Ceiling Paint (32 items found)

Your ceilings may not suffer the same bumps and scrapes that your walls do, but sun exposure, dust and moisture can leave the surfaces dull and discolored over time. The good news is that a fresh coat of ceiling paint can get them looking great again, and you can paint them yourself when you have the right products, tools, and supplies. Ace is here to help you prepare for your painting project with a wide range of interior ceiling paint options and the essentials you need to apply them.

How Is Ceiling Paint Different from Other Paints?

It's a common misconception that interior paint is suitable for all surfaces. In reality, various types of paint are available for several different surfaces in your home. Ceiling paint has a thick consistency that helps it adhere fully. As a result, it's less likely to drip and splatter onto the floor below. In this respect, it differs from wall paint, which has a more spreadable consistency that speeds up application and allows you to blend brushstrokes more easily. Because ceilings are less likely to receive physical damage, ceiling paint is usually less scratch- and chip-resistant than cabinet, door and trim paint.

Types of Ceiling Paint

When selecting ceiling paint, you'll find a variety of finishes. Many top brands offer flat, satin sheen and semi-gloss acrylic paints for ceilings. Flat ceiling paint has little to no shine or reflectivity and is one of the most popular ceiling choices, especially for rooms with low humidity levels. Satin sheen has a hint of shine and can hold up to humid conditions without staining or cracking. Choose a semi-gloss acrylic paint for even more moisture resistance and greater reflectivity.

Selecting the Right Interior Ceiling Paint

Color is one of the most important decisions when shopping for ceiling paint. Flat white ceiling paint is a great option for many settings because of its effortless versatility, but there’s a rainbow of shades to choose from if you desire. Because the light conditions in your space affect how a color looks in your home, consider getting paint samples ahead of time. This way, you can test out one or more hues and choose your favorite.

UV Resistant and Bathroom Ceiling Paint

Keep location in mind when comparing interior ceiling paint options. For sloped ceilings that get direct sun through the windows, compare the levels of UV resistance offered by ceiling paint brands.

If you're looking for bathroom ceiling paint, choose mildew-resistant products. These paints have added ingredients that help inhibit mold growth over time. You should also look for paints that can stand up to high moisture environments.
