Why PPG Is a Smart Choice for Ottawa Projects

PPG Industries is one of the world's largest coatings manufacturers, and their paint lines are trusted by professional painters and homeowners alike. Randall's carries the full PPG lineup alongside our other premium brands. Explore the full range of services we offer, or browse our portfolio to see PPG products at work in real Ottawa homes.

Best PPG Interior Paints for Ottawa Homes

PPG Manor Hall Interior

The top of the PPG interior line. Manor Hall is a zero-VOC, 100% acrylic latex paint with exceptional durability and washability. Its smooth, level finish resists burnishing and mildew, making it ideal for high-traffic hallways, family rooms, and open-concept living spaces. Randall's staff recommend the Eggshell finish for walls and Satin for trim, and our guide on what's the best paint finish for every room in your home explains why. For a comparable premium interior option, see our c2 luxe interior paint line.

PPG Speedhide Interior

A professional-grade paint designed for excellent coverage and quick-dry performance. Speedhide is a favourite among Ottawa painters and contractors for rental properties, offices, and multi-room residential projects where efficiency and cost-effectiveness matter. For artist and designer-grade colour depth, also explore our c2 studio collection.

PPG Kitchen & Bath

Specifically formulated for high-humidity environments, PPG Kitchen & Bath resists moisture, mildew, and staining. Ottawa kitchens and bathrooms experience significant humidity fluctuations, especially in winter. Our guide on what's the best type of paint for bathrooms and kitchens helps you choose, and our kitchen bathroom hardware range completes the room.

PPG Speed Finish Ceiling Paint

A flat, spatter-resistant ceiling paint that dries quickly and provides an ultra-smooth finish. Its formulation is specifically designed for overhead application, reducing drips and providing excellent hide of surface imperfections. For a comparable dedicated ceiling product, see our c2 ceiling paint.

Best PPG Exterior Paints for Ottawa's Climate

Acri-Shield Max Exterior

PPG's premium exterior paint is engineered to withstand extreme weather, exactly what Ottawa demands. Acri-Shield Max offers superior adhesion, flexibility, and fade resistance. It resists cracking and peeling through multiple freeze-thaw cycles. To get the most from it, review common exterior painting mistakes and how to prevent them before you start.

PPG Sun Proof Exterior

A solid mid-range exterior option with good durability and colour retention. Sun Proof is an excellent choice for Ottawa homeowners who want reliable exterior protection without the premium price tag of Acri-Shield Max. Timing matters too, so see our advice on when is the best time of year to paint indoors or outdoors.

PPG Olympic Solid Stain

For decks, fences, and siding where you want solid colour coverage that breathes, Olympic Solid Stain is a popular choice. It resists peeling and blistering better than traditional exterior paint on horizontal wood surfaces. For hard-surface outdoor areas, our sika epoxy flooring solutions provide similar durable protection.

PPG Primers: The Foundation of a Lasting Finish

A good primer is essential for paint adhesion and longevity, especially in Ottawa where temperature extremes stress coatings. Understanding the role of primer when and why you should use it helps you pick the right one. For a quality interior option, see our c2 interior wallboard primer. PPG offers several primer options:

  • Speedhide MaxPrime Interior Latex Primer: A fast-drying, high-hiding primer for interior walls and trim.
  • Seal Grip Interior/Exterior Latex Primer: An excellent all-purpose primer with superior adhesion to glossy and hard-to-coat surfaces.
  • Seal Grip Alkyd Primer: A solvent-based primer for maximum stain-blocking on surfaces with water stains, smoke damage, or tannin bleed.
