How to choose the paints and varnishes

There is a world of colors that we are offered to beautify home and make it exactly the way we dreamed of, or to freshen up a room and "rejuvenate" or just to create special effects on a wall.There are many types of varnishes and paints available on the market: some, like tempera , are best suited for service areas; others, such as water-based paints , are indicated for the interior. It is important to know about them in order to choose the paints and varnishes.

The tempera products are quite cheap and not very resistant to moisture that, with time, they tend to "chalk". They are therefore often used for the service areas, such as the garage or basement. They have a special weave that makes them soft and warm and some architects prefer them even in the most elegant always having the foresight to avoid its use in environments moist.



The paints are distinguished and classified according to laboratory tests that detect the was ability and are divided into: - breathable, suitable for environments that can occasionally develop condensation because they leave the wall to breathe and prevent the formation of mold. They are used for bathrooms, kitchens, ceilings and environments that do not require a particularly high-quality finish - washable, make the opaque walls and smooth and can be cleaned with a clean cloth slightly moistened. They are suitable for all environments except those excessively humid;

The ecological colors are those which generally contain only natural substances. The egg is used as a binder, while the pigments are made ​​from colored earth: the blue algae, yellows than flour. The temperate a vegetable glue, which is not moldy, they are economic as well as ecological and very easy to use, however, are not water resistant and suitable only in dry environments. In areas subject to moisture or strong temperature we recommend the use of lime-based natural that you can apply, however, only on walls of similar composition. The ecological paints have the advantage of being able to live in environments immediately after their application, as they have no smell or produce toxic fumes.
