Discussing Interior Painting Techniques

Bob is joined by Joann Borges of CertaPro Painters, who goes over techniques and selected paints for covering new walls and trim efficiently and evenly. They begin with the paint sprayer that is typically used throughout a new production home. The sprayer begins with the ceilings and works down the walls, staying ten to twelve inches away from the surface to give an even coat. Sprayers cover all surfaces, including doors, closets, and trim to finish a room quickly. Speed and efficiency keep the cost down. High-quality, long-lasting paints mean that homeowners will wait longer to repaint and get more value from their investment. CertaPro is using Sherwin Williams' Duration Home throughout the interiors of these affordable homes. Duration Home is a latex paint that is enhanced with acrylic polymers to give durability and washability in a flat or non-glossy paint. Borges also shows how the painters use rollers to cover walls quickly, cutting in with a 2�-inch angled brush before rolling with an 18-inch roller to speed up the process.

" All right now let's talk a little bit about painting the interiors of our house which is. A big job but it's a -- job Joann Borges is here and she's gonna explain a little bit to us about the techniques involved in that kind of paints that we're using. Now normally when a developer has ten houses that brings in a paint contractor and they spray the whole thing right."

" Exactly what we can do on new construction house such as this is that we can command and actually spray everything out. As far as the technique for strength -- to keep the sprayer about ten to twelve inches away from Milwaukee. And then typically they'll start they'll spray all of the ceilings and learn their work their way down on the wall again as with the exterior of the spraying allows for a nice even coverage burden on the glossary allows me get a house pretty affection but uniformity is one of the most important things in terms of the stroke. Absolutely and staying away from. Not too close to the offices you don't have. Drips and stuff that's exactly right which is why when the crew -- spraying they'll want to stay about hundreds -- inches away from the wallet we'll allow for that uniformity especially in a new construction house. When you have here -- some imperfections except at the spraying will really help to hide on what kind of paints are you using this is all finished already right. That's exactly right that's this paint is all finished here while we were actually pretty excited what we used on this house was that new product out by Sherwin-Williams it's called duration home. Duration exactly it's called duration home is an interior air on product as with there exterior duration which is what we -- for me. On the outside their house in basically what this product allows for is due to the enhancement of the acrylic polymers. This product push airlines has been able to do is take the wash ability of ever clean product that durability of their super paint product. Put them together act makes it nice and easy to create -- still latex paint. That's exactly right and what most homeowners will associate that with as a lot of times that old thought process was that he had to be glossy in order to be clean yet as. As you can see the paint that we've used on this house is actually -- Saturday -- yet what the product will do -- allow you still be able to clean. Because of the acrylic additive that's exactly right."

" They're rolling in here what's what's the idea here yeah let me just again yes we're also doing some rolling in this room on and what that allows you to see is just a separate technique. On which you can nail and rolling situation like as what pathologist actually using two and a half its tangled brush as. They'll go in first they'll cut out on the -- into an differences which are at an angle. Exactly the cutting brush yes that's exactly right when it does is it just makes it easier for the crew to cut into the trim make sure that the lines are nice and clean. So they'll go announcing that they'll cut into all the trim first and then my roller that -- using is actually an eighteen inch roller -- which also just allows for the crew doing a little bit more efficiently and went acts. So Dave you'll see is actually now going through and rolling out the entire block is this after all it is. Commercial stuff so we're we're looking at big troughs I -- my gallon buckets exact word in there yeah. And right when a big job like this what you will do is you know most of the people continent in five down they'll pour everything in here last and they get through the room pretty quickly with us. You know we are always concerned last Saturday. Well thanks you and looks beautiful."
