Emulsions are a popular choice for interior and exterior wall finishes, offering a smooth, washable, and vibrant coating. However, achieving the best finish and durability depends on proper application. Here’s a step-by-step guide to using water-based emulsion paints the right way.

1. Surface Preparation is Key

Before applying any emulsion, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or flaky paint. Repair cracks or holes using putty or filler for a smooth base.
2. Use the Right Primer
Always start with a water-based primer or sealer, especially on new or porous walls. It enhances paint adhesion and gives a uniform finish.
3. Dilute Correctly
Read the manufacturer’s instructions for dilution. Over-thinning can reduce coverage and durability, while under-thinning may make the paint harder to apply.
4. Apply Even Coats
Use rollers or brushes to apply at least two coats. Ensure the first coat dries completely before applying the second. This prevents peeling and improves longevity.
5. Maintain Drying Time
Follow recommended drying time (usually 4–6 hours between coats). Avoid rushing the process, especially in humid conditions.
6. Post-Application Care
Allow at least 7 days of curing time before washing or cleaning the walls. Use mild soap and a soft cloth for maintenance.

Conclusion

Emulsion paints, when used correctly, can transform your walls and provide years of vibrant protection. For professional-grade results, trust high-quality emulsions from Paramount Products Industries—engineered for superior coverage, adhesion, and finish.
