When it comes to painting the outside of a house, many homeowners immediately start thinking about what will match their preferred aesthetic style. This is of course important, but one should also carefully consider the surrounding environment. Depending on the local temperature and climate, some paints might be more suitable. For example, acrylic paints are built with special chemicals that make them extremely elastic. This enables them to contract or expand if the weather gets hot or cold.
Latex is cheaper than acrylic and is simple to apply, on account of its water foundation. It also contracts and expands with varying temperatures, though it is not as durable as acrylic paint. Oil paints are generally not allowed to be used indoors because of their strong fumes but glide smoothly on outdoor surfaces and are more resistant to shrinkage. Our knowledgeable techs at Lowco Roofing can explain the unique distinctions between paint types.
