Carsons is now a third generation family business.
With that amount of experience we know exactly what works.
We understand that almost everyone at some stage has picked up a paint brush and tried their
skills.
That's fine, however painting your home or office block just isn't as easy as it may seem.
You
need to get the right type of paint, and ensure that the colours suit your home, office, or factory.
Then there's all the prep Work...
Preparing for painting is so important.
It is much easier to let a professional deal with your painting job, and for you to sit back and enjoy
the change occurring.
Paint is made up with pigments for colour, a resin or binder for adherence, driers and a base.
Water based paints are at least 30% pigment and contain special, high quality thickeners.
Generally, price is a good measure of quality, since high quality paints contain higher amounts of
superior ingredients.
Exterior paints are usually more expensive than interior paint because they use more durable,
more costly pigments and resins.
Water based paints are now the preferred paint for the exteriors because they dry faster and are less likely to crack and peel, Water based paints also emit little or no offensive fumes, and are much easier to clean up.
Carsons continue, despite our experience, to read all documentation and advice regarding new paints and their applications. Many painters of our calibre rest on their laurels, thinking the paint business has not changed. We realise that like any other business, our tools and methods must be current. Keeping up with new technology, colours and trends is the core of the professional painting service our clients have come to rely upon.
