Does the Quality of Your Exterior Paint Really Matter?
It doesn’t take an expert eye to tell if a painter is good at what they do. Differences in quality of craftsmanship are pretty obvious. An experienced hand creates a smooth, clean surface, with crisp lines and perfect edges that are easy to appreciate. But, are you as convinced that the quality of the paint itself matters? Many homeowners miss this, and leap for bargain options. We’re all about getting a good deal when appropriate, but it’s absolutely essential to invest in paint that will perform as you need it to, and look phenomenal all the while.What Makes Higher-End Paint Products So Much Better?
Similar to your favorite restaurant, it all comes down to the quality and blend of ingredients. If we deconstruct your paint, here’s what you’ll find:
- Solvent - Liquid that ensures the binders and pigments stay in a suspended state
- Binders - Come together to create the paint film as the solvent evaporates
- Additives - Determine drying time and other features of the curing process
- Pigment - This is essentially the color of your paint
- Color retention - Keep the color you fell in love with rather than watch it evolve into something else
- Longevity - For example, how does exterior painting every 8-10 years instead of every 3-4 sound?
- Durability - More effective protection against UV rays, rain and snow, temperature fluctuations, pests, and more
- Ease of Application - Efficient coverage translates to more product savings
- Enduring Value - Quality shows!
