What you need to know about Urethane paint

Introducing a game-changer in the world of paint: urethane paints. This high-performing, ultra-durable solution is now our top choice for all your high-touch surfaces, including doors, cabinetry, and trim. With its superior performance compared to traditional oil-based paints, urethane is setting a new standard in the industry.

Why Urethane Paints Are a Must-Have

Urethane paints are a fantastic alternative to traditional waterborne enamels and older oil-based options. These paints combine the best of both worlds—acrylic and urethane—to deliver exceptional results for cabinetry, trim, and doors. This acrylic, water-based hybrid with added urethane creates a product that truly stands out, offering unmatched durability and reliability.

Urethane Paint: Quick Facts

Both Sherwin Williams Emerald Urethane Trim Enamel and Kelly Moore’s Durapoxy HP Acrylic Urethane offer features that make urethane paints a superior choice for both interior and exterior applications:

  • Interior/Exterior Versatility: Provides excellent water and weatherproofing.
  • Resists Yellowing: Maintains color integrity better than oil-based paints.
  • Durable Finish: Offers a smooth, hard finish that increases longevity.
  • Easy to Clean: Withstands frequent cleanings without losing its sheen.
  • Incredible Adhesion: Ensures the paint stays put, even on high-traffic surfaces.

Low VOCs: Produces significantly less odor and environmental impact than oil paints.

Where Urethane Paints Shine

Urethane paints are among the most scuff-resistant and cleanable products available, making them ideal for high-wear areas like kitchen cabinets. Kitchens are often the heart of the home, and with daily use, cabinets can take a beating—whether from cooking mishaps, children’s toys, or regular opening and closing. Urethane paint offers the durability, scuff resistance, and ease of cleaning you need to keep your cabinets looking fresh and new for years to come.

If you’re looking for a paint that combines beauty, durability, and long-lasting performance, urethane paints are the way to go.

Urethane vs. Oil Paint: A Smarter Choice for Your Cabinets

If you’ve ever painted your cabinets with oil-based paint, you know the challenges—the strong odor can linger for days, sometimes forcing you to stay elsewhere until it clears. That’s why we strongly recommend switching to urethane paint. Not only does it offer a beautiful, durable finish, but it also has significantly fewer VOCs and a much milder odor. With urethane, you can enjoy a fresh, new look for your cabinets without the inconvenience of vacating your home. Make the smart choice and breathe easy with urethane.

Peeling, Flaking, or Chipped Paint 

Chipped, flaking, or peeling paint isn’t just unattractive; it compromises your fence’s integrity. Even small chips allow water to penetrate, leading to wood decay or metal corrosion. Address these issues promptly with professional help to ensure a smooth surface and long-lasting protection.
