Choosing the right types of Jotun paints can feel overwhelming because every surface has different needs. Interior walls must look clean and pleasant to see every day. Exterior areas must withstand heat, rain, and weather changes. Meanwhile, project applications often demand stronger protection for steel, concrete, or industrial floors.
That’s why the most important step is not selecting a product immediately—but understanding the types of Jotun paints and what each category is designed to do. Once you know the categories, it becomes much easier to match the right paint to your home, commercial building, or structural project.
If you still have a unique situation after reading this guide, feel free to discuss it with our team. We can help ensure your choice fits your actual on-site conditions.
Why Understanding the Types of Jotun Paints Matters
Choosing paint is often confusing not because there are too many products, but because each area has different requirements. For example:
- Interior → needs a smooth, clean finish that looks pleasant every day.
- Exterior → must withstand heat, rain, and extreme weather changes.
- Wood & Metal → require special treatment so the surfaces stay durable and don’t get damaged easily.
- Project / industrial areas → require long-term resistance against abrasion, corrosion, chemicals, or harsh environments.
When you understand the basic needs first, you’ll know which category to go to—without having to study the technical details of every product.
