What Is Waterproof Paint?
Waterproof paint is either water-resistant or entirely waterproof and can be used inside the home in bathrooms or basements or used outside the home on objects such as boats, birdbaths or water tanks. It often is made with a latex, oil or concrete base, all of which can provide a strong waterproof seal. The kind of waterproof paint used depends on where it is being applied and how much moisture it must sustain. Inside the home, it often is used on surfaces made of concrete or wood. Inside the home, this paint often is used to protect bathroom or basement walls from leaking or from excessive moisture. When applied to cement walls in the basement, it can help avoid water seepage and the resulting damage to a home’s foundation. In turn, it also can prevent damage that can lead to costly repairs.
