Living in West Palm Beach means you’ll be enjoying plenty of sunshine throughout the year. While sunny days are one of the best perks of living in Florida, they can also pose a challenge when it comes to maintaining your home’s exterior paint. At CertaPro Painters\u00ae of West Palm Beach & Boynton Beach, FL, we specialize in helping homeowners choose the best long-lasting paint colors that can withstand increased sun exposure. Here are some of our tips for selecting paint colors that stay vibrant through the sun’s rays:<\/p>\n
Understand the Impact of UV Rays<\/strong><\/p>\n UV rays are known for fading exterior paint’s vibrancy over time. To combat this, we suggest using lighter colors as darker shades tend to absorb more heat and fade faster. Light colors reflect more sunlight, which helps keep your paint looking fresher in the long run and can even help keep your home cooler.<\/p>\n Use High-Quality Paints<\/strong><\/p>\n Not all paints are created equal, especially when it comes to resisting sun exposure. High-quality paints with UV inhibitors are a must for sunny climates like West Palm Beach. These kind of paints are formulated to stop fading and will maintain its color clarity for years.<\/p>\n Select the Right Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n The finish of your exterior paint also plays a crucial role in how its color stand up to the sun. We recommend using satin or semi-gloss finishes as they help reflect UV rays better than flatter sheens. Additionally, these finishes are easier to clean, which is perfect for handling the occasional dust and salt spray that comes from living in a coastal environment.<\/p>\n Consider the Aesthetics of Fade-Resistant Colors<\/strong><\/p>\n Think about how certain colors will fade over time. The painters at CertaPro Painters\u00ae of West Palm Beach & Boynton Beach, FL suggest colors like beige, taupe, light grey, and pastels as they are more resilient when it comes to fading and provide a timeless, coastal aesthetic.<\/p>\n Ready to choose a paint color that will stand up to the Florida sun?
