Interior and Exterior Painting

Other differences between interior and exterior paint involve more than aesthetics.Additives in exterior paint enable it to withstand exposure to the elements. Interior paint doesn’t have those additives. However, interior paint does have binders to resist abrasion.Several years ago, concerns about the impact of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on indoor air quality brought low VOC interior paint to the marketplace.These days there are many low VOC and even no VOC interior paint options.While paint manufacturers have begun to offer low VOC exterior paint, the VOC levels of most exterior paints are another reason such paints aren’t meant for indoor use.
