Choosing the Right Paint for your Exterior

Here at Elevate Paint Pros we are proud supporters of Sherwin-Williams. Their paint is high quality and durable making it last for years to come. But Sherwin-Williams offers more to their products than just the color. When it comes to painting your home's exterior, especially in Utah's constantly fluctuating climate, there are two different types of paint that you can go with.

Superpaint Exterior Paint

Superpaint is one of Sherwin-Williams most popular products and for good reason. This durable paint offers great protection for an even better value. It's versatility allows it to be used on all kinds of surfaces such as wood, stucco, or brick. The proprietary formula goes on smooth and resists fading and peeling. With advanced acrylic-resin technology Superpaint has excellent adhesion and color retention. Compared to other exterior paints, Superpaint does an outstanding job of resisting fading, peeling, and chalking.

Duration Exterior Paint

The Duration brand of paint from Sherwin-Williams is simply put, one of the highest quality types of paint you can apply to your home. It's ability to withstand harsh weather conditions is incredible, and the unique PermaLast technology makes it so your home can last much longer without needing another paint job. The paint offers a unique thick coating that remains flexible, letting it fluctuate safely with the seasons. The MoistureGuard technology present in Duration paint also makes it much harder for moisture to get underneath the paint and ruin the underlying surface. And unlike Superpaint, Duration comes with a lifetime limited warranty which is a testament to it's durability and longevity.

Which one is right for You?

Choosing the right kind of paint for the job is just as important as the color. Superpaint and Duration are both high-quality paints that will do the job well, but they are better for different reasons. Superpaint is a premium option for those who still want to save some money. It's inherent high-quality ensures that it will do the job well for a fraction of the price. But if you want to guarantee not having to redo the paint in just a few years, Duration promises to be one of the toughest exterior paints out there.

Whether you're looking to simply get the job done well for a good price, or if you're planning on remodeling your home for the long term it's important to not only have the right paint, but the right people to apply it.
