Why more and more people choose latex spraying.
Latex spraying is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. Where painting with a brush or roller often leaves streaks and texture, sprayed latex produces a perfectly even, streak-free surface. In this article we explain how latex spraying works, what the advantages are, what to look out for and why it makes the difference especially on large areas and ceilings.
With latex spraying, the professional applies the paint with an airless spray system in fine, even layers. Under high pressure the latex is atomised and distributed evenly over the wall or ceiling, without any brush or roller. The result is a perfectly even surface without brush marks, roller bands or texture. This technique is used in both new build and renovation and is suitable for virtually any smooth surface.
The biggest advantage of latex spraying is the sleek, even look that is almost impossible to achieve with manual painting. In addition, spraying is often faster than rolling, certainly on large surfaces, and the end result is more modern and seamless. Ceilings and large wall areas come out particularly beautiful and even, because there are no visible transitions or joins. Hard-to-reach corners and details are also handled neatly with the sprayer.
Latex spray work can be carried out in virtually any RAL colour and in various gloss levels, from matte to satin. This way you can fully match the finish to your interior and the atmosphere you are looking for. A good plasterer or latex sprayer is happy to advise on the right colour and gloss level, and can show samples so you know in advance how it will look in your room. Even colour coverage is one of the strongest points of this technique.
Because the paint is atomised, careful masking is crucial. Floors, frames, windows, doors and anything that should not be sprayed are expertly taped off and covered in advance. Good preparation prevents overspray damage and ensures sleek, sharp edges. At Wandmeesters this masking work is a standard part of the job, so you don't have to worry about a thing and the space is delivered neatly.
For a beautiful spray result, an even, well-prepared surface is important. Small imperfections, holes or damage are repaired in advance and the wall is lightly sanded and primed if necessary. On a sleekly plastered or thin-coated wall, sprayed latex comes into its own. A less flat surface is levelled first, because the spray technique actually makes a surface look visibly even, but does not hide coarse imperfections.
A major advantage of latex-painted walls is that they are easy to maintain. Light stains can usually be wiped away easily with a damp cloth and some mild soap. In case of any damage, latex is also easy to touch up locally, especially if you keep some leftover of the paint used so the colour matches exactly. With the right care, sprayed walls stay sleek and beautiful for years.
