Why is washable paint important in your interior?

Among the features you want when purchasing a can of paint: the washable aspect of the product is a top priority. While you've certainly already heard of washable paint, do you know what washable paint is before embarking on your home renovation?

Washable paint (not to be confused with washable) is a product that allows you to apply a soapy water-based solution to the paint film without damaging or damaging it. This is a feature that is highly valued in children's bedrooms or humid rooms such as the kitchen or bathroom.

Almost every brand on the market now offers washable paint, but not all are created equal. For renovations around your home, you'll be advised to use a natural, eco-friendly paint rather than a traditional water-based or acrylic paint, for example.

What are the advantages of washable white paint?

The least we can say is that washable paint has many advantages. First of all, washable paint will have greater resistance to humidity and friction. Likewise, its maintenance is much simpler and less risky thanks to its ability to not deteriorate the paint film on the surfaces on which the paint is applied. In living spaces like the kitchen and bathroom, this is a highly preferred aspect.

The advantages of white paint in decoration

Now that you know exactly what washable paint is, you've decided to use white in your home. And between deep white, pure white, and warm white, it's difficult to make up your mind and choose the shade that will adorn the walls of your home.

If you want a standard white for the walls of your home, then Pure White or Deep White are the colors for you. You'll use white without compromise.

However, more and more of you are looking to use a more nuanced and warmer white in your home. Warm white is undoubtedly the color that will suit your needs.

Its slightly vanilla tip even allows it to be combined with a color, which makes it a popular paint for decoration.

Which finish should I choose to guarantee a washable appearance?

There are mainly 3 finishes when it comes to paint: matte, velvet or satin.

At Algo, every finish is washable, but keep in mind that this isn't the case for all wall paint brands. Matte is known for being a non- or barely washable finish. It's actually the least washable finish. Matte is less resistant to rubbing and cleaning.

The velvet finish is very trendy right now and represents the best alternative for combining aesthetics and paint washability. Satin is considered the most washable finish possible, which is why we highly recommend it for rooms like the kitchen or bathroom.

A satin finish is not always shiny or lacquered, this is the case for example with Algo paints which guarantee a silkier finish while ensuring the white paint is washable.

As you will have understood, for your wall and whatever the brand of paint you are going to apply, it is velvet or satin that you will need to guarantee the washable appearance of your white.

For ceilings, matte is the most commonly recommended option. Rest assured, washable materials are not essential for ceilings.
