Who Makes Australia's Top House Paint ?
Choosing the best house paint is crucial for getting the best result and best protection for the surfaces around your home. Here are some tips on why we recommend certain paint finishes and the Haymes Paint brand for all of your painting projects interior and exterior.
It's essential to have quality paint products that suit the harsh Australian conditions whether you are in the coldest areas or in the heat and humidity of the tropics in the far north of Australia.
For the interior, you will want a paint that is great to apply and has a durable washable finish for easy cleaning.
The Significance of High-Quality Paint.
Australia has many brands of paint to choose from. And we are lucky here that most brands have paint that has a good track record for quality and ease of application.
Quality exterior paint like Haymes Paints have certain features and is formulated to prevent mould growth, keep surfaces clean and have a self priming option for most exterior surfaces.
Quality house paint like Haymes Paint will also carry a guarantee of 10, 15 or even 20 years.
Selecting paint for exteriors that will withstand UV rays, rain, and wind without fading or peeling is crucial, particularly given Australia's varied environment.
Carefully choosing the correct interior paint may enhance lighting, produce a lovely ambiance, and should withstand normal wear and tear. And you will of course want to use a paint that is low splatter and with the use of a quality roller, will go on evenly giving you the most professional finish possible!
The Best Paint Brand Qualities To Look Out For.
Not all paints are made the same. Some of the things to consider when making your paint purchasing decision should be:
- Durability:
Exterior Paint like Haymes Solashield should last for at least 10 years before it starts to fade, become chalky or peel or flake. Check the guarantee on the tin for this information. Note: Guarantees are voided if the correct preparation is not done prior to painting. Yes, Haymes has a chemist who can tell what you have done for prep!
- Coverage:
Most paint will cover in two coats. With the exception of darker colours that may often require a grey undercoat, all paint that is worth it's money will give you great results in two to three coats.
- Finish Options:
Both interior and exterior paints should offer different paint finishes for various surfaces. For example, you can use a low sheen paint on walls but not on doors. A suitable paint for doors would be an enamel in an oil based or an acrylic based finish. Ask us what to use before picking up a can off the shelf.
- Eco friendliness:
LOW VOC formulas are becoming more available as the use of oil base enamels reduces. The Haymes Paint brand offer LOW VOC options within their paint range with their Haymes Expressions Interior Low Sheen highly rated for this feature
- Ease of Application:
With the correct application tools and the use of a high quality paint like Haymes, you will be able to achieve a quality finish the first time. You want to reduce the stress and find painting enjoyable right?
