Tips For Winter Painting

6/24/2020

You might or might not know this, but never apply paint when it is under 50 degrees. If you have a winter painting project, you have to take into account the temp of the walls. In the wintertime, the walls could be colder than the temperature in the room. Having room temperate will let the paint dry faster and provide the best results.

Is it Okay to have a Winter Painting Interior Project? Yes.

Homeowners decide to have their interiors painted in the wintertime for a host of reasons. 

There are travel plans and vacations in the summertime. You also have a lot of barbecues, parties, and entertaining friends. Also, painting professionals might not be available when the weather is beautiful. During the warm months, exterior painting projects keep most painting crews busy all summer long. 

If you're in the midst of a cold snap, the outside chill might permeate the exterior of the house and create substantial cooling of the walls. For paint to stick correctly and for a long time, the wall temperature is as vital as the air temperature.

If the walls are icy cold, turn up the thermostat while the painters work, and for about 36 hours after the completed job may help. This atmosphere is perfect for the new paint.

Humidity and Paint

Typically, summers have more humidity than winters. However, this isn't always the case. If you believe the air in your residence is very humid, you must do something about it before painting begins.

Bits of moisture in the air is what makes the outcome referred to as humidity. The more you have moisture bits, the more humidity. When the air has lots of moisture, paint has a problem drying. The wet air keeps the paint moist. 

If the liquid part of the paint remains, the paint won't accurately stick to the walls. Just like with painting in temps that are too frigid, painting in too much humidity will have the paint wet and sagging. If the paint isn't completely dry, you run the risk of smudging when moving furniture back into the room.
