Top-Quality Paint Suppliers- Get the Perfect Finish

Why is Painting Essential in Construction?

Protection of Underlayers

Applying paint coatings protects the underlying layers from degradation due to climatic factors- metal from rusting, masonry walls from corroding and wood from rotting.

Prevents Moisture Penetration

Paint coatings prevent surfaces from experiencing water leakage, seepage and mould growth. This helps avoid resultant issues like structural damage and building failures.

Enhanced Aesthetics

A properly painted surface hides utility elements like electrical and plumbing lines as well as errors in construction, such as patches in plasterwork and minor cracks. Painted surfaces render a clean and finished appearance to building elements. 

Types of Paints We Offer

Exterior and interior paints are available in several types, some of the common ones of which are: 

Emulsion Paint

This is a water-based paint made with polyvinyl acetate and polystyrene as binding materials. It has high alkali resistance and colour retention capacity, making it a popular choice for both exterior and interior surfaces.

Enamel Paint

Oil-based enamel paint produces smooth and glossy finishes and is comparatively slow-drying. It is commonly used as a finishing material on wood and metal elements. 

Bituminous Paint

Made with tar, this paint is extremely waterproof and alkali resistant. Although it is not generally used outdoors (as it degrades with exposure to the sun), it is commonly used for coating concrete foundations and other underground elements. 

Anti-Corrosion Paints

These are specially formulated using linseed oil, zinc and fine sand to provide a robust defence against rust and degradation, extending the lifespan of structures. They are ideal for use in industrial settings or coastal areas where exposure to moisture and salt is a concern.

Eco-Friendly and Low-VOC Paints

These paints contain lower amounts of volatile organic compounds, minimising harmful emissions and improving air quality without compromising on finish quality or performance.

Fire-Resistant Paint

These specialised paints include additives like halogens and phosphorous that help slow the spread of flames and reduce smoke development, making them essential for commercial buildings and high-rise structures. 

Other Painting Essentials Supplied by Brick & Bolt

Primer

A primer is a base layer applied to walls, ceilings and other surfaces to enable good adhesion between the surface and the paint coatings. It is available with different base materials like oil, latex and acrylic. 

Putty

Visually resembling white cement, putty is used to prepare underlying surfaces in indoor spaces by filling cracks, dents and level differences to produce a smooth and even surface. 

Factors to Consider When Choosing Paints

Climatic Conditions

Buildings in coastal areas require paints that can withstand high humidity and salt exposure, while structures in areas with extreme climates need paints that can resist UV rays and temperature fluctuations. Understanding the environmental conditions helps ensure that the selected paint will provide adequate protection and longevity. 

Finish Required

The paint finish (glossy, matte, satin, textured, etc.) selected must blend harmoniously with the rest of the building components and also fulfill functional requirements. For example, glossy finishes can be used to highlight metal railings and grilles, while matte finishes may be ideal for surfaces that are frequently touched by the building users. 

Surface Material

Different surfaces require different paint types to achieve the perfect finish. For instance, metal components require coating with enamel paints, while emulsion paint is generally used for walls and ceilings. 

Health & Safety Requirements

For a safer environment, opt for low-VOC and eco-friendly options. Additionally, certain projects may require fire-resistant coatings or other specialised paints to comply with safety codes. Being aware of these requirements enhances the safety of the building and its occupants. 

Material Quality

Investing in high-quality paints can make a significant difference in the longevity and appearance of buildings. Premium quality paints not only provide better coverage, but also offer superior durability against environmental factors.
