Benefits of automated painting tools for home painting
Automated painting tools are effective tools that save time, reduce manual error and help achieve professional results.
Speed and productivity: Painting tools maximize productivity since these machines operate quicker than humans and they also have no burnouts like professionals.
Efficiency and quality: Automated painting tools cover larger spaces quickly and in turn reduce labor costs and also provide professional results that are satisfactory.
Precision: Automated painting tools are made to follow instructions and provide an even finish without any errors. These tools maintain the paint thickness, the texture and the direction of application all throughout.
Reduced labor costs & human error: Automated painting tools do not make human errors like missing spots, damaging walls, or being inconsistent with application. This reduces labor costs and the margin for error, thereby reducing touch-up costs as well.
Safety: Automated tools can keep humans away from harmful fumes, dust or any other side effects of painting by completing the job quickly.
House painting tools and equipment are essential for a lasting result, professional finish and minimal error when it comes to the exteriors of homes.
Paint brushes and rollers: From having high-quality paint brushes and rollers to having various sizes of these, it is essential to understand the thickness of paint, coating, the strokes and the coverage. For example, for corners it is best to use small paint brushes.
Sprayers: This is the best solution when you have to cover large walls, roofs or fences. Sprayers cover larger areas with an event coating quickly in comparison to manual paint jobs with brushes or rollers.
Extension Poles: For hard-to-access areas like top corners, second floors, roofs, there are extension poles. These poles can hold a brush or a roller and help you easily paint inaccessible areas.
Pressure Washer: Exterior walls are large to clean manually and can take a lot of time. Also, they might attract a lot of dirt, grime and other paint particles making it difficult to clean manually. Pressure washers or power washers use force with water to cover large expanses, remove tough stains and grime and save time.
Drop Cloth and Masking Tape: Whether you manually paint or use tools, painting projects lead to splatters, dust and other damages to the surrounding area. Drop clothes help cover furniture, cars, floor and any other precious structures. Masking tape allows you to cover the areas you don’t wish to paint. It prevents smudges, paint splatters and more.
Primer: It is best to use a primer before any paint is applied on exterior walls to provide stronger adhesion and a smooth surface for the primary paint to last.
Sandpaper: Along with washing the walls, you can also use sandpaper to scrape out oil paint, dirt or other particles to prep the walls for new paint.
Ladder: Ladders ensure you have easy and safe access to higher areas in any house painting project. Even scaffolding can be used for larger, multi-storey structures.
Paint mixer: Paint mixers are automated tools that help you mix paint and create the perfect consistency while saving time.
Buckets and trays: Buckets and trays are imperative as they store your paint effectively. Buckets are used for brushes and trays are perfect for rollers.
House painting projects are often successful because of the painting tools and equipment used.
Painter’s Tape: Painter’s tape, also known as masking tape is used to conceal or mask off areas like door frames, window frames or any other areas that are not to be painted. It helps create precise paint lines and prevents bleeding or smudges onto other spaces.
Brushes and rollers: Rollers are used for larger spaces and inaccessible areas whereas brushes are used for precision in areas like the trim, corners and tough spaces. It is important to have high-quality brushes and rollers for a smooth finish.
Drop Cloths: Covering floors, furniture and other areas is imperative and drop cloths are used to conceal these areas, avoiding splatters, smudges and paint stains.
Paint Liners and Trays: Paint trays distribute the paint evenly and help brushes take on paint effectively, whereas liners help in taking off excessive paint and avoiding wastage of paint.
Sanding Materials: Paint adheres to smooth and clean surfaces only. Using sandpaper or sanding sponges helps clean the wall, remove imperfections and old paint, while providing a smooth surface for primers. You can also use an automated sanding machine that quickly clears the wall and removes imperfections.
Caulking Gun and Caulk: Caulk is used to seal and conceal gaps, cracks and other holes around hinges, door frames and window frames.
Primer: A primer is required to prep walls for paint and an effective finish. The primer needs to be chosen in accordance with the surface type and to enhance adhesion and conceal imperfections.
Stepladder: Ladders and stepladders are needed to cover top corners, ceilings, loft painting etc.
Solvent and Brush cleaner: Maintain brushes and rollers by cleaning them with solvents and ensuring they are clean for the next project.
Paint mixer or stirrer: A paint mixer or a stirrer is an automated machine used to mix all materials effectively and stir the paint effectively to disperse the paint particles.
Although automated tools are taking over most human tasks, it is essential for a professional painter to supervise and undertake your home painting project. Automated tools require humans for operations and Nerolac’s NXTGEN Services can help you get a professional to seamlessly transform your home.
