What is Emulsion Paint?
An emulsion is a water-based paint primarily designed for use as wall or ceiling paint. Unlike oil-based paints, water-based emulsions are low-odour, low in VOCs, and more environmentally friendly. Its formulation typically includes acrylic or vinyl resins, which help give the paint some of its specific features.Â
For example, the paint may be formulated to be quicker drying, while another emulsion may be mould-inhibiting. No matter what you need paint for, there's an emulsion to help you. You can find emulsions tailored to reflect sunlight, or wipe clean with ease, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas or damp conditions.
Trade emulsion products are engineered for efficiency and performance. They are mostly water-based, which means great coverage, faster drying times, and easier application. They're also better for the environment and safer to use at home. At The Paint Shed we offer Colour matching and mixing services, This makes them ideal for professional painters and DIYers alike.
At The Paint Shed, we stock an extensive variety of emulsion paints tailored to suit every interior space and project requirement.
