Different types of paints to use in wall painting

With the advancement of science and technology, we have seen advancement in almost every product found in the market including paint. Today, we have an array of options to choose from to paint our house walls. We can now choose a variety of wall paint colors, textures, and shades.

But, these options have made us confused as to which paint type will look the best in our house and meet the requirements. Wall paint should be able to give more than just a visual appeal. They should be able to stay strong under the influence of weather, prevent termite attacks, be water resistant, and much more.

Here are some paint types that will help you figure out the right kind of paint for your home:

Royal Luxury Emulsion Semi-Gloss

Royal Luxury Emulsion Semi-Gloss is a type of paint that you can choose to get a sheen on your house walls. It will add an elegant touch to your wall. It is stain and water resistant which makes it easier to clean. This is why they are highly used in painting kitchens and bathroom walls.

Premium Emulsion

Premium Emulsion paint is also known as plastic paint or interior emulsion paint. The water based paint is washable and durable and generally, comes in categories. One of its popular categories is Premium Emulsion paint. This is a premium paint formulated purely by acrylic based emulsion. It gives away smooth velvet finish to your home walls. Additionally, it is stain resistant, washable, have excellent brush ability and flow.

Acrylic Distemper

Acrylic Distemper is a type of distemper which can be applied to the plaster, asbestos, and walls. It is washable and dries within just 2-3 hours. It is also an economical option to go for when painting your walls.

Royal Luxury Emulsion Gloss

Royal luxury emulsion gloss is a wonderful paint option for your wall if you want silky, glowing and luxurious looking walls. It comes with antifungal and antibacterial shield that prevents the walls from fungal and bacterial growth. It is also highly durable as well as washable.

Tractor Emulsion

Tractor Emulsion paints are primarily water based paint, and they are a smart upgrade of distempers. Along with that, their cost is also close to distemper. They give out a smooth emulsion finish that lasts for around 3-4 years avoiding the need of repainting the walls every year. It is also available in a wider range of colors and shades.

Matte paint

It is one of the most common types of paint used in the interiors of the wall. It doesn’t give any shine to the walls which make it perfect for ceilings and walls where you don’t need visual distractions. It is quite simple to apply. However, they may take more than one coat to create a solid color.

Matte Enamel

Matte enamel is similar to matte paint; however, they are more durable. Matte enamel is also easier to clean and needs minimum retouching which gives a huge advantage, particularly, when you have children around the house. It is a recommended paint for kitchen walls, as cleaning of the walls is easier. It gives similar visual appeal to matte paint, and also you can apply it in the same manner.

We got Earl and his team to completely redo our main and upstairs level. Baseboards, window and door trims, as well as paint the entire house, kitchen and bathroom vanity’s. Him and his team showed up on time, completely masked the house in 3 days and completed the work in the time quoted. Very helpful with ideas and problem solving. Earl’s carpenter also came in to do the wood work around the house, also part of the quote with very competitive pricing (best price out of 3 quotes even with extra work added on). Will hire Earl for all my future inside and outside paint jobs. Thanks again guys, you did an incredible job.

Earl and his crew did a great job painting the trim on our home. There were challenges in trying to reach the height in some very tight spaces, however Earl provided a solution that no-one else had identified that was efficient, effective and the job was done at a very fair price. We would highly recommend.

Earl did a great job painting our place. We were on a rush since we wanted to get the place painted and the ceiling updated (we wanted to go from a popcorn texture to flat) before moving in and he did a great job accommodating time to finalize the job within the required time with an excellent result. I recommend his services 100%.

We hired Earl and his crew to paint the baseboards & walls of our basement. He is very good at answering emails and texts. Also is punctual when meeting for quotes and doing the work. I specifically wanted our baseboards lacquered and NOT brush or roller painted. It cost more, but the results speak for themselves. The basement was left clean and the furniture well covered. Great work from this company. Would recommend

Recently Earl painted the exterior of our house. The structure was very challenging and needed an enormous amount of prep work. Earl and his crew showed up every day on time and went full tilt for 4 days to get all the prep and painting done. The paint was all brushed and rolled.They were very professional and it was obvious that they take pride in their work.I did have trouble deciding on the colours and after a couple of stressful months, I followed up with a colour consultant that Earl recommended. It was money well spent and we are very pleased with how it turned out.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl and his crew.

Earl and his team helped me dramatically improve the interior of a recently purchased 1960 Bungalow. They prepped and painted the main level completely (ceiling, walls, windows, door jams, etc.) and did some painting in basement as well. Easy to work with from the start to finish. Great job, on time, and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend Earl’s Paintworks. I will most likely be using their services again soon!

Earl is the best in the business! We hired Earl to paint the exterior of our 106 year-old heritage home that was in disrepair. Our house is a craftsman bungalow that required highly detailed workmanship. Because of the uniqueness of the house, and its heritage value, we were nervous to hire the job out to just anyone. We met with a number of companies and Earl's Paintworks stood tall above the rest. We loved that Earl was an owner/operator and knew after talking to him that he'd take great care with our beloved home. We weren't wrong! Earl and Jeremy were meticulous - sanding every nook and cranny to ensure a perfect finish that would stand the test of time. We wanted a tri-colour scheme to show off the home's craftsmanship, which required a lot of taping, cutting, and intricate work. Our neighbours would stop by to compliment Earl and Jeremy - blown away by the precision and quality of their work. Both my fiancé and I were sad to see them leave. Earl and Jeremy had become fast friends, always making time to stop and visit with us (despite putting in long days of hard labour). Couldn't recommend them enough! If you are looking for a painter, do yourself a favour, and stop here.

We recently hired Earl's Paintworks to repaint the entire interior of a newly-purchased home and could not be more pleased with the quality of the work and exceptional service provided from start to finish. We were on a very tight timeline & Earl (the owner) and Jeremy showed up ready to work 30 minutes after we took possession of the house. They put in long hours to finish the job in only 8.5 days, despite the fact that it was a massive project (3 storey house with over 30 windows/doors to paint around and some 20ft ceilings). The care they took to cover our hardwood floors, carpeting and cabinetry was remarkable - not a drop of paint left anywhere it didn't belong.Earl was truly a pleasure to work with, responded to our questions in a timely & friendly fashion, and provided knowledgeable (and realistic) advice on different finishes and colour options. He even went above and beyond to point out some small repairs that needed to be addressed around the house which was helpful to us as new owners. We had 4 different companies quote on the job and chose Earl's Paintworks based on a gut feeling that Earl was the right choice. Very happy with our decision - so much so that we're hoping to have them back this summer to do the exterior of our house as well.We would recommend Earl's Paintworks to anyone without hesitation. If you're looking for a hardworking, locally-owned company to do an efficient, professional, super high quality job, this is it!

We wanted the interior and doors repainted in our home in preparation for selling. We obtained a couple of quotes from painters. We ended up choosing Earl due to our positive interactions with him.This is a small but very professional company. It was good to work with a smaller company where the person painting your home is the actual owner and therefore, someone who took full responsibility for the work. Earl was very helpful with colour suggestions. He was easy to communicate with via both emails, phone calls and text. Earl was a perfectionist. He finished our 2 level 2000 sq ft home in about 6 full days. He came a few weeks later to do the exterior doors (garage and entry) when the weather was warmer.I would not hesitate to recommend Earl's Paintworks.
