Have you spent hours scrubbing your interior wall paint to remove a stain that just won’t budge? We’ve all been there, so we know how inconvenient it can be to not have paint that you can rely on.

One type of paint that has revolutionized the industry is stain-blocking paint. This is a feature that can be found in many high-quality paint products.

At Brush & Roll Painting in Omaha, NE, we have worked with many paint products and found the best ones for durability and longevity. We have our customers' needs in mind and ensure the products we use will result in a lasting and washable finish. 

In this article, will explore the incredible power of high-quality stain-blocking paint. By reading this article, you may be one step closer to finding the best paint for your next interior painting project and solving your tough stained paint problem.

What is Stain-Blocking Paint?

Stain-blocking paint is a specially formulated feature in high-quality paint designed to prevent stains from bleeding through the paint layers. 

Stains can take many forms, including water stains, smoke damage, ink marks from the kids, and oil or grease marks from accidental spills (we’ve all been there too). 

Stain-resistant paint acts as a shield from the stain being embedded into the paint. This allows the stain to be removed with as little as soap, water, and a quick wipe.

Qualities like stain-resistant paint are not found in cheaper, low-quality paint due to that paint not having the durability to resist stains, but rather embracing them into the paint.

Likely if you are battling tough stains on interior paint, it is due to the lack of quality and durability in the paint product.

The Advantages of High-Quality Paint With Stain-Resistant Features

Mold and Mildew Resistance

Stain-blocking paint is not just about aesthetics; it also offers protection against mold and mildew. In areas prone to moisture, such as bathrooms and kitchens, or basements, mold can be a persistent problem. 

High-quality stain-blocking paint contains technology that help prevent the growth of mold and mildew, ensuring a cleaner and healthier environment for you and your family.

Durability and Easy Maintenance

High-quality stain-blocking paint resists stains and offers excellent adhesion and coverage. This means that your paint job will look better and last longer, saving you time and money on touch-ups in the long run. 

Additionally, it is washable, making maintenance a breeze. Everyday wear and tear, scuffs, and stains can be effortlessly wiped clean, leaving your walls flawless.

Oftentimes while scrubbing a low-quality or non-stain-blocking paint, the color tends to wear or chip off and the sheen integrity is ruined.

Enhanced Aesthetic Appeal

Beyond its functional advantages, high-quality stain-blocking paint enhances the visual appeal of your space. 

When stains are locked away and your paint remains washable and scuff-resistant, your chosen color appears truer and more vibrant, ensuring that your room or space looks it's very best.

Available In Any Finish

A common misconception about flat finishes is that they are not stain-blocking. This misconception is untrue and began with people and inexperienced painters using low-quality paint in a flat finish that claimed to be stain-blocking. This led them to find out the hard way that dirt and grime on the paint were not easy to clean.

In actuality, stain blocking is a feature that can be found with any kind of finish. A true high-quality paint can have both an eggshell finish and actually be stain-resistant.

Conclusion

As a painting company in Omaha, NE, we understand the struggle that can come with stains on interior paint. In the future, you will thank yourself after investing in high-quality paint that is washable and scruff-resistant.

Not only does the stain-blocking feature in high-quality paint enhance the visual appeal of your space, but it also offers crucial protection against tough stains, mold, and mildew. When you choose high-quality stain-blocking paint, you are investing in the longevity of your paint and easing daily maintenance with effortless washability.
