Bathroom Ceiling Paint Selection And Application Tips

Selecting the right paint and adhering to some basic application tips can help avoid a disaster and make bathroom ceiling paint jobs easier.Painting the ceiling of your bathroom is awkward and messy at times. You have to take in account for paint to fall downward due to gravity while balancing on a ladder. 

Selecting The Right Bathroom Ceiling Paint

The bathroom is a place that is full of moisture and not selecting the right type of paint can lead to mold. For bathrooms it is recommended to use high gloss paint. High gloss paint will shield your wall from the moisture that can be built up by hot water, steam and condensation that eventually causes mold.

Ceiling Painting Tips

Using a paint roller is the most effective tool with bathroom ceiling paint jobs. To use the paint roller correctly, make sure the paint is the right consistency, you do not overload the roller and the strokes you use are not too fast. This will help eliminate dripping.

Using an extension pole will help alleviate the pressure on your back. Make sure you hold it out at an angle while rolling and do not extend it too far. Extending the pole too far will make it feel like it weighs twice as much.

Always remember, if you are working with a new surface, prime the ceiling first. Afterwards continue by cutting in all edges, corners and around fixtures before you start rolling.
