What characteristics should paint for large surfaces have?
The most important characteristic is the paint’s coverage, as a large surface will be painted. It is not only the price-to-quality ratio that matters, but also the paint’s coverage and price. A major advantage of investment paint, such as Nobiles Nobimal, is that it does not cost much, while covering considerable surfaces. The paint’s coverage is 10 m² per 1 litre of paint. It is worth choosing a slightly cheaper paint, provided that it offers high coverage, good opacity and vapour permeability. This decision will help save some money, which is almost always desirable during larger renovations.
Another important issue when painting a large surface, such as an entire apartment, is the paint’s versatility. It should be suitable for various types of surfaces. Nobiles Nobimal meets this requirement with ease: it can be used to paint cement-lime, plasterboard and plaster surfaces. Walls previously painted with emulsion paints are not a problem either.
The type of paint for large surfaces and the method of painting a wall
It is quite possible that painting a large surface will require different painting methods, due to the heterogeneous type of surface. For this reason, it is worth choosing a type of paint that can be applied with a brush, roller or sprayer. Changing the application method is always easier than changing the type of paint. The investment paint mentioned above is also highly rated in this respect and is described as an economical paint.
Choosing investment paint – and the package size
During painting, more paint is often used than originally planned. Excessive paint loss is a common occurrence. In such situations, paints available in packages of various capacities are very helpful. It is always better to buy an additional 3 litres of paint that will be used than 10 litres for which we will have no use and which will merely be an unnecessary expense.
