Several factors decide how long the interior paint will last. These include the quality of interior paint used, the system of application followed, the level of abuse it has been exposed to and also the general upkeep and maintenance of the wall. A good quality emulsion, applied following the correct system should last between five to seven years. Indigo Paints offers a range of interior emulsions that have a smooth finish and are easy to wash and maintain.

Generally, interior walls are painted at a frequency of 3-6 years. It largely depends on the type of Interior emulsion applied. Washable and stain resistant interior emulsions tend to look fresh for longer and can be cleaned and maintained for longer periods. You can choose from the wide range of interior wall paints offered by Indigo Paints to achieve the perfect look for your walls.

Various types of paints are available for interiors, such as interior emulsions, acrylic distemper, synthetic distempers and interior enamel paint.

Interior emulsions are generally categorised based on properties like stain resistance, ease of cleaning, sheen levels etc. Distempers are more conservative form of paint and have lesser durability than emulsions. Enamel paints are generally used for painting of wood and metal surfaces.

It depends on the taste and choice of an individual. However, the advantages of paint include the ease of application, cost involved, the ease of repainting / maintenance etc.

Surface defects like undulations are less visible when walls are coated with paint. Common problems like leaks, chalking etc. tend to affect the life of a wallpaper and can only be addressed using paint.

It is common to paint the ceiling in pure, brilliant white to create a feeling of generous space. However, contemporary designs do not conform to this thought and use the same shade for walls and ceilings to create a uniform look for the room.

General sheen levels offered include Matt, soft sheen, rich sheen, glossy. It is up to each customer and their taste to select the sheen level.

A few points to note however will be, if the surface has not been levelled properly, then higher the gloss greater the chances of surface undulations being visible when light falls on the surface.

Generally, with higher sheen levels the hiding property of paints tends to be inferior, especially for darker colours.

Ideally Acrylic Paints are Emulsion Paints. High range Emulsion Paints uses Pure Acrylic as key ingredient whereas lower range Emulsion Paints uses Blended Acrylic elements in its formulations. Emulsion paints are water-based and typically used for walls and ceilings. It has a smoother finish and is easier to apply over large areas.

Emulsion paint offers several benefits when used on interior walls:

1. Smooth Finish: Emulsion paints provide a smooth, uniform finish that enhances the appearance of walls.
2. Durability: Emulsion paints are resistant to wear and tear, making them ideal for high-traffic areas within the home.
3. Washability: Most modern emulsion paints are washable, allowing for easy cleaning of stains and marks without damaging the paint.
4. Environmentally Friendly: Emulsion paints are water-based and have lower levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them safer for indoor air quality.
5. Variety of Finishes: Emulsion paints are available in various finishes, including matte, satin, and glossy, allowing homeowners to choose the desired look for their interiors.

Interior acrylic emulsion paint is specifically formulated for use inside homes, offering a smooth, washable finish that resists stains and fading. It’s designed to handle the everyday wear and tear of interior spaces but is generally less resistant to harsh environmental conditions compared to exterior paints.

On the other hand, exterior acrylic emulsion paint is engineered to withstand exposure to outdoor elements like UV rays, rain, and temperature fluctuations. It contains additives that enhance durability, making it more resistant to cracking, peeling, and fading. For instance, the Indigo Exterior & Interior Acrylic Laminate is a versatile paint that can be used both inside and outside the home. It offers excellent weather resistance, including protection against rain and sunlight, while also being highly washable. This makes it an ideal choice for those seeking a durable solution that performs well in both interior and exterior applications

Interior emulsion paints are designed for indoor use and focus on providing a smooth, aesthetic finish with easy maintenance. They are not built to withstand the extreme conditions found outside. Exterior emulsion paints, however, are formulated with stronger binders and additives that protect against environmental factors like rain, sun, and pollution. While both types of emulsion paints serve their purpose, using the correct type for the appropriate setting ensures the longevity and appearance of the painted surfaces.

Distemper is a basic paint that is less durable and offers a matte finish. It’s cost-effective but lacks the washability and longevity of emulsion paints. Emulsion paints, on the other hand, are water-based, more durable, have a smoother finish, and are washable, making them suitable for long-term use.

Typically, interior walls should be repainted every 3-5 years. However, it depends on factors like the quality of paint used, exposure to sunlight, and room usage. High-quality emulsions can last longer, maintaining their appearance and protective qualities.

While it’s possible to paint during the monsoon, it’s generally not recommended because high humidity can affect the drying process and lead to issues like blistering or peeling. It’s best to paint during dry weather for optimal results.

While you can use the same paint, it’s often better to use a different finish for ceilings. A matte or flat finish is ideal for ceilings as it hides imperfections, whereas walls might benefit from a satin or eggshell finish for added durability and ease of cleaning.

To prevent dampness, ensure proper waterproofing of exterior walls and roofs. Use emulsions with anti-damp and moisture-resistant properties. It’s also important to maintain good ventilation and fix any leaks promptly.

Yes, many brands offer eco-friendly emulsions that are low in VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), free from harmful chemicals, and made with sustainable practices. These paints are safer for your family and the environment.

For living rooms and bedrooms, a matte or satin finish works well for a sophisticated look. Kitchens and bathrooms benefit from semi-gloss or gloss finishes, which are easier to clean and more resistant to moisture.

Common mistakes include not preparing the surface properly, skipping primer, choosing the wrong type of paint, and not allowing enough drying time between coats. It’s crucial to follow the recommended steps and guidelines for the best results.

Regular dusting and gentle cleaning with a damp cloth can help maintain the appearance of painted walls. Avoid using harsh chemicals, and touch up any chips or scratches promptly to keep the walls looking fresh.

Always test a small patch on your wall before committing to a colour. Lighting can greatly affect how a colour looks, so observe the test patch at different times of the day to ensure it meets your expectations.
