When interior walls of homes and businesses are built, finishing them with drywall has been  the traditional choice of homeowners and contractors alike.  One of the most common ways to design these walls is with wooden studs and drywall, which is sanded and painted. Exterior walls are also equipped with insulation.  While they are sturdy and visually appealing when dry, as soon as water enters the room, the weaknesses become apparent, as shown in this experiment.

When it comes to painting your EnduraFlood wall, there are two options available depending on your preferred look. Most installations use EnduraFlood wall panels with an accent color, so repainting the upper portion of the wall is not required, saving you both time and cost.

Both Endura boards and common cement boards can easily be pre-painted on a flat surface
