What is Permanent Paint and how can it Improve Your Home?

For the stressed home or commercial building owner who is sizing up the damage that a summer of heavy rain or a winter of snow and ice has done to the appearance of their building, it’s likely that many have wondered if someone will ever invent a permanent paint. Actually, this can already be found in the market-place. There are ceramic paints that look exactly like ordinary paint, but which last like vinyl. Although these products look like paint, they have a very different composition. Ordinary paint is largely made of water, while ceramic paints are plasticized.

Having a high plastic component gives these ceramic paints their many unique and cost-saving properties. Firstly, a permanent paint would need to be weather-proof. This is true for a ceramic paint as it’s completely waterproof, and water is the main cause of paint starting to crack and peel. Then, there’s the ceramic paint’s ability to expand and contract in differing extremes of climate – again preventing those chips and blisters from forming. Being plasticized also means that permanent paints are highly resistant to the UV rays of the sun. Bright sunshine causes regular paint to fade over time, but this doesn’t occur with a permanent paint. Other factors with ceramic paints are that they are wind-proof, salt tolerant (for homes near the coast), and mildew resistant. They are also fire and smoke rated. All of these qualities add up to the greatest strength of ceramic paint, and the reason that it’s also called permanent paint – it’s incredible durability. Permanent paint can come with a warranty of 25 years , with a guarantee that the paintwork will stay in excellent condition for the entire period of time. There can be no better coating for your home.

Protecting your investment

Even if you do not want to sell your home, keeping it well maintained will save money and protect your investment. If you are in the market to sell, you are aware of the importance of ‘curb appeal’ to a future buyer. The first thing anyone notices about a building is the exterior upkeep. Having an immaculate interior to your home is completely negated if the paintwork is not up to scratch. With a permanent paint guarantee, the warranty is transferrable. Given how homeowners loathe the process and expense of painting, any buyer will show more interest in a property where the exterior appearance is guaranteed for years into the future. It will definitely make your home more marketable.

Choosing the right color for a home is another important factor in making it look attractive. It’s the equivalent of being well-dressed or well made-up! Fortunately, ceramic paints come in literally hundreds of colors, so there is an unlimited choice. For making a good first impression, there’s nothing to beat a home beautifully coated in a color that reflects the personality of its owner.
