It is very easy to get confused in the variety of materials for decorating a house, all sellers assure that it is their interior paints that are the best. But then it turns out that they completely do not correspond to the written parameters, deteriorate from water or have an intolerable smell. Therefore, here we will list the most widely used types of dyes for interior decoration so that the buyer is not lost in the store when buying suitable products on the eve of a large home repairs.
Why are paints divided into different types?
When we apply the coloring composition to the surface, we get the finest film consisting of three components. It is they who mainly affect the most important characteristics of interior paint. The first substance is a carrier that evaporates shortly after applying the material to the ceiling, furniture or wall. The second element is the pigment responsible for the color. The third component, which is always present in paints, is a binder that allows you to glue small particles of the pigment to the surface. In this review, we divide the paint into types depending on the base.
Types of interior paint:
- Oil paint.
- Water -based PVA -based paint.
- Acrylic water -based paints.
- Alkyd enamel.
- Latex paints.
Such products are made on the basis of Olifa, once it had no competitors and was very popular. Such a paint dries for a very long time, the coating “does not breathe” and highlights an unpleasant aroma for a long time. We need a thorough pre -stripping of the surface, otherwise the resulting beautiful film is swollen. The cost of oil compositions is quite attractive. In addition, oil compositions are safe for health, have a low consumption, they penetrate well into wood and have excellent resistance to chemistry.
The basis of all water-dispersed compositions is ordinary water, which makes them attractive for decoration of a residential building. Polyvinyl acetate compounds are the cheapest variety. There is, both matte and glossy interior water -based paint. This inexpensive and quite high -quality products are used for processing a wall of drywall and wooden structures, plaster, porous materials.
It is not recommended to be painted with these compounds of metal products and glossy facades. The second disadvantage of this interior paint is instability to water, because of this it is recommended to be used for processing walls and ceiling exclusively in dry rooms.
Here, water is also a diluent, but polyacrylate (Methyl-, ethyl and butylcrylates) act as a film-forming substance. Fresh compositions are easy to remove, but after drying the decorative layer is not afraid of moisture. Still, we note that for bathrooms and kitchens it is worth looking for other reliable colors.
In the production of such compounds, alkyd varnishes of two varieties are used – glyftal and pentafal, as well as an organic solvent. This mixture allows you to get a durable and rather beautiful coating after painting, it is recommended to use it for both internal work and on the street. Washing alkyd interior paint tolerates precipitation well, does not erase, normally 
serves in the bathroom, ideal for processing doors, windows, various furniture. It dries quickly, but the solvents release unpleasant odors for about a day, which is a disadvantage.
Excellent qualities are distinguished by modern latex compositions. There are water-dispersion latex paints and acrylic lactosis water-dispersion paints. Acrylate materials are slightly more expensive, but better, such interior paint is almost perfect for kitchens, for processing walls and ceilings in the corridor or bathrooms.
