A new premium product for ceilings
For ceilings, you can’t beat the ultra-bright, high-performance finish and one-coat coverage of Premium Ceiling Paint from Sherwin-Williams.
“This new coating is our brightest, whitest ceiling paint yet with high light reflectance and an ultra-flat sheen that makes minor surface imperfections virtually disappear,” Rich says.
Premium Ceiling Paint is designed to offer one-coat coverage with self-priming properties reducing overall time spent on your project.
Plus, it’s fast and easy to achieve a high-quality finish thanks to excellent hide and reduced spatter. The non-lapping formula blends seamlessly for an exceptionally uniform finish, reducing the worry of lap marks during application.
The premium exterior paint for moisture resistance and temperature extremes
Latitude™ Exterior Acrylic with ClimateFlex Technology™ helps keep projects on schedule with advanced technology that resists early moisture and maintains high performance standards despite temperature extremes.
This paint develops early moisture resistance in as little as 30 minutes,** so you can paint with confidence even when rain or heavy dew is forecast. Latitude applies smoothly even when air, surface and material temperatures are as low as 35°F (1.67°C) or as high as 120°F (49°C).
To keep the finish looking fresh, its durable finish protects against peeling, cracking and dirt pickup in extreme climates. Outstanding hide, coverage and block resistance make it easy to achieve a nearly flawless finish.
**Based on Sherwin-William Advisory Board Research panel (n=360) professional painters surveyed estimate they have stopped painting between two and three hours early due to the impact of high temperatures.
