Ideal Uses for Specialty Finishes at Home
Residential property owners can express their individuality and build a one-of-a-kind design with specialty finishes. Here are some suggestions on how to personalize a place using decorative finishes:
- A Modern, Industrial Bedroom: Incorporating rugged textures and weathered wood into an industrial bedroom design gives it a utilitarian flair. Exposed brick walls and other raw, unfinished building materials are common. Faux finishes, such as concrete finish, can be used to create similar effects.
- A Rustic Living Room: Rustic wood finishes and earthy tones characterize traditional rustic décor, which evokes images of log cabins. To achieve this look, dark wood finishes and accents in dark colors are perfect choices.
- An Inviting, Energetic Home Office: It is not required for your home office to feel stuffy and formal. On the contrary, if you’ve built a fun working environment, you’ll be more likely to enjoy spending time at your desk. Paint finishes in bright, vivid colors and diverse textures are one method to achieve this.

What Are Specialty Finishes?
Painting services typically use standard paints and finishes to create a smooth, one-dimensional appearance on walls and surfaces. Painters that specialize in decorative finishes use a combination of paints, tools, and methods to produce a one-of-a-kind look known as faux painting. Many homeowners prefer specialty paint finishes over the more conventional eggshell paints, matte paints, and gloss paints because they add character and improve the appearance of their homes. Specialty finishes also boast exterior durability to prevent things like mold or wildlife damage, among others.

Here are some of the wall texture types that are available at Painter Bros. Browse through our diverse selection and choose the one that best suits your needs and taste:
CMU Coatings (Concrete Masonry Unit): These are adaptable and eco-friendly coatings that can be used for a variety of purposes. CMU coatings offer a stunning, multi-color surface that preserves and accentuates the aesthetic of concrete and can be utilized in outdoor and indoor projects. This is ideal for patios, porches, pathways, pool decks, and other outdoor spaces.
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is a highly durable finish that is most used on stained wood. It has the classic appearance of natural wood and may help you achieve whatever style you want if you utilize it well. In addition, it serves as a protective coating.
Varnish
Varnish is a clear, transparent finish that can cover surfaces, paintings, and other ornamental objects with a protective layer. It can be applied to wood flooring, interior wood panels and trims, and furnishings to protect and improve their appearance. Varnish is ideal for outdoor applications and raw wood used for rustic home exterior doors and trim.
Powder Coatings
Powder coating is a popular method of finishing steel and other metal items. It’s usually applied as a dry powder in the form of a spray applicator. They are most commonly used on metallic elements such as metallic roofs, allowing them to maintain their structure and durability.
Elastomeric
Elastomeric finish is a high-end wall or roof coating that is ten times thicker than regular paint. When applied to a surface, elastomeric paint generates an extremely thick yet flexible layer, providing exterior waterproofing advantages. It can stretch to two times its original length at a minimum. Concrete, brick, stucco, and other materials can all benefit from elastomeric coatings. It can also be used on walls and roofs.
Acrylic
Acrylic paint may be used on various indoor and outdoor surfaces, including concrete, stone, wood, and particle boards, making it an excellent choice for all-purpose painting. In addition to their great adhesive capabilities, acrylic paints blister and break less than other varieties of paint. This is why acrylic finish is commonly used to paint outside surfaces and interior walls in high-traffic areas such as the kitchen and living room.
Siloxane Clear Coat
This coat maintains the appearance of the surface with a clean, natural, and glassy-looking finish. You can use it on various surfaces, including porous tile or color-integrated stucco and porous natural stone.
Lacquer
A lacquer finish is a transparent coating derived from the sap of the lacquer tree. It's a sophisticated wood finishing that's popular in high-end furnishings. It dries quickly, is water-resistant, and retains its transparency over time.
Oil-Based Glaze
Once the base coat has dried, a glaze can be applied; the benefit of an oil-based glaze over a water-based glaze is that it won't peel off as easily with water and soap. Gilded surfaces, ceilings, walls, stucco, and plaster, just to mention a few, can all be glazed.
Venetian Plaster
The method of applying a marble-like finish to surfaces, walls, and ceilings to give them a rich and polished appearance is known as Venetian or Italian plastering. Venetian plaster creates a natural effect on walls and surfaces. This finish can be utilized in various ways to bring a touch of elegance to a home. Other spaces where Venetian plaster will add a classic elegance are the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom.
Epoxy
Epoxy paint is ideal if you want a hard-wearing, low-maintenance surface with a great shine. It works well in regions with much traffic, use, and chemical spills. It protects your surfaces from harm, is shock-resistant, and is simple to keep clean. This is why it is commonly used for industrial purposes. Epoxy paint can be used in garages, warehouses, basements, and other high-traffic locations.
Grit Coating
Grit coating appeals to the sense of touch. It's been given a fine grit to make it feel like sandpaper. The degree of texture used can be precisely regulated during application to achieve the desired effect. The coating's grip makes it an excellent non-slip surface. This coating is best used for sports or fitness-related areas, such as a home gym.
Importance of Finishing Over Stain or Paint on the Interior and Exterior of Your Home
Finishing your home’s exterior and interior surfaces after staining or painting serves several purposes. One is to safeguard the material of the surface. For instance, finishes protect the wood by keeping moisture out of the grain and shielding it from heat, abrasion, and even pests. Another purpose is to improve the aesthetic by adding colors, contrast, depth, or even changing the texture.
