Why you would choose one over the other, what their benefits might be and why latex paints are often cheaper than acrylics. In this article, we are going to answer those questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Latex Paint?<\/h2>\n<p>Before we can determine the benefits of each painting medium, we will need to establish what they are, how they are made, and what they are used for. We will start with latex paint. Many ask Is latex paint water-based? The short answer is yes. Latex paints are water-based while acrylics contain chemicals. This gives latex paint the advantage of being able to wash off very easily from surfaces and your paintbrushes. It also means this paint is of a much thinner consistency, making it dry very quickly. Latex paints also come in different gloss finish options, while acrylic paint usually has a standard matte finish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032159\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex.jpg\" alt=\"acrylic latex\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/acrylic-latex-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is Latex Paint Used For?<\/h3>\n<p>Both mediums are used for home projects and paint jobs as they come in a wide range of colors and are durable indoor paints. Latex is commonly used for covering larger areas as it is sold in bigger quantities than acrylics usually are. Another advantage of using latex paints is that they generally do not have an odor being water-based. Which makes them safer and non-toxic when exposed to children, pets, or skin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032162\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based.jpg\" alt=\"is acrylic paint water based\" width=\"880\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-300x230.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-768x590.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-30x23.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-75x58.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-110x85.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-160x123.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-500x384.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-610x469.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-acrylic-paint-water-based-480x369.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits of Using Latex versus Acrylic Paint<\/h3>\n<p>Aside from the low odor and low toxicity, latex paints are wonderful indoor paint options as they tend to maintain their colors over time and resists chalking. This would be a good medium to use when painting areas with high humidity or moisture levels. Latex paints acts as a sealer for the surface and will prevent the growth of mold and other fungi. It must be painted on a dry surface however for best results. This versatile painting medium can be used on many surfaces including wood, brick, metal, and cement. Not to mention the fabulously quick drying time, making it easier to do more with less stress.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap su-u-trim sue-shadow-inline-no\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-simple\"><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Water-based<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Safer and non-toxic<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>No harsh fumes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>No chemicals required<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Easy clean up for brushes and surfaces with soap and water<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Dries very quickly<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Available in various finish options<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Resistant to mildew and mold<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Resist chalking<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Not durable for outdoor use<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Not resistant to extreme temperatures<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Must be applied to a dry and primed surface for best results<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Not a breathable paint<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What Is Acrylic Paint?<\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned above, acrylic paints are made with chemicals and acrylic resins.

Acrylic house paints, however, are much stronger and will require the use of thinners or harsh chemicals to clean up your area and your brushes. These are made to be used on interior and for some, exterior walls. This means they will last much longer than using a tube of your regular artist acrylics on the wall. Acrylics for home projects also come in bigger paint cans so you can cover more whether it&#8217;s just a room or the whole house.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032163\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based.jpg\" alt=\"is latex paint water based\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/is-latex-paint-water-based-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What are Acrylic Paints Used For?<\/h3>\n<p>These paints can be used on paper, wood, canvas, plaster, ceramics, and more!

This is considered to be one of the best quality latex paints on the market, the best of both paints combined. An acrylic resin is added to this latex paint to give it the best possible adhesion and durability qualities. This allows your paint to contract and expand along with temperature fluctuations, and weather changes and still maintain a glossy finish. Other paints do not offer this quality, and this is why they tend to peel and crack on outdoor surfaces.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Because of the acrylic resin in these paints, they offer superior adhesion on surfaces like metal and wood. Making them ideal for furniture or metal painting too.

They are also environmentally friendly being free of chemical solvents, unlike normal latex paints. This makes acrylic latex paints safer to use and easier to clean up from your brushes and surfaces using soap and water. Acrylic latex paints will also not fade, crack or yellow over time. Their color retention ability is superior to other latex and oil-based paints.<\/p>\n<p>These paints have a fast-drying time and will maintain resistance to mold, chipping, moisture damage, and other problems usually associated with other paint options. Acrylic latex paints are also easy to maintain once are on your surface. Dirty walls and scuff marks can easily be wiped down without damaging or removing the paint. There are some disadvantages of using this medium too. Being such top quality, acrylic latex paints are very expensive. They also should only be used on clean, prepped, and primed surfaces for the best results and adhesion. As this paint is water-based, it may cause rusting when liberally applied to certain metals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sue-shadow-wrap su-u-trim sue-shadow-inline-no\"><div class=\"sue-shadow sue-shadow-style-simple\"><div class=\"sue-panel\" data-url=\"\" data-target=\"self\" style=\"background-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:0px;box-shadow:0px 1px 2px #eeeeee;border:1px solid #cccccc\"><div class=\"sue-panel-content su-u-trim\" style=\"padding:15px;text-align:left\"><div class=\"su-row\"><div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #008000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>PROS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Best of both mediums<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Water-based<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Easy cleanup and safe to use<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>No chemicals or solvents required<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>No yellowing, chipping, or cracking<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Amazing color retention<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Indoor and outdoor use<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Can handle exposure to extreme temperatures and weather conditions<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check-circle\" style=\"color:#008000\"><\/i> <strong>Can be used on a variety of surfaces<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"su-column su-column-size-1-2\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>CONS<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:5px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Will not work on wet, dirty, or rough surfaces<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>May cause rusting to certain metals<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-times-circle\" style=\"color:#ff0000\"><\/i> <strong>Expensive<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>Now that we know the different paint options in the way of latex versus acrylic paints, let&#8217;s take a look at some tips when using these mediums for your projects.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032164\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint.jpg\" alt=\"latex paint\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/latex-paint-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Tips and Tricks When Using Latex and Acrylic Paints<\/h2>\n<p>When painting your home or furniture, there are some simple tips to remember to get the best out of your paints and your surfaces.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You will need:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Drop cloth<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Old rag<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Tape<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Primer<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Brushes and rollers<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Paint<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Method:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Always prep your surface<\/strong> \u2013 This can be done by first wiping down your wall with a damp cloth to remove any marks or dirt. Now lay down your drop cloth or an old sheet. Make sure it covers your floor area properly to avoid spills.<\/li>\n<li>Apply your tape to any areas that should not get paint over them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply a primer <\/strong>\u2013 now that your area is ready, you can apply a primer to the area and let that dry completely. This may take a while depending on the size of your area and how many layers you are using. You can apply up to three coats if you need to.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get Painting<\/strong> &#8211; Once that is dry you can start to apply your paint to your wall or furniture. If you plan on using more than one coat, be sure to wait for the initial layers to dry before adding more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What tools to use<\/strong> &#8211; Paintbrushes and rollers can be used for different things. Depending on the sizing, smaller places are easier to get to and coat with a thinner brush. If you are able to go over these with your roller afterward, you will notice how it removes any bubbles or uneven spots.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Where to start<\/strong> -It is always best to start with the trim or edges before covering the larger area when painting walls. Carefully paint your trims with a small brush to get to the hard-to-reach places ensuring maximum coverage. Then for a smoother effect, quickly go over that paint with a roller before it dries. This will avoid your edges looking different from the rest of the wall once you are done.<\/li>\n<li>After a day or two, once your surface is dry you can wipe it down and use it without fear of damage or fading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\"><strong>We hoped you enjoyed reading about acrylic vs latex paints.

This is often why acrylic mediums are so much thicker than water-based options. These paints cannot be cleaned up with water and will need the aid of chemicals or thinners to remove them. This factor is also what makes acrylic paints so much more durable than oil and latex options.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is The Difference Between Acrylic and Latex Paint?<\/h3>\n<p>Latex paint is water-based and safer to use than acrylic. This also means that it is easily washed off surfaces and therefore not a durable option for outdoor use. Latex paints also do not give off a strong odor as other paints would, and they come in a variety of finishes. Acrylic paints are chemical-based, thus being tougher and more versatile than latex. Although acrylics often come with a natural matte finish or fewer gloss options than latex paints do. Acrylic paints are elastic and breathable, which allows them to be used on different surfaces without being damaged as easily as other paints would.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>What is Acrylic Latex?<\/h3>\n<p>Acrylic latex paints are water-based with acrylic resin included. This gives them the benefits from both paint mediums combined, forming heavy-duty, long-lasting paint. Unfortunately, this is also what makes them so pricey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1032161\" src=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint.jpg\" alt=\"difference between acrylic and latex paint\" width=\"880\" height=\"587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint.jpg 880w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-30x20.jpg 30w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-75x50.jpg 75w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-110x73.jpg 110w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-160x107.jpg 160w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-500x334.jpg 500w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-610x407.jpg 610w, https:\/\/acrylgiessen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/difference-between-acrylic-and-latex-paint-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 880px) 100vw, 880px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; When presented with the various paint options out there, you may have asked yourself what the difference between acrylic and latex paint is.

She worked for a company offering corporate wellness programs for several years before opening her own therapy practice. In 2015, she was asked by a digital marketer friend to join her company as a content creator, and it was here that she discovered her enthusiasm for writing. Since entering the world of content creation, she has gained a lot of experience over the years writing about various topics such as beauty, health, wellness, travel, crafting, and much more. Due to various circumstances, she had to give up her therapy practice and now works as a freelance writer.
