What is ceiling paint?

Ceiling paint is a specific type of paint that is formulated to be applied to ceilings. It is typically designed to have a higher viscosity and sheen level compared to wall paint, which helps it to cover imperfections and create a smooth, uniform finish.

Ceiling paint is often white or off-white in color, as these shades can help to reflect light and make a space appear brighter and larger. However, ceiling paint is also available in a variety of other colors to suit different design preferences.

When choosing ceiling paint, it is important to consider factors such as the type of surface being painted (e.g. drywall, plaster, or textured ceilings), the level of humidity in the room, and the desired finish (e.g. matte, eggshell, or semi-gloss).

It is generally recommended to use a paint roller with a long handle when applying ceiling paint, as this can help to minimize strain on the arms and neck. Additionally, it is important to properly prepare the surface by cleaning and priming it before applying the paint to ensure a smooth and long-lasting finish.
