12 best ceiling and wall paints

A line of budget acrylic paints with high water resistance and therefore washable. For the most part, consumers use "Farbitex" as a coating for painting walls in the bathroom or in the kitchen, since the water-repellent function works with a bang. Paint is good because it does not impose special and, sometimes, even unnecessary requirements on the surface. Of course, applying a layer of "acrylic" on a perfectly dry and clean plane is welcome, but it's okay if the latter is slightly damp.

The composition also pleases with economical consumption, due to which it is possible to inexpensively put in order a large apartment or house. However, problems may arise with application - buyers complain that the consistency is too thick and does not fit well.It is recommended to dilute the mixture with water beforehand, but even in this case it will not be easy to work with the composition and several layers will have to be applied, since Farbitex Profi does not have a high hiding power.

Well-known and high-quality acrylic-based paint with increased wear resistance. Presented in several basic versions: "A" and "C". It is advisable to use the first one as an independent white paint or a basis for light and pastel colors, the second - only as a basis for saturated colors. After application and drying, a very high-quality and durable coating is formed, which is well washed and will last for 10-15 years.

However, for such a long time the paint will retain its properties and appearance, only with full and strict adherence to the recommendations for application. Immediately before painting walls or ceilings, a whole ritual of actions should be performed: of course, clean the surface of dirt and fragile coatings, and also degrease it without fail with a slightly alkaline solution. Also, among the shortcomings, a rather high consumption and a strong pungent odor are noted, because of which the room will have to be thoroughly ventilated.

The paint of the Renova line from the German brand Alpina has been in the top of the best acrylic coatings for interior decoration for several years now. It is simple and unpretentious in application, moderately viscous and durable. Consumers praise the adhesive properties very much - adhesion to the surface and resistance to washing. The mixture is practically odorless and completely safe, so that it can be safely applied even indoors. It lays down easily, is distributed evenly, does not strip.

The original whiteness, if the paint has not been diluted with color, lasts for 5-7 years, after which there is a slight tarnish. However, if you add color to the base, and no matter what - whether it is a rich or soft tone - "aging" will not be noticeable throughout the entire service life. Of the minuses, one can only single out a rather high consumption - about 150 grams per square meter, but this largely depends on the type of surface.

Sniezka Eko is ideal for painting walls and ceilings in apartments and houses. The paint is 100% safe: it does not have a strong odor and does not cause allergic reactions. Moreover, these are not unfounded statements by the manufacturer, but a reliable fact confirmed by the doctors of the Jagiellonian University. It is very convenient to work with the composition - the texture is thick, it picks up well on the roller and is easily distributed in an even layer, smoothing out the unevenness of the base.

Unfortunately, the hiding power is not very high, and in order to achieve a perfectly smooth and snow-white coating, experts recommend applying the mixture in at least two layers, since one can shine through. However, even if you put it in ten layers, it will still pass air well and allow the walls to “breathe”. Among the shortcomings, soiledness is also distinguished - if the painted surface is dirty, it will take a long time to scrub it off. At the same time, the coating cannot be washed, only dry cleaning is allowed.

A unique water-based silicate paint based on liquid potassium glass. The first, and most important, advantage of Fassaden-Silikat is its cost-effectiveness. One liter is enough for a single-layer coating of 6-8 square meters - this is approximately 130-170 grams per square meter, but everything, of course, depends on the type of surface. For better adhesion, it is recommended to first plaster the base. The finished coating withstands the effects of moisture and precipitation, has a high vapor permeability.

To get a smooth uniform layer, you will have to paint the walls and ceiling at least twice. At the same time, according to consumers, the paint does not reproduce bright, saturated colors well, but soft, light tones are obtained without much difficulty. According to the standard characteristics, there are no complaints, but it is annoying that the mixture does not tolerate negative temperatures. For its price category, the inherent qualities are not enough, but those that are are very high.

Non-combustible paint from Dulux is perfect for areas where fire safety is especially important: high-rise buildings, schools and other public institutions. It does not support combustion, does not smoke and does not emit toxic substances with a strong increase in air temperature. From the point of view of environmental friendliness, the composition is 100% safe and practically odorless. It is applied easily and masks small surface defects well. Due to the increased content of white pigment, it is consumed very economically and surpasses analogues in covering power.

A reliable hitch is possible only with mineral bases, so the walls and ceiling will have to be plastered first. A month after applying the paint, the surface can be washed. However, the manufacturer does not recommend using detergents in this case, so as not to damage the outer layer and not erase the shine. The buyers did not single out any serious shortcomings, except for the high price.

Due to the high vapor permeability and fungus resistance, Ceresit ST 54 is suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.

The service life is long - according to reviews, the painted surface will last for 5 and 10 years.

The composition is environmentally friendly and does not have a strong odor. Perfectly lays down on mineral surfaces and well smoothes out roughnesses. However, it is not recommended to apply the mixture on acrylic and other non-mineral substrates, and if necessary, it is worth pre-preparing the coating - cleaning and plastering. In terms of quality, this is one of the best paints in the ranking. The only drawback is the high price. But judging by the reviews, the result is worth the money spent.

One-component deep-matte silicate paint, which is very popular with both beginners and professionals. Most buyers distinguish ordinary qualities: dirt-repellency, vapor permeability, but there are more interesting details. For example, consumer enthusiasts tested the heat resistance of the composition and were very pleased with the result - the dried coating withstands fluctuations from -50 to +60 ° C.

Among other things, the mixture has found application in the marine industry - this once again confirms the high level of the Finnish paintwork material. However, you will have to pay for quality - like all TIKKURILA paints, the Finngard SILIKAATTIMAALI composition will cost a lot. At the same time, the expense is not the most economical, but even in this case, buyers unanimously argue that this is the best option and is definitely worth the money.

Caparol paints delight with consistent quality and CapaSilan is no exception. The mixture adheres perfectly to prepared mineral surfaces and forms a smooth, even coating without streaks. At the same time, it sets longer than analogues and avoids visible joints in certain areas even in poor lighting conditions. The coating dries completely in 3-4 weeks. After that, it can be washed using neutral detergents. The composition is completely safe and has a slight pleasant smell.

If you believe the reviews - the result exceeds all expectations. The painted surface becomes smooth, snow-white and completely matte.When working with paint, there will be no problems even if you are a complete beginner: the optimal consistency allows you to evenly distribute the composition on walls and ceilings without streaks and streaks. Consumption is small, especially if you pre-dilute the mixture with water. Although, of course, even in this case, the price seems too high.

Another representative of the Alpina company, Expert silicone facade paint, has gained an impressive army of satisfied consumers. It is inexpensive and quite economical: compared to competitors in the rating, the cost of applying one layer averages 110 milliliters per square meter. At the same time, in terms of quality, it is not much inferior to more expensive analogues.

Due to the excellent consistency, the composition is easy to apply and well smooths out all the bumps and roughness. It is a pleasure to work with the paint - it picks up on the roller without any problems and is evenly distributed without forming streaks and streaks. Light resistance is also pleasing - the mixture retains a bright and saturated color for a long time even with prolonged exposure to sunlight. However, in order for the coating to last for many years, you will have to carefully prepare the walls: sand, clean, prime, dry.

"Tikkurila Novasil" is intended for new or well-cleaned concrete plastered surfaces. Professionals recommend priming the base before applying - this will smooth out the pores, improve adhesion and reduce consumption. The composition lays down in an even dense layer, but at the same time allows the walls to "breathe". Among the shortcomings, buyers note that the consumption is unpredictable and it all depends on the craftsmen, surface and weather.

Silicone paint "CT 48" from the world famous brand "Ceresit" impresses with its qualities and versatility. It fits easily, so it is suitable not only for professionals, but also for beginners. In addition, the mixture has high adhesion and is compatible with almost all materials. Also, buyers are pleased with the high vapor permeability, immunity to sunlight, ease of cleaning from pollution, the absence of a pungent odor and uniformity of painting.

Consumption per square meter for double application does not exceed 300 milliliters - taking into account the price, it turns out to be a little expensive, but the quality is clearly worth it. Silicone paints are generally more expensive than analogues based on latex or acrylic, but if you compare the result, then professionals recommend choosing them, since the durability of the color and surface protection of silicone is ten times higher than acrylic and latex counterparts.
