My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

White heating grate

13 years ago
Did you paint the white heating grate? We have those in each room of our MA home & I'm wondering if they can safely be painted.

    Oh thanks. F. Schumacher makes it. It's usually a to the trade only vendor but I've seen their wallpaper books at local wallpaper and home design stores. They have a few patterns with this look. It's called Shadows I think.

      We did paint it. All of them are painted in our whole house.

      Did you prime & use regular latex?

      We didn't have to prime since it already was painted. We just used regular latex paint over what was there after we cleaned it with some soap and water. Hope this helps and good luck with your project!
