Walk into a hardware store, and you’ll see a 10L bucket of fence paint for $80 next to a premium brand for $200. They both look white in the tin. So, what are you paying for? The answer is "Volume Solids" and "Titanium Dioxide."
Cheap paint is mostly water and cheap fillers (like talc). When the water evaporates, you
are left with a very thin film that offers little UV protection. You might need three or four coats to get coverage. Premium paint has a high percentage of solid binders and high-quality pigments. It covers in two coats and leaves a thick, armoured shell on your house. When you hire Exterior House Painters Hamilton , you aren't just paying for labour; you are paying for them to apply a "high-build" coating that will actually survive the New
Zealand UV index for 10 years, rather than chalking off in two.
