Interior vs. Exterior Paint: What’s the Difference?

Why You Shouldn’t Use the Same Paint Indoors and Outdoors

Paint formulations vary based on where they’re applied. Here’s a breakdown of key differences:

• Durability: Exterior paint resists UV rays, rain, and temperature changes.
• Finish Options: Interior paints offer more sheen variety (matte, eggshell, satin).
• Chemical Composition: Exterior paints contain additives to prevent mildew and fading.

Why the Right Choice Matters

Using the wrong type can lead to peeling, cracking, or poor adhesion. Professionals ensure the best product for longevity and beauty.
