2. non-toxic composition, therefore this kind of room is often stained by hospital or sanatorium-type rooms;
3. high property of adhesion to the wall, except for the glossy, adhesive or varnish surface;
4. safety, such paint is fire resistant;
5. fast drying of the composition on the surface, with the result is the aesthetic appearance of the walls;
6. interacts well with other types of paint, so another material can be applied on top of it;
7. high resistance to moisture, alkaline and mechanical effects, so this type is most often chosen for the kitchen, bath, toilet, or for non-residential premises.

The main type of alkyd materials are enamel paints. This type has many similar qualities with emulsion paint: good adhesion to the surface, fast drying, resistance to water and light. In this enamel appearance has a number of features: a high degree of glossiness and anti-corrosion properties.

Silicate or mineral paints in the composition contain glass in a liquid state and alkali, therefore when working with this type it is better to wear a protective mask and gloves. From the positive properties of such a substance can be noted:

• good air throughput (due to this, mold and fungi are not formed on the surface);
• high resistance to temperature changes and sunlight;
• high moisture resistance, so this view can be painted bathrooms and toilet.

Glue paints in their composition are polymers of organic origin and water. Due to this, this species does not tolerate contact with water and high humidity. They also have low resistance to the appearance of fungus and mold. The positive sides are a large selection of colors and shades, fast drying and strong adhesion to the surface.

If you need a shiny surface, it is better to give preference to a glossy paint, in the opposite version - the choice to stop on a matte paint.It should be borne in mind that the gloss brightly emphasizes all the imperfections of the surface: cracks, irregularities.
4. The choice of color depends on the light interior design: for an apartment with a lot of natural and artificial lighting it is better to choose shades of graphite and blue.
