When you enter your home, you should immediately feel ‘at home’. When you enter someone else's home, you know what the house owner is ‘at home’ in.
Interior painting is a matter of comfort, pride, convenience, demonstration, flaunting, and many more expressions for the house owner or residents.
Interior Paint and painting are much different than exteriors in terms of
Selection of the right type of paint- OBD, economy, VFM, Premium, Luxury, Ultra-Premium and functional paints.
Finish and Color selection take the leading role in the entire process.
Mazon Solutions gives an added advantage to its customers by recommending and carrying out high degree of surface preparation to prevent, resist and delay the efflorescence coming out from the wall and ceilings. For new application it identifies and recommends proper water proofing in the area potential for efflorescence.
Proper treatment for the area potential for mold develop need to be done to prevent the interiors looking shabby. Understanding the need to use suitable primer while applying and switching over from one to another coating system is critical.
Choice and expression of the residents.
Intended activities in the compartment- Hot cold colors.
Size of the rooms.
Lighting.
Colors of fixtures like curtain, door, sofa etc.
Contrast colors.
Durability, opacity and other factors.
Type of rooms, recommended to have glossy finish for living rooms, but not for bed rooms.
Undulation on the wall- Sheen and glossy finish expose the undulation and unevenness, matt finish masks them.
Workability and cost- sheen and above finishes need extremely high degree of base coat preparation, which takes more time, materials and money.
These are the factors to be taking into account before choosing the right sheen.
Interior paints are prone to many household stains like- Tea, Coffee, dirty water splash, pickle, sauce, mild chemicals, pen, pencil, temp marker etc. Cleanability of these stains largely depend on the paint quality, as a thumb rule- economy paints have poor washability and it improves as we go to VFM till ultra-luxury paints. There are few stain-resistant paints with all the major paint manufacturers who claim the film to be washable against almost all the types of stains (barring few stubborn stains like Permanent marker, ball pen, turmeric etc.).
MAZON team helps the owner to decide the type of paint as per his/her cleanability expectations.
Gone are the days of smooth finishes, now using textures, stencils or pasting wall paper are in vogue.
Mazon team will help you to choose the right design for these products suiting your choice.

The world of exterior paints and paintings is entirely different from the interiors.
Exterior paints should have the below characteristics:
UV Resistant Coating:They should have excellent UV resistance, so that paint should not chalk at least for a few years from the painting date.
Anti-Fading Colours: Fading of shades on exteriors is a common issue. Turning Red into Pink, Blue into sky blue, Yellow into cream, etc., one notices around him. The Mazon team will help the owner select the shades that are based on non-fading inorganic or hybrid chemistry colourants.
Anti-Algal and Anti-Fungal Properties: Exterior paint should have enough anti-algal and anti-fungal properties to counter the development of algae and mould growth.
Elastomeric and Anti-carbonation coating: To conceal the minor cracks on the wall and to prevent the ingress of moisture, CO2, and decaying gases into the structure.
Texture and renders on exteriors: Texture paints conceal the unevenness of the plastering in addition to giving a different look to the wall. Mazon will advise a range of texture and non-smooth finishes for exteriors, like fine texture, medium texture, heavy texture, spray compound, and stone-like finishes, to get an impressive look and long life together.
Efflorescence and waterproofing: Ideally, there must be enough waterproofing done at the time of construction to eliminate the efflorescence post-construction, but practically, efflorescence (or Noni) is all around us. Even after thousands of research studies around the world, there is no permanent cure for this issue; however, by using suitable products and procedures, this issue can be delayed for a significant period of time. The Mazon team will study the issue and carry out the procedure in the best possible way to delay or resist the efflorescence.
Roof coatings:Roof coating is required not only to prevent water seepage or leakage from the roof but also to keep the rooms and halls underneath cooler. Mazon doesn’t only recommend the best available paints for the roof but also does the complete execution of the application, end to end.
Repainting in exteriors:Repainting in exteriors is much more cumbersome than painting interiors. A thorough scraping of old paints, a jet water wash, and any required repairs are prerequisites before applying a high-quality primer.
Mazon's team, backed up by Technology, is well trained in carrying out such activities to give a long life and aesthetics to your exterior wall. After all, your exteriors are being seen by everyone.
For exteriors, we offer a fresh painting assessment of plastering and necessary recommendations.
