#PRIMER PAINT PRO#
Pro tip: Make sure to kill any mildew with a one-part bleach and three-parts water mixture before priming. If you are looking for premium non-toxic paints and primers but aren’t sure which ones are best for your application, look no further. If mildew is a serious concern, use a stain-blocking primer to prevent mildew and peeling on interior walls and blistering on exterior walls. But like all of our products, we always recommend testing first with small samples which are available here. finished walls rarely look perfect if the surface hasnt been prepared with primer first. Most can be tolerated by those with chemical sensitivities, allergies or asthma, or other immune disorders. Low-VOC paint is better for the environment than traditional paints, both inside and outside your home. They have also been third-party certified. Our paints and primers are ultra low VOC or zero VOC and exhibit very low odor when wet and are odorless when completely dry. Regardless of what you are painting, it’s smart to use paint and primers that are good for indoor air quality that won’t damage humans, pets, or the environment. We also carry handy painting accessories like paint can openers, lead testers, samples, and swatch books. For those with mold problems, we offer an EPA approved mold inhibiting paint that kills mold and prevents its growth. Priming may seem identical to painting because both refer to forms of brushing. It evens out blemishes and fills cracks, and can help a poor surface become the perfect base for the paint. You won’t get that smooth effect if you skip the primer stage, either. These include clay paint and mineral paint for porous walls made of straw bale, straw clay, as well as stucco, brick, and aerated concrete block. A primer is a preparatory base coat applied to the paint surface before painting. Primer is the bonding agent between the surface and the paint, making sure that the paint stays on the concrete.

We carry general-purpose interior and exterior paints as well as specialty paints and primers. You’ll discover paints and primers here for common building materials like wood, metal, sheetrock, plaster, and masonry. Besides improving aesthetics, paint also will protect the inside or outside of your home from moisture intrusion, ultraviolet light, mold and mildew, abrasion, and other natural or manmade damage. A careful paint job can make anything look better. It’s really amazing what a simple coat or two of paint can do.
