How to choose the best material for painting?
The concept of acrylic paints combines environmentally friendly materials based on water, which are used in construction and repair. Each paint has:
- Type of destination: façade, interior, ceiling or wall.

- Visual effect: matte or glossy coating, reflects or absorbs the light, could be colored and in which colors.
Paints by TRIORA keep track of all the most popular requests. There are materials for ceilings and living rooms, for bathrooms, where the humidity is hide, for summer kitchens and facades, which fall under the influence of different temperatures.
Ask yourself three questions to choose the right paint:
- What to paint?
- Where to paint?
- What do we expect from the result?
The answers are the main requirements on which the material choice depends.
For example, you want to paint the walls in the kitchen. Here you definitely need a durable washable paint for walls. There are two options – facade paint and semi-matt interior paint by TRIORA. Using these materials, you get the finish coating close to the tile for strength.
The second moment is aesthetic. Facade paint creates a matte finish coating. It could be colored in TRIORAs’ studios in more than 200 colors. The interior one creates a coating with a light shine. This paint could be colored in almost 1000 colors. Here the choice depends on personal taste.
What is worth reading on the label of the material?
- The name of the paint and its features. For example, on silky-matte paint by TRIORA indicated that it is ideal for children’s, offices and corridors. It does not mean that it cannot be used in other premises. Just look at the destination as a hint. Think about what else in the house is exploited as actively as the wall in the office and safely apply this paint.
- Level of gloss. This indicates what you get in the end: matte or shiny surface. The level of gloss of paints by TRIORA is counted from 1 to 4, where 1 is matte paint, and 4 is glossy one. There are coatings with a light, slightly noticeable gloss between them.

- Resistance to wet abrasion. There are 5 degrees of durability. The first is the strongest facade paint, which can be washed without loss, and the fifth –is ultra-white paint for ceilings, only for dry cleaning.

Coating life duration is often depends on the quality of paints.
