Painting your house is a big job. When you have to paint the ceilings, it makes the job that much harder. When you are getting ready to paint your ceiling, you want to know you are doing it right so you don’t have to do it again any time soon. L.W. Winslow Painting, Inc. is here to talk all about ceiling paint and what you need to know before you get started on this big project.
Difference Between Ceiling Paint & Regular Paint
There are a few differences between ceiling paint and the paint you would normally use on your walls.
Higher Viscosity: When paint has a higher viscosity, it means that it is thicker and less likely to have problems with drips. Painting your ceiling can be a mess when you consider the dripping problems. These drips also look bad and are difficult to fix if you don’t notice them before the paint dries. Ceiling paint is designed to drip less.
Hides Stains: There are a couple rooms in your house that have problems with stains on the ceiling like the bathroom and the kitchen. Wall paint doesn’t do a good job of hiding these stains. The benefit of using thicker, ceiling paint is the ability it has to hide any unsightly stains that are on your ceiling.
Should Ceiling Paint Always be Flat & White?
Most people will choose white paint for their ceilings or a color that is neutral and very close to white. However, some designers will try to make a statement in the space by painting the ceiling a different color. When your ceiling is painted white, it often allows the eyes to make their way upward and make the room feel much larger than if you choose darker colors for the ceiling. Any finish other than flat is usually discouraged for your ceiling. You don’t want the ceiling to detract from the other design choices in the room. Any finish other than flat will be much more visible on your ceiling than it is on the walls.
Is Ceiling Paint Worth It?
In the end, when you think about the task at hand with painting your ceiling, purchasing ceiling paint to help the process go smoother is worth it. When it comes to your house, going the extra mile will always pay off. Your end result will be beautiful and you will be glad you bought the right product to get the job done. Your results will be seamless.
