But the reality is that there is a difference, and as experts in this industry we would like to help you understand exactly what that difference is so that you can make the right decision for your properties. Simply put, paint is for aesthetics and coating is for performance.

Paint is used to protect all sorts of buildings and structures from the effects of water and sun. Wooden buildings such as houses are usually painted because a coat of paint prevents water seeping into the wood and making it rot. The paint also helps to prevent the wood from drying out in the hot sun.
