Now that they have grown up, are you thinking of changing the color of your children’s bedrooms? Or perhaps in eliminating the outdated gotelé from your living room? An aesthetic renovation may be the main reason that leads you to give a few hands of paint, but this action also contributes to the conservation of the walls of your home.
Painting the walls regularly with a quality product will help you fill cracks and cover annoying damp. The paint will also have a sanitizing effect in your home and will act as thermal and acoustic insulation. Surely now there are many damages that you can think of, however, you have the option of fixing the most urgent ones and postponing the others for another season. But what is the best time of year to paint your house?
Obtaining a good finish on your wall is the minimum desirable after the investment of time and money involved in painting your home. To achieve this you have to take into account factors such as temperature or humidity. People usually decide to paint in summer, due to good weather and more free time available. The heat allows you to have the windows open and contributes to quick drying and to the disguise of the smell of freshly painted. However, temperatures above 30 degrees could cause paint blisters.
Autumn is a good time, depending on the geographical area where you live, since mild temperatures favor the application and drying of the paint. On the other hand, in places with regular torrential rains and relative humidity above 70% it is not a recommended option, as this high incidence could spoil the paint. In winter it is not a good idea either, or sometimes even possible, to paint the walls of your rooms because with temperatures below 5 degrees, drying slows down.
Weather conditions are decisive when planning painting jobs. Once you have ruled out the rest of the seasons, spring becomes the ideal time to renew your walls. Mild temperatures favor proper application and drying, without the risk of expansion or cracking. This is also an ideal time to work when it is neither too cold nor too hot, so if you are thinking of painting your home yourself, take advantage and get to work!
