Emulsion paint is not ideal for tiles as it may not adhere properly and can chip or peel off over time due to the non-porous nature of tiles. If painting tiles, it is best to use a specialised tile or epoxy-based paint designed for smooth surfaces. Proper surface preparation, including sanding and priming, is necessary for a long-lasting finish. For roof tiles and brick work, Berger’s WeatherCoat Long Life PU Tile Coat can be used for durable paint and superior sheen.

This is a type of water-based paint with acrylic or vinyl resins used in its composition, giving it a smooth, durable, and easy-to-clean finish. It offers quick drying, low odour, and very good coverage, making it suitable for both interior and exterior walls. It can also be used on concrete, plaster, and drywall. Also, acrylic emulsion paint is moisture—and fade-resistant and retains the look for a longer period.
