different finish styles such as matte, gloss & satin, acrylic paint is highly recommended for interior paint jobs. It comes with both a latex & a non-latex base. 

Now that you know the varied types of waterproof paints, let’s understand their benefits too, shall we?

1. Lasts For A Longer Period

The contents in waterproof paint make it exceptionally long-lasting in nature. You needn’t worry about repainting your home for the next 5 years once you apply waterproof paints, whether it is your exterior or the interior surface. Moreover, with the assistance of a professional paint job, this period can extend to 10 whole years! Now, isn’t that a great deal?

When you have waterproof paint on your walls, there’s no reason to worry about the stains. If you follow a proper cleaning procedure, you can easily erase the stains off. You need to take note that stronger soaps can damage the quality and efficiency of the paint. Thus, you must use mild soaps along with some warm water to clean the walls. 

3. Zero Effects On Health

Waterproofing helps to create a healthier environment for your family at home. It only takes a couple of days for molds to grow on a damp surface. Prolonged mold exposure can cause you or your loved ones diseases such as hay fever, asthma, and other medical conditions.

4. Paint Elasticity Leading To Less Damage 

The density of the waterproofing particles within the paint makes the paint elastic in nature. Unlike in the case of other paints, waterproof paints won’t split as easily, as it can easily expand and contract. It also keeps the moisture out and prevents peeling. Thus, they enhance the life of paint on your walls. 

5. UV-Resistant

UV resistance technology in your waterproof paints acts as a strong barrier between your walls and the harmful rays of  the sun.
