Interior vs Exterior Paint in Kenya: Which Finish Should You Choose?

Understand the difference between interior and exterior paint before choosing a finish for Kenyan walls, ceilings, trim, and facades.

Interior vs exterior paint in Kenya\n\nInterior and exterior paint are designed for different stresses. Interior walls mainly need good appearance, cleanability, and low odour. Exterior walls face sun, rain, dust, temperature changes, and damp, so the coating and preparation need to handle weather exposure.\n\nFor bedrooms and living spaces, choose a finish that suits the traffic and cleaning you expect. Kitchens, corridors, and children's rooms often benefit from a more washable finish. For exterior masonry, repair cracks, remove loose material, control damp, and use an exterior product rather than treating interior paint as a cheaper substitute.\n\nThe right choice also depends on the substrate and finish you want. Browse interior paint options, browse exterior options, or ask us to match a product to your surface.
