Architectural Coatings

Interior architectural coatings

Interior paint options have to be as diverse as the customers that purchase them, but certain performance attributes must always be present in the formulations. Durability, hide, stain resistance and low VOCs are integral functionalities in every interior paint formulation. Whether a homeowner is painting their living room for the first time, or a contractor is painting an office interior, they want their coating to last a long time and take on anything life throws at it.
