To make sure you make the right choice, we will show you the advantages of each of the paint finishes in the Ovaldine line.
Matt finish
Plastic paint Ovaldine Mate offers an excellent balance between strength, application, coverage and performance. If you're thinking about this kind of paint finish for your project, you should take a look at the following:
o Better concealment of imperfections on the walls.
o It's perfect for locations that are not subject to a lot of activity like the bedrooms, for example.
o It has a wide range of colours.
o This is a washable and easy to maintain paint that offers lasting results.
o It's perfect for spaces with a large amount of light.
Satin finish
But if what you need is extra light and great resistance. The vinyl acrylic paint Ovaldine Satin is the best option. It's an ideal product because:
o It facilitates cleaning because when the pores in the wall close preventing dirt from entering, and more importantly making stain removal effortless.
o It provides more light to rooms as there is a certain glossy element to the finish.
o It is ideal for busy areas like hallways, children's rooms or living rooms.
o It is highly recommended for spaces where there is not a lot of natural light.
o This is a paint that is pleasant to the touch and visually very subtle.
But in addition to these two finishes, at Pinturas Montó we also have within our satin line Ovaldine semibrillo, a water-based acrylic paint specifically for outdoor use with a semi-gloss finish that is resistant to moisture and high coverage.
NEW SEMI-MATT PAINT FINISH: OVALDINE VELOURAnd to combine the benefits of both finishes, matt and satin, at Pinturas Montó, we never stop innovating to offer you the best solutions. So, we have created Ovaldine Velour, a new semi-matt finish paint with a velvet look.
This innovative product combines the characteristics of matt paint, such as coverage, ease of application or the ability to conceal imperfections, with those of satin paint in terms of resistance to scratching and rubbing, and its high washability.
This is an acyrlic paint that is suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. In addition, you can apply it on acoustic ceilings, plaster, cement mortar and pre-primed wood.
PropertiesAs a result of being the best of both paints, Ovaldine Velour is a high-performance product for decoration and smooth surfaces offering excellent balance between performance, coverage, strength and application. But it also has the following properties:
o It's a paint that is low in emissions and solvent free
o It has a high covering power and low splashing
o It's the perfect product for a smooth and velvety finish
o Quick repainting
o Excellent washability
o Optimal applicability
Application tips
This acrylic paint can be applied to both brand new surfaces and in the restoration and maintenance of existing surfaces. Proper preparation is vital to obtaining excellent results and the desired finish.
To do so, just follow these simple steps:
1. Shake the product until perfectly homogeneous.
2. You can choose between applying the product as it is or diluting it up to 5% while maintaining its coverage and glossing properties in the first coat.
3. Finish with one or more lightly diluted coats until the surface is completely covered.
4. Ovaldine velour is washable 24 days after application.
It is not advisable to apply the product at temperatures below 5ºC or on surfaces exposed to strong sunshine.
In conclusion, we can say that any of the four Ovaldine products will be perfect for your project. You just have to decide which finish you prefer and take into account certain factors such aslight levels in the room. The orientation of the room, the type of artificial light used or the dimensions of the space which will affect the appearance not only of the colours but also of the finishes.
In this regard, we’d like to remind you that matt paintings are often used in spaces where a large amount of light is present and that paints with a satin or gloss finish are perfect for smaller spaces in which the reflection of light will make the room appear larger. For the semi-matte you can use it in all cases thanks to its exclusive, subtle finish.
