To choose cushions for a sofa or curtains for a room is not as difficult as the color of the walls. After all, this will not be for one year. In addition, when selecting a paint, many factors must be considered. And the process of dyeing is not as easy as it might seem at first glance.
Recommendations for painting the wall in an apartment
Krazenhenyeny should look perfect. If the work will be done not qualitatively, then all the stains, villi from the brush, the wrong strokes and cracks will be constantly thrown into the eyes. To achieve a good result, you need to adhere to some sequence.
Peredokraskoy walls must be put in order and prepared. It will be easier if the walls were not painted before the first day. In this case, all dirt and dust must be carefully removed from the plastered surface. In addition, you need to check in advance whether there are cracks on the wall and other irregularities. If they are available, then they must be eliminated. To do this, use putty. After puttying again, clean the surface of the walls from dirt and dust. If this is not done, then the paint will not be smooth. In the future because of this, cracks and peeling may appear.
If your walls were painted or wallpapered, then you will have to act differently. First, you must carefully remove the previous layer of wallpaper or paint from the wall, and also clean the adhesive residue from the wall. There are times when the wallpaper is glued so tightly that they can not be torn off. In such cases, sometimes paint the walls without cleaning them. However, the surface will first have to be primed with a special primer alkyd paint, diluted with alcohol in proportions of 1: 3.
If there are old cracks, oil spots, fungus and other defects on the walls, then the affected areas must first be treated with an acidic or alkaline solution or removed mechanically. Pieces of poor plaster should be removed and replaced with a new layer. Cracks need to be covered with alabaster.
Only after all this, you can apply a primer to the walls. Penetrating in the surface, the soil will strengthen it and help improve the adhesion of the applied layers of putty and various paints. To achieve a smooth surface of the walls, the ground surface must be treated with a fine plaster, and then a second layer of soil is applied. The spray can be applied only when the surface is completely dry. The paint is applied in several layers in the direction of the light rays.
How to properly paint the walls?
It is difficult to paint walls without knowledge and knowledge. After all, one wrong smear can spoil all the work. Therefore, when staining, adhere to these simple tips:
- The paint should be applied evenly. First move in one direction, and then - perpendicular to the first. Do not be lazy to shade the paint, otherwise the surface will be colored unevenly. The surplus of paint will run off and the surface will not get the best appearance. For this reason, do not use thicker or use too liquid paints.
- The last movement of the brush must be done from above - down.
- If you use paint on the basis of drying oil, then at the end with light smoothing movements you need to draw perpendicular to the direction of the previous smear. For this, it is best to use a hair brush.
Walls of large areas should initially be divided into smaller areas. They can be limited by seams or slats. If the paint on drying oil, then the door leaf can be painted completely, but when using oil enamels, the surface must be divided into small areas.
If the surface with depressions and embossed, then do not put a large amount of paint on them, as it will begin to drain and frown. In addition, on such surfaces, the paint dries a long time.
What paint paint the walls?
There is a variety of varieties of paints. Therefore, when painting the paint, take into account the particular features of the room. For example, in the bathroom and in the kitchen there is always high humidity. At the time, as in living rooms less humidity. For each condition, you need to choose your own paint.
Many experts say that it is best to paint walls with water-based paint in living areas. In this paint there are no toxic substances, the product is environmentally friendly, the paint has an unpleasant smell and it is fireproof.
Water-dispersion paint consists of various binding components on the basis of copolymers of styrene, dispersion of polyvinyl acetate, various pigments and polyacrylates. These components are insoluble in water and after the application of the paint and the evaporation of water, a film remains on the surface. After the paint dries, a moisture-resistant coating is formed on the wall. Therefore, this paint is excellent for painting the premises with high humidity.
Water-emulsion paint can be painted wooden, brick, gypsum plasterboard, concrete plastered surfaces. But it is not suitable for metal surfaces, since the composition contains water, which can lead to the appearance of rust.
The choice of paint is very important to guess with a liter. Well, if after staining there is a little paint, so that if necessary, you can use it. Find the right color in the future can be very difficult.
If you want to make the walls colored, then take the white paint and dye. In white paint, add the dye drop by drop until you get the desired color. Remember that the paint should be stirred well before applying it to the wall. Also, it is necessary to take into account the fact that the paint will have a slightly different color on the walls, rather than in capacity. Therefore, first make a control swipe on the wall to make sure that the color is exactly the one you wanted.
The water-emulsion paint should be painted in several layers. For the lower layer, the paint can be diluted with water by 10%. The following layers must be applied undiluted.
Roller for painting walls
It is convenient to paint large areas of a large area. The best are considered rollers, which are applied to the roller by the heating method. During cooling, it is firmly attached to the rabbit and leaves no stitching on the surface, which is very important when painting.
When choosing a roller, consider its chemical resistance, which depends on the material.
- The roller made of nylon or polyacryl is very durable and resistant to the effects of a corrosive environment. Such a roller is well suited for nitrocellulose, epoxy and polyurethane paints.
- Velor and roller of polyester is best used for oil paints and acrylics. Polyester is excellent for the paint. Velor is very durable and flexible, so it can be chosen for varnishing and finishing.
- Roller made of foam rubber is convenient to paint the walls in those cases when you use silica, acrylic, water-based and silicone paints.
For coloring you will need not only a roller, but also a special capacity for tinting.
The technique is as follows: apply three stripes of paint to an area of one square meter. Zatemih need to be rolled with a pressed roller, so that the paint is evenly distributed over the surface. Make sure that there are no excess paint left on the platen, as strong streaks can form.
