When you decide to renovate the look of your home, whether it is a cosy flat in the centre of Malaga, a townhouse in Estepona or a luxury villa in Marbella, the choice of materials is the most decisive factor in ensuring a long-lasting result. At Pintores Pro, we understand that the unique climate of the Costa del Sol, with its prolonged exposure to the sun and the humidity of the Mediterranean, demands superior technical solutions. For this reason, we always recommend the use of high quality plastic paint as the fundamental basis of any interior and exterior decoration project.
Plastic paint, also known as emulsion paint, is the most widely used product in the construction and renovation sector due to its versatility. However, not all paints are the same. A high quality plastic paint differs from economy ranges in that it has a higher concentration of resins and pigments, which results in better coverage, greater washability and significantly higher resistance over time.
Benefits of choosing high quality plastic paint
Investing in premium materials is not an expense, but an investment in the maintenance of your property. By using high-quality plastic paint, you ensure that your walls will retain their vibrant colour for much longer. These products are designed to resist friction and allow them to be wiped clean with a damp cloth without the colour coming off or unwanted sheen appearing, which is vital in homes with children or pets.
Another key aspect is performance. Although a professional paint can may be more expensive than a white brand, its ability to cover the surface in fewer coats saves labour time and product quantity. In addition, high-end paints are usually breathable, allowing the substrate to "breathe" and avoiding condensation problems, which are very common in coastal areas.
For those interested in the technical regulations and composition of these materials, detailed information is available from the Spanish Association of Paint and Printing Ink Manufacturers (ASEFAPI), which explains the quality standards that professional products in Spain must meet.
The importance of resistance to the Mediterranean climate
On the Costa del Sol, homes are subject to specific environmental conditions. Salty air and high UV radiation can quickly degrade low-quality paints, causing colours to fade or the surface to crack. The high quality plastic paint we use at Pintores Pro contains special additives that act as a protective barrier against these elements.
For the exteriors of villas and detached houses, the use of high-end plastic coatings is a must. These products not only decorate but also waterproof the façade, protecting the structure of the house from occasional but heavy rainfall and persistent moisture during the winter. Inside, the colour stability ensures that, despite the intense light coming through the windows, your walls will look as freshly painted for years to come.
Finishes and textures: Matte, Satin or Gloss
High quality plastic paint offers different finishes to suit the style of each room:
Matt finish: This is the most popular finish for interior ceilings and walls with imperfections, as it does not reflect light and disguises the irregularities of the substrate. Today's high quality matt paints have greatly improved their washability, breaking the myth that matt cannot be cleaned.
Satin finish: It offers a light silky sheen that adds luminosity to rooms. It is extremely resistant and easy to wash, making it ideal for high traffic areas such as hallways, kitchens or children's rooms.
Gloss Finish: Less common on complete walls, but very used to highlight architectural details or in areas where maximum hygiene is required, as its surface is completely smooth and non-porous.
The Pintores Pro professional process
At Pintores Pro, we know that even the best high quality plastic paint on the market will not look good if the previous preparation is not adequate. Our team of professional painters on the Costa del Sol follow a rigorous protocol to ensure maximum adhesion and a smooth, even finish.
The process begins with the total protection of floors, furniture and window frames. We then proceed to clean up the walls, removing old paintwork, filling cracks and sanding the surfaces to achieve a perfect base. Only when the substrate is ready, we apply the necessary coats of paint using precision tools that avoid roller marks or drips.
We are also committed to the environment and the health of our customers. Therefore, we prioritise the use of high quality plastic paint with low levels of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which allows rooms to be inhabited almost immediately after painting, without strong odours or risks for allergy sufferers.
