Architectural coatings
Architectural coatings or paints are paints and other coatings used to paint the exteriors and interiors of buildings. Clear varnishes and lacquers are generally excluded. Such products are usually designated for specific purposes such as roof coatings, wall paints, or deck finishes. The coatings are typically applied with brushes, rollers or sprayers. These coatings are intended for on-site application and do not include "factory-applied coatings for building products such as vinyl siding or aluminum window frames [that] may ultimately be used for architectural end-uses".
