How to choose a wall paint and what to pay attention to?

The quality of the chosen paint depends on the degree of resistance of the coating to aggressive environmental factors.

When selecting a paint, you are guided by the following criteria:

For which works the paint is intended? Paints for walls can be exterior and interior (interior). Compounds of the first type have an increased resistance to rain and sun burn.
What kind of room will be painted? For the bathroom or kitchen, special types of paints with increased resistance to abrasion, moisture and high temperatures are used. Latex and silicone emulsions have these properties. Bright and abrasion-resistant acrylic paints are suitable for the bedroom and living room. Water emulsion compositions are environmentally safe, so they are perfect for children's rooms.
What texture to choose? According to this criterion, all paints are matte, semi-matte, semi-gloss and glossy. Matte do not shine, so perfectly hide surface defects. Semi-matte have a subtle sheen and are highly resistant to abrasion, so they can safely be washed. Semi-gloss emulsions are washable, so they are great for children's rooms, kitchens and bathrooms. Glossy paint is the glossiest and most abrasion-resistant, but you have to work with it carefully, because it emphasizes all the irregularities of the surface.

Also, when choosing a paint, pay attention to such an indicator as hiding power. It depends on it, whether the emulsion can paint over the old layer of coating. The higher the value, the fewer coats of paint you have to apply to get a perfectly even tone.

Another important indicator is abrasion resistance. This characteristic is especially important if the walls will be painted in a room with high traffic.
