Architectural coatings[1][2] or paints[3] are paints and other coatings used to paint the exteriors and interiors of buildings, often called exterior wall coatings or external masonry coatings.[2] Clear varnishes and lacquers are generally excluded.[1] Such products are usually designated for specific purposes such as roof coatings, wall paints, or deck finishes.[2] Coatings are eco-friendly building material that increases the efficiency of energy used and reduces impact on human well-being and the environment.[citation needed] The coatings are typically applied with brushes, rollers or sprayers.[4]
Wall coatings come in a variety of types, some of which can be applied by amateurs and DIYers without specialized training or equipment. For example, simple paint or primers can often be applied using brushes or rollers, and many people successfully complete such projects themselves.[5] Most masonry surfaces can be treated an exterior wall coating, such as render, pebbledash, stone, stucco or brick. Most coatings are designed to be microporous in nature, allowing captive moisture within the wall to evaporate outside, whilst not allowing the passage of water to be drawn inside the building, thus largely providing a secondary feature apart from decoration, and that is to weatherproof a wall, and to stop damp forming inside the building. These coatings are intended for on-site application and do not include "factory-applied coatings for building products such as vinyl siding or aluminium window frames [that] may ultimately be used for architectural end-uses".[2]
