How to select Exterior colours?
- Select a color that complements the home’s brick, siding, stone, or roofing.
- Opt for a color scheme that harmonizes with the neighborhood. If necessary, check with the homeowners’ association for any color restrictions.
- Since color can vary depending on the time of day, paint a section of the house where the body, trim, and accent colors can be viewed together. Then observe the colors throughout the day to see how they look.
Why paint is Blistering and How to fix it?
This issue appears as bubbles or blisters in the paint and is usually caused by heat, moisture, or a combination of both. If not corrected, it can eventually lead to peeling. Causes:
- Painting in direct sunlight or on a surface that is too hot.
- Applying oil-based paint over a damp or wet surface.
- Exposing a fresh paint film to dew, high humidity, or rain.
- Moisture passing through interior walls from common household sources such as bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms.
Why paint is Cracking and How to fix it?
This issue involves the paint film cracking through at least one coat, eventually leading to paint failure. Initially, hairline cracks appear, progressing to paint chips falling off the surface, or flaking, and severe cracks. If left untreated, complete paint failure can occur. Causes:
- Over-thinning the paint or spreading it too thin.
- Poor surface preparation, especially when paint is applied to bare wood without priming.
- Painting under cool or windy conditions where the paint dries too fast.
- On surfaces that have been painted many times, the bottom layers of paint lose their flexibility and cannot expand and contract with temperature and humidity changes.
What type of paint can be touched up?
Generally, flat and matte paints offer better touch-up performance. Flat paints are an ideal choice for offices or apartments where frequent repainting is common. They are also a good choice for ceilings due to their low reflectivity.
