House paint is a type of coating specifically designed for application on the exterior and interior surfaces of buildings. It serves to protect surfaces from weather elements, enhance aesthetics, and provide a barrier against moisture and pests. House paint comes in various finishes, including matte, satin, and gloss, allowing homeowners to choose the desired look for their spaces. There are two main types of house paint: water-based and oil-based. Water-based paints are easier to clean and dry quickly, while oil-based paints offer durability and a smooth finish. Both types can be tinted to achieve a wide range of colors, making it easy to personalize any home.
