Latex paint is a water-based paint that is commonly used for both interior and exterior surfaces. It is a popular choice for painting walls, ceilings, and trim, as well as for a variety of other surfaces, including concrete, brick, and stucco. Latex paint dries quickly and produces low levels of fumes and odor, making it easy to apply and clean up. It is also more environmentally friendly than oil-based paints, as it has a low VOC (volatile organic compound) content. Latex paint is available in a range of finishes, from flat to high-gloss, making it suitable for a range of different decorating styles. It is also highly resistant to fading, cracking, and peeling, making it a durable choice for both interior and exterior applications.
