~Can You Paint in the Winter? ~

Most of us try to have our home’s interior painted in Hamilton before the snow flies. It makes sense to do this task in the fall before the arrival of your holiday visitors, however life isn’t perfect and you may have run out of time to paint your interior. Believe it or not there are benefits to painting during the winter. Let’s talk about it and why you should take advantage of the painting climate during the winter months!

Take note of the temperature. If it’s below 10 degrees Celsius, don’t take the chance and paint. Cold temps can adversely affect the paint and its application to walls. If the paint you want to use has been frozen it may be used, but not always. If you open the can and while mixing it, you notice it’s lumpy, it’s best not to use it. If you purchase your paint when it’s very cold outside, bring the can inside. Don’t leave it your car or garage. The optimum temp for painting your interior rooms is 23 degrees Celsius. 

Most of us keep our home’s temperature at a consistent level in the low to mid 20s in the winter months which makes the winter season a good time to paint. If you like your house cool, push up the thermometer to 23 for a few days prior to painting your home’s interior.

Because the air is dry in the winter, the paint will dry even and quickly because there is no humidity, some people will suggest opening a window or two to assist in the drying process while some say you shouldn’t bother. When you hire the professionals at Penisula Painting, they will handle the drying process. All you have to do is make sure that your house is well insulated and ventilated. This ensures that the air flow is even and thus the paint will dry evenly. Having your home painted in the winter may be beneficial if you’re looking to hire professionals because they’re not in demand as much as in the Spring. If you’re heading out to the paint sections of your hardware store, chances are it’s not busy. Painting your interior is a job to enjoy yourself because more than likely you don’t need to be outside doing chores and the like.
