What is Indoor Wall Paint?
Indoor wall paint typically uses latex as a binding agent, which is why it’s also called latex paint. Paint sold in DIY stores often uses chalk as a binding element, making the bucket of paint heavier and its quality lower, so keep this in mind. Wall paint is, of course, used for painting walls but also ceilings. You can use wall paint to protect your walls or to add a new colour to your room. Wall paint is also used to finish the walls inside your home.
Did you know...
Did you know that indoor wall paints are classified into different categories? For example, there is coverage class and scrub class, each with various grades. This helps you compare wall paints accurately, ensuring you never compare apples with oranges. Always check a wall paint's classification!
Advantages of Professional Wall Paint
Professional wall paints are made with the most durable materials, often more expensive ones.
- High-quality binding agent
- Acrylic or latex base
- Slower drying time
- Higher price
Drawbacks of DIY Wall Paint
DIY products tend to prioritise cost. Producing cheap wall paint often involves cutting costs on raw materials.
- Budget binding agents
- Chalk components
- Fast drying time
- Increased streaks and marks
Advice from the Professional
Cheaper wall paints generally contain a lot of chalk, which provides decent coverage. However, this results in significant streaking and marks due to its fast drying time. Wall paints with high-quality materials are easier to clean and apply. Overall, you’ll need less paint and complete the job quicker.
Painter’s Tip
Before starting, measure the square metres you need to paint. Calculate this by multiplying the length of the surface by its width. Each wall paint typically covers 7.5m2 per litre. With 10 litres of paint, you can cover 75 square metres. Always check if the surface absorbs paint and whether a primer is needed.
Tip from De Verfmenger
Take a moment to consider where you intend to use indoor wall paint. Is it a space prone to stains, like the kitchen? Or are you painting a bedroom where you primarily sleep? It’s also wise to consider your household – do you have kids or pets? Use this information to choose the right type of wall paint.
What Types of Indoor Wall Paint Are There?
There are different types of wall paint, ranging from primer to topcoat and classified by scrub and coverage classes. Below, we outline the types of wall paint available and sold by De Verfmenger.
Primer/Undercoat: Primer for wall paint is also called undercoat. Undercoat wall paint is a thinner paint type used as a primer. It ensures your expensive wall paint doesn’t sink into the pores or get absorbed by an absorbent surface.
Always use a primer on newly plastered walls, as such surfaces are highly absorbent.
Interior Wall Paint: Interior wall paint is used to finish your walls. These paints are always water-based (acrylic) and can be applied directly over primer or wallpaper.
Washable Wall Paint: Washable wall paint is in a league of its own. Wall paint is classified by scrub class, ranging from class 5 to class 1, with class 1 being the best. Class 1 paints allow easier cleaning with a damp cloth without damaging the paint layer, making it more durable. Scrub class ratings are determined via machine tests that involve scrubbing the paint layer with a scouring pad. The longer the paint remains intact, the higher the scrub class score.
What Brands of Indoor Wall Paint Are Available?
Relius: Relius is relatively unknown among private individuals in the Netherlands because it’s mainly used by professional painters. However, it excels in the indoor wall paint category, offering paints suitable for various surfaces, including bathrooms, garages, and paints with coverage class 1 and scrub class 1.
Sikkens: The Sikkens paint brand is renowned among painters for its high-quality lacquers. Their wall paint lineup includes options across different scrub classes and price ranges. For example, the Sikkens Alpha Rezisto Anti-Marks is a scrub class 1 paint that’s easy to clean without leaving streaks.
Sigma: Sigma paint, like Sikkens, is highly regarded in the painting trade for its superior products. Their wall paint lineup includes various types, such as Sigmapearl Clean Matt, an extremely matte interior wall paint.
Pastolex: Pastolex offers excellent value for money. Their wall paints are relatively inexpensive yet deliver top-notch performance. An example is the Pastolex Renovation Wall Paint, which is suitable for mouldy bathroom walls or areas with nicotine stains.
VP: VP stands for Verfmenger Prof, our in-house brand developed in collaboration with professional manufacturers. VP wall paints are high-quality products, all offering coverage class 1, with some even achieving scrub class 1. Our line is sold at customer-friendly prices.
What’s the Difference Between Wall Paint and Latex?
The terms ‘wall paint’ and ‘latex’ are often used interchangeably, which can be confusing. Colloquially, wall paint is also known as latex. Even the term ‘saucing walls’ is frequently used as a synonym for painting with wall paint.
Wall paint and latex essentially mean the same thing. People in central parts of the country often refer to it as 'tex' or 'latex', whereas in the north, the term wall paint is more common. Historically, wall paint was made using latex. Nowadays, latex is only used as a binding agent, and sometimes not at all. Acrylic dispersion has advanced so much over the years that it’s now on par with latex-based wall paints in terms of quality.
Indoor Wall Paint
An indoor wall paint is a water-based paint designed for wall application. There are many types of indoor wall paint, each with unique qualities and features. Importantly, indoor wall paint differs from exterior wall paint, which can sometimes discolour indoors. Always ensure the wall paint is suitable for interior use.
Which Wall Paint is Best?
If you’re searching for the best wall paint, keep a few vital factors in mind. Coverage is crucial for any painter, whether you're a professional or a DIY enthusiast. Top-rated wall paints provide complete coverage in just one coat. High-quality paints contain more pigment and binding agents, resulting in superior coverage. This means you only need one coat, saving time and effort. While the best wall paints may seem more expensive initially, their efficiency and durability make them cost-effective. They provide an unbeatable value-for-money ratio, delivering a top-notch finish that lasts for years. Aim for paints that excel in both coverage and long-term value when choosing the best wall paint.
White Wall Paint
White, 100% pure white wall paint varies across brands due to differences in raw materials. Standard white isn’t always identical; the more titanium added to wall paint, the brighter its appearance.
