The buildings 29.08.2019

The buildings

It would be naive to believe that the facade is painted only for aesthetic purposes.

The functionality of paints for facades is much wider than just a decorative coating. They protect the surface of the walls, prevent the appearance of mold and fungi.

The service life of the facade, as well as the costs of maintaining it unchanged, depend on the properties of the composition of the facade paint.

What is needed for

In addition to visible decorative qualities, facade paints have a number of protective properties:

good paint for facade works creates reliable barrier from the penetration of moisture from the outside into the walls of the building.

Atmospheric precipitation in the form of snow or rain tends to wash out, crumble small particles of wall material, a binder solution from stone and plastered surfaces, which leads to rapid aging and dilapidation.

Wooden structures from excess moisture begin to rot, warp, deform. But that's not the worst part either.

Freezing water that has entered the thickness of the wall can lead to the formation of deep cracks, chips and shedding of the facade finish.

The painted surface is protected from aggressive chemical attack.

Soil mineral salts, active reagents included in emissions industrial enterprises or automobile exhausts, falling on the walls, sharply reduce the strength properties of stone, masonry mortars.

Complex physical and chemical processes in the thickness of the wall can short time lead to the formation of efflorescence, and in the future - to a violation of the integrity of the structure, the appearance of karst exfoliation.

They have facade paints and antiseptic, antibacterial action, prevent the appearance and reproduction on the walls of mold, moss, fungi and other forms of biological life.

Fire retardants, which are part of the facade paint, cannot, of course, completely protect a wooden house from fire, but they significantly reduce the likelihood of wall fires from unforeseen external influences.

The combustion process is significantly slowed down, which gives time to organize fire extinguishing or evacuate people and property.

An important indicator of facade paint is its hydrophobicity.

Preventing the external ingress of water into the thickness of the walls, such a coating gives free access to the atmosphere for gases and water vapor, allows the scrap to "breathe", which has a positive effect on the durability of the structure and comfortable indoor conditions.

Most modern facade paints possess these necessary performance qualities.

Types of facade paints

The structural composition of all paints is approximately the same.

This is a base (solvent), a binder with the ability to film-form, pigment additives that determine the shade of the paint, as well as a whole range of fillers, plasticizers and additives that perform additional protective functions provided by the manufacturer.

Depending on the basis, paints are divided into two large groups, which have different technological and operational indicators.

Organic paints

The basis for paints of this type are organic solvents such as white spirit.

Although many believe that time similar materials already gone, they, nevertheless, are included in the range of products of the world's leading manufacturers, since in some cases their use is the only possible solution.

Facade paint on an organic solvent - frost-resistant - work on its application can be carried out even at low air temperatures.

In addition, the protective properties and resistance to precipitation begin to appear even on a coating that has not yet been stabilized, not dried. This makes it possible to carry out finishing work without waiting for the warm season.

When choosing such a paint, it is best to pay attention to the offers of leading manufacturers of such products:

Dulux is a well-known British company offering a range of white spirit based paints in both matt and glossy finishes.

The products meet all European quality and environmental requirements. Each customer can choose the colors of the Dulux facade paint on their own.

To do this, tinting machines are installed in company stores, which, on the basis of colorless paint, will create the required shade.

The average cost of Dulux organic facade paint is from 900 rubles per kilogram.

Duparol - facade paint by Caparol, is an excellent solution if you need to get rid of old stains of mold, dampness, soot.

Available in matte and glossy versions white color or as a basic colorless base with subsequent tinting. The price of such paint is about 500 rubles. per kilogram.

Water based paints

Water-soluble paints are subdivided depending on the binder filler - based on acrylic resins - acrylic latex, based on "liquid glass" - silicate, and based on silicone resins - silicone.

This type is probably the most popular due to its versatility and relatively low price.

They are suitable for any outer surface-, brick, wood, metal, have good adhesive ability with the old coating, that is, they are suitable for repainting.

Basic Requirements

Before choosing, you should find out what qualities paint for outdoor work on wood, brick or concrete should have. The fact is that these types of finishing materials are seriously different from any others. These basic requirements will help in such a matter as choosing a facade paint:

Materials for finishing facades must have high elasticity. This is very important, because due to sudden temperature changes, an inelastic coating can narrow or expand very quickly.
Plaster, putty and wood materials must have a very high resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Colors should not lose their brightness over time.
The coating must have high abrasion resistance. Materials for exterior walls made of brick, wood, for plastered surfaces should be as strong as possible so that at the moment of touching the coating does not crumble and does not stain clothes.
Products for plastered walls must withstand adverse weather conditions. The surface should not let water through, it should not lose its properties in frost, direct sunlight, and sudden temperature changes.
Facade coating of houses should be highly adhesive. The paint should adhere well to any substrate and provide the most durable protective coating.
Also, facade paints for outdoor work must withstand mechanical stress - strong blows, different kinds pressure and other external influences.
The material should be easy to apply to any outer wall, dry quickly and gain strength quickly. Products for wooden houses and for walls covered with a layer of plaster must also have a dirt-repellent effect. In addition, the coating must be easy to clean without loss of aesthetic characteristics.

Knowing these requirements for facade paint for outdoor use, as well as how to choose it, you can purchase a quality product.

Types of facade paints

All products for plastered surfaces consist of special binding components, as well as suspensions, various solvents, hardeners, fillers, which give the materials additional characteristics and qualities. Compositions are divided into two types:

Organic;
Water soluble.

Organic

The first group includes coatings, which are quite toxic, they consist of solvents. As such, manufacturers can use white spirit, solvent, and xylene. Along with these substances, thermoplastic acrylic resins may also be included in the composition. Resin is needed to create a protective film - it perfectly protects the outer layer decorative plaster from various destructions and other external factors. But for a reason high level toxicity, these paints are not very popular.

water soluble

This group includes more popular paintwork materials. Their range is wide. Such paints are divided according to the type of basic and additional components that are designed for special functions. Among them, Akrial paint and Tikkurila products for outdoor use are of high quality - this is the top of the finishing materials market.

Water-soluble coatings can be divided into the following types:

silicate;
calcareous;
based on cement;
acrylic;
silicone;
water-dispersed;
mineral;
latex;
dyes for wood.

The choice of facade paint depends on what requirements are imposed on the coating. It is important to pay attention to the composition and technical characteristics, as well as to the service life. All this affects the life of the house.

silicate

These facade paints for exterior painting are designed for application on concrete surfaces, plastered and brick walls. Silicate materials are very popular. If you need to paint the basement of the building, mark the paths, paint the walls, then this composition is a good choice.

The composition of these materials includes liquid glass. Modern finishing coatings contain potash glass, which gives maximum strength. Powders may also be present in these formulations to enhance performance. various metals and other substances - zinc, silicon, aluminum. Due to the presence of these substances, the product also has a high anti-corrosion effect. Additionally contains a mineral pigment that increases the resistance of the surface to alkalis.

Among the positive properties and characteristics that silicate paints possess, we can distinguish:

high durability, service life is up to 5 years;
water resistance;
high vapor permeability;
resistance to sudden temperature changes;
resistance to UV rays.

Silicate coloring compositions can be used for finishing brick facades, plasters, concrete walls, glass, stone and other mineral substrates.

Lime

Lime paint for facades is based on the most common slaked lime. This is enough budget choice for finishing finishing works over plastered surfaces. At the same time, despite the affordable cost, this material has a large number of disadvantages:

the coating gets dirty, stains clothes;
high abrasion rate, and is also washed off by snow and rain;
short service life of the coating;
a narrow range of colors - only white and pastel shades.

With all the shortcomings, this facade paint has positive characteristics. So, the product has high bactericidal properties, vapor permeability.

Cement

Cement paint for facade work is suitable for application on plastered facades. It is also suitable for walls made of wood or brick. Among the features are:

base of Portland cement;
principle of operation similar to lime coating;
resistance to moisture;
low bactericidal characteristics;
rarely used for application to facade parts.

Acrylic

These finishing materials are different good performance. They are used as facade decoration very often. Acrylic coatings are durable, wear-resistant, reliably withstand even severe mechanical stress. Among the varieties can be distinguished compositions based on organic solvents, as well as on water based.

The solvent-based composition is suitable for use even in winter, in cold weather. Due to the presence of resins, as well as other special fillers, this facade frost-resistant paint has a high resistance to various environmental influences. It can be used as facade all-weather paints.

Among the advantages of organic-based acrylic are:

ease of application on any type of coating;
the ability to work at low temperatures;
high vapor permeability;
strength;
service life - more than 10 years.

Facade water-based acrylic paint is made from acrylic polymers with additives. Additionally, the composition contains fillers - for example, marble. The coating will not only protect the facade, but will also be an excellent decoration for the outside of the building.

Among the quality materials, one can single out Akrial Lux - acrylic facade paint. Tikkurila facade paint is also of high quality. This is the best product among all modern manufacturers.

Latex

Latex facade paint is a worthy choice. Such coatings withstand abrasion, are vapor permeable, do not let moisture through. Latex materials perfectly withstand any atmospheric influences and ultraviolet radiation. Facade latex paint will serve for a long time without losing its color and gloss.

Latex compounds are suitable for application to concrete, plastered walls, foam concrete and drywall. Other surfaces can also be painted. Among prominent representatives Tikkurila facade paint can be distinguished.

Knowing what facade finishing materials are, it is easier to choose facade paint for outdoor work. The main thing in choosing is the manufacturer, brand, then features and characteristics. But even among the budget products there are quality options. Selected products should be given Special attention- before buying, you must study the description on the label so as not to be mistaken.

Overview of facade paints (2 videos)

In order to color new house or renovate the facade of an old one, it is not at all necessary to invite a team of professionals. It is enough to take a few correct steps and have the appropriate tool - and you can give beauty to the house yourself. Exterior paint is designed to help with this. How to choose and calculate required amount, we will consider in this article.

Types of facade paints

By composition, facade paints are divided into two types: water-soluble (latex, acrylic) and based on organic solvents (oil, alkyd). In latex most is water, and the liquid is oil paints consists of petroleum distillates and other organic solvents. There is also a range of mineral eco-friendly paints that are made from lime and cement.

According to the type of reflective surface formed, they are divided into matte, semi-gloss and shiny (glossy) paints. All in their composition contain a pigment additive, plasticizers and binder fillers. Depending on the filler, water-soluble paints are divided into latex (based on silicone (on silicone resins) and silicate (on "liquid glass").

Not only the walls of houses need care, but also other elements: fences, benches, fences. Facade paint is also suitable for their coloring. The price for it is slightly higher than for the material for internal works, since it contains large quantity resin (for moisture resistance and durability) and more pigment (for color).

Choice of facade coatings

One of the main differences between interior and exterior paints is that the latter must be applied to a specific type of surface.

The range of outdoor surfaces includes materials such as clapboard, wood, brick, plaster and of course old paint. On many homes you can find a combination of these surfaces. For each such material, a certain exterior paint is needed. How to choose it correctly? After all, the material for outdoor work must be resistant to atmospheric influences, have long-term light resistance and vapor permeability.

Old paint should be covered with the same type of coating to avoid problems. But if there is no exact certainty in the type of the old layer, then it is safer to paint with an alkyd-based pigment. Ideally, old or damaged paint should be removed, sanded, sanded and primed. Depending on the density of the paint, it is placed in one (thick) or two layers (more liquid).

Facade paint: technical specifications

A type	Specifications	Peculiarities
latex, acrylic	Easy to remove excess, durable, fast drying, can be applied even on wet surfaces, incompatible with previous oil-based finishes, elastic. Virtually no smell. Water-soluble, used for wood processing, brickwork, plaster and properly primed metal surfaces.	They are not diluted, with careful work you can get a uniform thin layer. Do not crack over time. These are breathable paints that are resistant to fading in the sun.
Oily, alkyd	They dry very slowly (from 12 to 48 hours), smell strongly, are difficult to clean, but are durable and have good adhesion, especially on whitewashed surfaces. They are painted in one layer, cleaned with a solvent. Based on synthetic resin, they adhere well to old multi-layer alkyd coatings and chalk, and have excellent hiding power. You can not paint and fresh masonry.	The thick consistency makes it more difficult to apply, but this paint adheres better than latex paint. The coating must be protected from rain until completely dry. In direct sunlight, the paint fades, over time it may crack due to oxidation.

Get any shade? Easy!

Big variety colors, bright colors and muted shades, shine and dullness - the fulfillment of any desires. All this is facade paint for outdoor use. Sales consultants will always advise how to choose a color for finishing, this is done using a special palette. Such a color range is provided for each specific type of paint. In the departments selling paint and varnish coatings, there are special tinting machines that, by mixing various pigments, will help to obtain the desired shade.

How much paint do you need

The consumption of facade paint is directly affected by the size of the surface to be painted, its condition, type of coating, age. For example, siding, shingles, masonry, or plastered walls may require 10 to 50 percent more paint than smooth, flat walls. Also, consumption twice as high can happen with applications that cover the surface in the equivalent of two coats of paint. Concrete paint requires high consumption due to the structure of the surface to be painted.

Calculation of the required volume

To calculate the consumption of facade paint per house, it is necessary to calculate the area of the surface to be painted by multiplying the perimeter of the building by the distance from the foundation to the eaves. Then, for each gable, measure the distance from the eaves to the peak, multiply by the width from the middle to the wall. Multiply the resulting number by two, and divide the result by half. For greater clarity, the scheme is shown in the figure. From the resulting figure, it is necessary to subtract the area of door and window openings.

If the house has a siding edging, then another 10 percent must be added to the result. In the case of painting a textured surface, another 20 percent is added to the expense. Well, if the wall is porous (brick or plaster), then it can absorb 50 percent more paint. Paint on concrete will "take" a little less.

After calculating the required amount of material, you need to add another jar for insurance, especially when buying in advance, since then the desired shade may not be found. The remaining paint can be used for other work.

Gloss level selection

The moment has come when the calculation is made and the facade paint for outdoor work is selected. How to choose what suits: matte, shiny or semi-gloss?

Matte paint is widely used to cover the walls of houses. This is a porous layer that does not hide irregularities well, so the surface must be well prepared for painting.

The choice of the ideal gloss level is dictated by both aesthetic and practical considerations. From an aesthetic point of view, a glossy, or shiny, surface is of increased visual interest, although it is more suitable for interior spaces. On the practical side, such a coating, due to its reflective ability, can hide minor surface imperfections, so it can be used for finishing facades, painting doors and windows. In care, the glossy layer is much simpler than the matte one, since it does not have a porous layer.

The third variety includes coatings that combine the properties of the other two - these are semi-gloss facade paints. Customer reviews indicate that these materials are in great demand because of their versatility.

Preparing for painting

Before painting it is necessary to remove all external elements: flower pots, drawers, furniture, lamps. What cannot be removed must be covered. Next, the surface is prepared: cracks are sealed, sanded and cleaned of old layers, primed. After the primer dries, it is necessary to mix the paint thoroughly and you can start painting. For this operation, rollers are used (for large areas) and brushes (for corners, finishes, relief, and more).
