Individual entrepreneur details in the contract include mandatory and additional information....
- work must have good elasticity. The notorious change in the dimensions (expansion and narrowing) of the facade surfaces, which occurs as a result of a sharp temperature drop, turns out to be “fault” for everything.
- Paint for facades should have increased resistance to ultraviolet radiation, that is, the ability to long time keep its original color unchanged under the influence of direct sunlight.
- The paint must have increased resistance to abrasion. After all, the facade of the building, among other things, includes areas near doors, windows and the sidewalk, which are quite easily dirty and even wiped as a result of constant touching.
In addition to the qualities mentioned above, facade paint characteristic and one more property: haze. The fact is that on a glossy surface, all irregularities become more noticeable. At the same time, the matte surface is characterized by the ability to "hide" minor flaws: recesses, protrusions, chips.
Typology of facade paints
The modern market offers the consumer the following types of facade paints:
- silicate;
- lime;
- Cement;
- Acrylic;
- Silicone.
Let's consider each type in more detail.
Silicate facade paints
The basis of silicate paints for the facade is silicate glue (it is sometimes called " liquid glass"). The composition of paints also includes a special filler (usually also silicate) and various mineral pigments. This composition provides good resistance to ultraviolet radiation, wind and precipitation for a long time. Operational period such coverage is about 20 years. In addition to the advantages mentioned above, silicate paints have another important quality: good vapor permeability. Thanks to her, the painted walls practically do not get damp.
Among the disadvantages of silicate paints, we note poor abrasion resistance and low elasticity, sooner or later leading to cracks.
lime paints
As a basis for this type of paint is used slaked lime. Virtues These colors are few. The most important among them is relatively low price. Due to their good bactericidal properties, lime paints guarantee the absence of fungal deposits even on the dampest wall. However, due to good vapor permeability, walls covered with a layer of lime paint will not become damp.
disadvantages lime paints have much more: such paints quickly get dirty, easily become unusable under the influence of precipitation, and their color range, in fact, is limited only to white and light pastel colors.
cement paints
Cement paints are a somewhat modernized version of lime paints: not slaked lime is taken as the basis for their manufacture, but Portland cement with the addition of various pigments. This paint gives the facade a slightly greater resistance to damp climates and precipitation. But unlike lime paints, cement paints cannot boast of a bactericidal effect.
Today cement paints are used very rarely, despite their low cost.
Acrylic paints
Acrylic facade paints today can be called the most popular product in its segment. Acrylic resins are used as the basis for this type of facade paint.
The reason for their popularity is their relatively low cost and a large number of merits. The only characteristic in which acrylic paints are inferior to paints made on a silicate basis is low vapor permeability, which can lead to excessive moisture formation. However, this disadvantage is compensated due to the almost zero hygroscopicity and resistance to abrasion.
Most acrylic paints are water-based, but there is also a certain group of acrylic paints, which are based on various organic solvents. The latter are recommended for use as a coating for very worn facades, on which the plaster does not hold firmly.
silicone paints
Facade paints based on silicone can be safely called the best option among all those named. Silicone facade paints are characterized by the following virtues:
- The paint applied to the plastered facade of the building makes it completely hydrophobic. The walls literally repel moisture from themselves: both rain and fog simply flow down the walls, leaving no wet marks on the surface of the facade.
- The walls covered with silicone paint breathe. The fact is that the vapor permeability of the paint is ensured due to the abundance of the smallest pores in the paint layer.
- Excellent adhesion to all types of walls, including all types of plastered surfaces.
- Very serious resistance to ultraviolet radiation, any aggressive natural phenomena, sharp and frequent temperature changes.
- The facade, painted with silicone paint, is practically not electrified, and, therefore, does not attract dust.
Among shortcomings- high price and somewhat more modest indicators of wear resistance and elasticity than acrylic paints.
How to calculate paint consumption
Let us take the liberty of presenting a certain algorithm, with the help of which it is possible to make a more or less accurate calculation of the facade paint consumption per 1 square meter painted surface.
- Calculation of the total area of the facade to be painted. This is easy enough to do. The first step is to measure the length of the wall and its height. These indicators should be multiplied by each other - we get the total area of \u200b\u200bthe wall. The next step is to measure the total area of all windows and doors located on a given wall. The total area of all openings is subtracted from the total area of the wall. The calculation of the area of facades of complex geometric shapes is carried out as follows. The facade is "divided" into simple rectangles. We calculate the area of each of them. Then we add up the results.
- Multiplying the facade area by the average paint consumption per 1 sq. meter. You can find this indicator on the packaging with paint - any manufacturer must indicate it on their product. The indicator obtained as a result of the calculation is multiplied by the estimated number of layers of paint (by 2, 3, etc.).
|
When calculating the amount of paint should take into account 2 important nuances. The first of these concerns the thickness of the paint. Consider the following: the thinner the paint, the thinner the applied layers are, and, therefore, the paint is distributed more evenly and efficiently, allowing you to save money. The second nuance concerns the quality preparation of the wall before painting. Keep in mind that the approximate material consumption that can be found on the paint container is indicated with the expectation that the paint will be applied to a primed wall. If you plan to paint the walls directly on the plaster, the paint consumption will be significantly higher. |
Facade painting instructions
Is there a step-by-step instruction for painting the facade? Let's try to consistently answer this question.
Surface preparation before painting
In the event that the plastered facade has already been painted, the preparation of the walls before a new painting directly depends on the condition of the old paint and its type. For example, it is quite possible to use water-based acrylic paint on old paint of the same type. Moreover, if the color of the new paint is similar to the color of the old one, the wall does not even need to be primed. If the wall is covered with a layer of oil enamel, it is preferable to clean off all old paint before applying new
The condition of the plaster should be assessed. The surface can be considered ready for painting if the plaster:
- does not crumble;
- does not leave marks on the palm;
- does not get dirty when touched;
If the wall or part of it does not meet these requirements, putty must be resorted to.
The facade should be primed with a deep penetrating primer. This will give the surface greater strength and significantly improve the adhesive properties of the paint.
offers several of its varieties, widely used in their niches.Acrylic paint on plaster
The most popular, this is due to the ease of implementation construction works. The basis of the composition is acrylic resins. Diluted either with special solvents or plain water. They are neutral in smell (especially important for people with allergies), have durability, a huge range of colors. Resistant to damage and not prone to cracking, even on low-quality facade surfaces. acrylic paint you should not choose if the facade requires good vapor permeability (silicate mixture will be much more relevant).
Silicone paint on plaster
It is based on various silicone mixtures and pigment. It has excellent dirt-repellent properties, absolutely does not let water through, but at the same time good vapor permeability (that is, the wall continues to breathe). High resistance to atmospheric precipitation, decent grip on any surface, also given type paint does not attract dust. With its help, you can restore the original appearance of historical buildings, it is even called "A find for the restorer." Compared with acrylic paint on plaster has less elasticity and wear resistance.
silicate mixture
The composition is based on silicate glue, silicate fillers and pigments. The mixture has a high vapor permeability, recommended for coloring porous materials. It also proved to be excellent in resistance to atmospheric hardships and ultraviolet radiation. At the same time, it is prone to the rapid appearance of cracks on the surface due to its inelasticity. Not resistant to temperature fluctuations.
Lime mixtures
The base is slaked lime. Extremely easy to get dirty, and also washed off by ordinary rain. At the same time, 100% resistance to fungal infections and excellent vapor permeability. The color scheme is very stingy: white and shades close to cream.
Cement paint on plaster
It is based on Portland cement and pigments. As quickly as the previous one, it gets dirty, but is more resistant to moisture. This type of paint does not have bactericidal properties. Among the advantages can be noted relatively low price, it is used mainly in industrial construction.
As a rule, the widest choice of colors is presented in the catalogs of paint manufacturers. But even if desired color was not in the catalog, you can make it yourself (according to the manufacturer's instructions).
Paint coating can be divided into textured and smooth. With the help of the first one can make an additional protective layer, which will also serve as decorative element. It perfectly hides chips and cracks. It is also convenient for the implementation of various design solutions.
Before proceeding with the application of paint on plaster, it is necessary to prepare the surface to be painted. With a metal brush and a roller, you need to clean the wall of dust and other contaminants, then degrease the surface. To increase traction with the surface, you can walk on the wallprimerIt will also prolong the durability of the coating.
If on preparatory work no time or desire, some manufacturers offer special textured paints, before coating which there is no need to level the surface. If it is necessary to apply paint on the facade over the old one, you must first recognize the type of the previous composition. For example, it is recommended to apply acrylic over acrylic paint. In this case, if the colors are almost identical, you can do without an intermediate primer layer. And here oil coating must be removed with special tools and then surface prepared.
Any paint for decorating facades must be applied in several layers. At the same time, it is important to observe the uniformity and simultaneity of staining, that is, not to make long pauses between stains. Each next layer is applied only on the dried previous one, otherwise in the future the joints will be too noticeable.
Subject to the recommendations above, as well as the recommendations of the facade paint manufacturer, you can achieve an excellent quality result, and the coating will serve and please the eye for many years.
For comfort in the room, after plastering works it is not necessary to glue the wallpaper or putty the walls, it will be normal to just paint the entire area. Typically, such a repair, where the plaster is painted, is carried out in several cases:
- if the office is painting plastered partitions and walls, this room does not need wallpaper;
- if this is a large production area, then somehow wallpaper and putty in this room will be inappropriate.
We can draw the appropriate conclusions and confidently say that the painting of plastered surfaces will be relevant in the place where the room needs to be given an aesthetic appearance without any monetary costs and with a small amount of time.
A worthy replacement for wallpaper can be the painting of plastered walls. Coloring tool
At present, it is difficult to say which paint is best to use after plastering, as it may be that the paint for internal walls not suitable for your home. The main thing is to pay attention to the fact that the same paint can have qualitative differences. This is mainly manifested in the brightness and saturation of its shades, or in the consumption per 1 sq.m.
Usually the quality of such material depends on the manufacturer and pricing policy. But this does not mean that it is necessary to purchase the most expensive paint. To begin with, it is best to consult with sales consultants so that they can help you find the “golden mean”.
Acrylic paints
Acrylic-based paints are a good and quite popular material among the people. It is used for coloring living rooms and rooms with high humidity.
Such compositions have the following characteristics:
- They respond well to evaporation, which is why during operation they can be wiped with wet wipes without any problems, their aesthetic appearance will not be spoiled in any way;
- For tinting, manufacturers have released a large assortment various shades and flowers, thanks to this quality, the coloring composition can be found for any interior of the room;
- After applying the composition to the plaster, the walls of the house will have a matte surface;
- The material that is made acrylic base, affordable, in the trailer it is the very “golden mean”, between quality, modern technologies, production and price.
There are nuances to which you should pay attention. This type of paint is not recommended for those rooms in which there is a risk of liquid getting on the walls or ceiling. This can safely include bathrooms, rooms for washing cars. For contact with water, it is best to choose coatings developed on the basis of latex.
Acrylic paint is recommended for use in rooms with high humidity. Latex formulations
The main point of working with this type of dyes is to dry the material, which is gradually converted into a thin but durable film layer. Thanks to this property, it is possible to wet cleaning in the house, as well as from its outside, because all compositions made on this basis are not afraid of direct contact with liquid.
The composition of this paint has both a glossy and matte surface, which is well suited for painting plastered walls. If the wall has decorative plaster, then it is the latex composition that is most suitable for it, this is all because no other material can highlight the volume and texture of this type of putty pattern.
Water-based paint based on PVA
Water based paint, the basis of which is PVA, is quite convenient option, for painting walls in the style of "cheap and cheerful", and even with a good appearance. This water emulsion, although not rich in color choices, is simply created for a room in which there is no need for a special design and color saturation. The main thing to remember is that the material from the water-based emulsion cannot be used in rooms with high humidity, as well as in those places where it can be wiped with wet wipes.
Need to know! For color saturation, PVA-based water-based emulsion must be applied in several layers. For a stronger effect, it is advisable to prime the wall of the house before work. Such an event, first of all, will enhance the adhesion of the paint to the plastered surface, as well as reduce the consumption of the water-based composition.
Water-based waterproof paint based on PVA with the addition of acrylic Oil and alkyd paints
Such paints are characterized by color saturation and a durable layer after drying, but have some drawbacks. Namely:
- Strong toxic odor. It is difficult to work with such paint, and not everyone can. After it dries, there will be no smell, but even your neighbors will feel the evaporation of the paint during operation.
- A small selection of colors and shades.
- High consumption of paint and its high cost.
- If you work with a roller or brush, the painting speed will be slow.
In general, painting plastered walls with such materials is often used, especially in rooms with high humidity. The service life of such surfaces will be long and will not require intensive care.
Wall surface painting
AT this case in painting the walls with any material, whether it be a water-based emulsion or a latex composition, outside the house or inside, you should remember some nuances, then your plastered wall will turn out to be beautiful and of high quality. Work process:
- Before painting exterior or interior walls, prepare the surface. In this case, such training is one of the milestones before special events. Thanks to the latest technologies before painting, the surface can be cleaned with a special device, as well as putty or cement-sand mortar. If this is not done, then a “web” of cracks and chips will catch your eye.
- Using a brush or roller, all dust and debris is removed from the surface, then it is primed, as mentioned above, all activities are carried out specifically in order to reduce the cost of materials. For this coloring, you can use any primer based on acrylic.
- To choose a coloring method, you should focus on the paint used, or what features this structure has. If in the course of work it is applied alkyd composition, and this production room, then there is no way to do it with a spray gun. When all these activities are carried out in the living room, it is best to use a brush or roller for painting.
- Paint preparation. If we are talking about alkyd or oil paint, a solvent is used to achieve normal density, if the composition has a water-based material, then in this case you will have to resort to color saturation before you can achieve a good result with the paint.
- Painting outside or inside the house on the surface is carried out with a roller, all movements are performed "from top to bottom". In such work, internal or outer wall will look in one tone.
Need to know! Whatever you work with, with a roller or a spray gun, it is advisable to cover all surfaces with a film so as not to stain the furniture and all other things in the room.
Conclusion
In this article, the methods of painting the finished plastered plane and the process of performing this action, at home or on the street, on internal or external surfaces, were considered. Now everyone can buy a special coloring composition and perform all the necessary measures for painting the internal walls on plaster in their home.
Manufacturers building materials offer a wide range of paint and varnish products for plaster work. The quality and duration of operation of the painted surface depends on the competent choice of products.
About how to choose suitable paint on plaster and what characteristics of the material should be paid attention to, and will be discussed in this article.
Peculiarities
The process of painting plaster is quite simple, but includes several important points that significantly affect the final result.
You need to understand that you should start painting only after completing all other procedures with plaster, as well as after the surface has completely dried.
The coating must be puttied with one mixture before painting. Traces that differ in shade when using different putty may not be painted over even after multiple coats of paint. Also, spots can appear after uneven puttying.
To begin with, it is important to take care of the convenience of the upcoming procedure by preparing the tools without which no specialist starts work. For convenience, it is best to use long pile rollers, as well as a tray with special spikes.
Purpose
For finishing facades and painting walls inside the premises, paints of different composition are used, since the requirements for them are different.
Paint on plaster is divided into two types - for interior and exterior use. It is quite possible to apply each of them with your own hands, without resorting to the help of craftsmen, thereby significantly saving the budget.
For interior work
Paint on plaster for internal works is an important part of interior design. From right choice depends on the quality of the coating of ceilings and walls. Currently, there are a large number of compositions on the market, but it is not easy to navigate them. For materials used indoors, vapor permeability and granularity are important.
Data paint and varnish products are considered durable due to the resin contained in the composition. The film that forms after drying protects the pigment.
It is very convenient to apply special non-drip paint on the plastered surface. For example, for painting the ceiling, it will be an ideal material. A special jelly has been added to the paint, due to which the composition is thicker and evenly distributed over the surface.
When choosing a material for interior work, it is important to take into account some factors, such as humidity in the room, differences temperature conditions, exposure to ultraviolet rays. For example, for walls in a garage or cellar, it is best to choose silicate or water-based compositions.
for facade
Not every paint is suitable for outdoor work. It must meet the following requirements:
- High strength;
- wear resistance;
- impact resistance sun rays;
- Waterproof;
- moisture resistance;
- Frost resistance;
- fire resistance;
- Economic consumption of material.
The main purpose of the coating is to enhance the performance of the plaster.
High-quality paint has a thick consistency and gradually becomes liquid when shaken.. This is necessary for uniform application of the composition.
Before buying, you need to carefully study the information on the product packaging. Paints differ from each other in limiting indicators of temperature, humidity, degree of environmental friendliness and shelf life.
To date, the following facade paints for plaster for outdoor use are common:
- silicate;
- based on cement;
- Acrylic;
- Silicone;
- Lime.
By type of surface facade materials are glossy and matte. Glossy ones have a bright and saturated color, matte ones are distinguished by restraint, but perfectly hide the flaws of the plaster.
Varieties
As mentioned above, there are many types of paint on plaster. The compositions of the solutions cover the plastered surface with a protective layer, thereby giving strength to gypsum or cement plaster. Based on certain factors, paint is selected on one basis or another.
Water based paint
It is considered one of the most popular and has a number of important advantages:
- Affordable price;
- A variety of colors and shades makes it possible to choose perfect option for every interior. For example, you can purchase colorant and paint white color and make the composition of the desired shade with your own hands;
- Ease of painting. All painting work can be done independently.
But this material also has some disadvantages:
- Low moisture resistance. In conditions high humidity detachments form on the surface;
- The cover must not be cleaned or washed.
Acrylic washable paint
It contains an acrylic composite that provides resistance to adverse external factors. The coating is durable and resists deformation. The solution is water-based, so it is easy to clean from hands and tools. It can be used in rooms with high humidity.
The painted surface is perfectly washable with a damp sponge, thanks to which the color and purity will remain for many years.
silicate paint
This type of solution has a number of features:
- Rain resistance;
- Does not deteriorate under the influence of ultraviolet rays, so the facade remains bright for a long time;
- Vapor permeability.
silicone paint
This species is known for its highest strength and the best operational characteristics. The surface painted with silicone paint repels dust and moisture. The facade can be washed an unlimited number of times without worrying about the coating. The only drawback of such solutions is the high price.
Alkyd and oil paints
Dyes on this basis are distinguished by rich shades, a durable layer and durability, but with all the advantages, they also have their drawbacks. These include the high cost of the material, bad smell and high expense.
If there are metal parts on the walls, then for them you need to select special paints such as electrically conductive and flame retardant.
Base type
Paint manufacturers looking back at trends modern design, began to produce paint with various effects. Thus, it became possible to apply structural drawings on smooth walls and ceiling.
There is a unique type of finish - Venetian plaster. It is used exclusively indoors. It is made with imitation stone, for example, malachite or granite. There are two types of Venetian plaster - embossed and smooth.. Embossed contains small granules and therefore the surface becomes textured. Smooth allows you to achieve the original play of light. Thanks to this, it visually gives the impression that the wall is made of pure marble.
Venetian plaster can be dyed in any color. For best results, you can use a couple of shades at once. An indispensable condition for painting is a perfectly plastered surface.
On sale you can find plaster with a grain effect. It hides uneven surfaces. This type of plaster can also be colored. To obtain a beautiful effect, after applying one layer of paint to the surface, it is treated with a damp sponge.
Coloring textured plaster has some nuances. In the case when textured and smooth elements are combined on a plastered wall, they start working with textured. Smooth areas are painted over after the rest of the surface has dried.
If this fact is not taken into account, then when painting the entire coating, loose parts of the plaster will peel off and stick to smooth elements. When applying a second coat of paint, this rule is not necessary.
To add shine to the surface, beeswax can be applied to the painted plaster.
How to calculate the material?
One of the important points when choosing paint for plaster is the calculation of material consumption.
To calculate the consumption of facade paint per 1 sq. m, you need to perform simple mathematical calculations. Initially, you need to find out the area of \u200b\u200beach wall of the house and multiply by their number. Then subtract the total area of door and window openings from the resulting wall area. Final result multiply by the consumption indicated on the packaging with the material. In the case of applying several layers, the result is multiplied by their number.
How to apply correctly?
If the base after applying the plaster turned out to be fragile, then it is important to strengthen it with a colorless primer. After that, start the process of painting the walls. Cans of paint are well stirred, adding color if necessary. On an inconspicuous area, test staining is carried out to determine whether the resulting color suits.
At the stage of completion of the repair, when there are Finishing work, walls are often leveled with plaster mixtures. When the plane becomes even, it is additionally treated with other materials. good and quick option Finishing is considered to be painting plaster, which gives the room completeness and comfort.
If we compare the use of wallpaper and paint, then the first option will be the most suitable if you plan to make a luxurious interior, focusing on details. If the repair is carried out in the office, or the production room is ennobled, it would be more appropriate to choose wall plastering and painting. The same applies to cases where the owners of the apartment are limited in funds, and this species finishing will not only save time, but also finances.
To carry out painting, it is necessary to competently approach the choice of the composition for processing the walls. Today, the following paints are used for this:
- Acrylic. These compounds are popular with consumers, as they have a number of properties. Walls painted with acrylic paint tolerate moisture well, so masters recommend using them in bathrooms and corridors. rich color palette, as well as a pleasant value for money makes acrylic compounds market leader in finishing.
- Latex. It is desirable to process with these paints the plastered walls on which it was used decorative plaster. Once applied to the surface, the paint forms a thin protective layer that is resistant to water drops. Latex compositions are represented by two types of structures: glossy and matte.
- Water emulsion. The basis of these products, in addition to the color filler, contains water and PVA glue. Such material is unlikely to be suitable for painting wet rooms, but it will be appropriate if you want to create an unpretentious environment that does not require elaborate colors. Water-based paint is rightfully considered the most affordable.
- Oil. Possess rich colors but have a strong odor. In addition, if you apply the material with brushes and rollers, the speed of work slows down significantly.
When choosing a composition, pay attention to the label - it should indicate optimum temperature at which it is desirable to apply the finish, as well as the properties of the paint during use.
How to paint walls with cement plaster?
To level the walls, two types of plaster are used: gypsum and cement. The first involves the use of drywall sheets, the second - the dilution of a cement-sand mortar. In two cases, the method of work will differ, and the selected coloring composition will differ in its properties.
To begin with, we propose to consider the question: how to paint the plaster on cement base? Experienced craftsmen For repairs, water-based paint is most often used because of its ease of application.
Apply material as with hand tools- roller and brush, and using electric sprayers, in the case of a large amount of work.
Water-based paint contains organic additives that determine the color saturation. Although the gamma is not rich, the composition is appropriate for decorating a room that does not require pretentiousness.
During the work of painting walls on plaster, the material is applied evenly over the entire surface. Due to the fact that the composition of the water emulsion contains liquid, it partially penetrates the porous structure of the wall. Another part of the remaining liquid evaporates as the finish dries.
By painting the plastered walls with a water-based mixture, the wall receives breathable properties. For example, when using oil paint, this effect cannot be achieved. In this case, the wall will allow air to pass through, which positively affects the microclimate in the room.
Plaster wall painting
Before painting walls sheathed gypsum plaster, it must be puttied. The use of putty is considered a mandatory step in the finishing of drywall sheets. paintwork materials. If this step is not followed, there is a risk of lack of adhesion between paint and gypsum plaster.
To work with putty GKL, water-dispersed and acrylic compositions are used. The latter must be made on the basis of water.
The whole process of finishing walls with gypsum plaster looks like this:
- Cleaning the surface of sheets and trimming edge seams.
- Filling the joints with sickle. At this phase, a starting putty is used, which is intended for surface treatment in a draft version.
- Puttying the entire surface of the wall to hide the heads of the screws and possible cavities.
- The second layer, on which the finishing putty is already applied.
- Wall grouting with a float sandpaper.
- Primer plane, as well as the simultaneous removal of dust and dirt.
At the end of these activities, gypsum-type plaster is painted after puttying. For this, rollers and brushes are used; for convenience, a special container is used for rolling out the tool.
Use a thin brush to work drywall corners. It is inconvenient to paint walls with one roller because of its size. The most optimal will be a roller with an average pile length.
On the video: painting the walls after plastering.
Process technology
Before proceeding with the procedure, it is necessary to prepare the walls. It is best if the plaster is fresh and has been applied recently. In the case of an old coating, it must be restored:
- Plastered walls should be checked for defects: depressions, bumps and cracks.
- Detected flaws should be eliminated with putty.
- The dried leveling material must be cleaned with fine sandpaper, thus providing the surface with high adhesion.
Do not forget that if repairs are made from scratch, then from the moment of application cement plaster before the beginning painting work must be at least 60 days. This period is due to the fact that during the drying process, the walls that are plastered are prone to shrinkage. If you try to apply paint during this period, there will be a big risk of it falling off in the near future.
Prepare everything necessary tools, as well as the material with which the wall will be painted. Next, proceed to the preparation of the puttied surface:
- Clean the plane of possible dust and dirt using wide brush with hard bristles.
- Prime the surface with a deep penetration compound - the plaster has large pores that fill the primer perfectly.
- Wait until the wall is completely dry before painting the plaster.
Sometimes the owners wonder: is it possible not to prime the walls before painting. The answer will be unequivocal: a surface covered with soil always adheres better to finishing materials. Do not neglect this stage of preparation.
For industrial large-sized premises it is more expedient to use a spray gun, and for living rooms you can get by with a brush and a roller.
Painting walls after plastering is considered a simple procedure that can be carried out by a person who does not have skills in such work. The process consists of several stages:
- Dilution of paint. Open the jar with the composition and mix it a little with a brush. Use color to get the color you want. If an alkyd or Oil paint– add a little thinner to the mixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Before painting the surface, pour a little of the composition into a tool break-in container.
- It is desirable to carry out internal work with constant air circulation, thereby ensuring the safety of the master and contributing to fast drying paints.
- Take some paint material on the roller, run it up and down the wall. With such movements, continue to process the entire surface of the wall. Make sure that the roller does not leave streaks, this may be due to the abundance of paint on the sides of the tool.
Do not forget to cover all items during finishing to protect them from the coloring composition. Place painter's tape over the areas that don't need painting.
As you can see, the procedure for painting walls covered with plaster is quite simple. To do this, you just need to choose correct composition and a set of tools. The result will bring joy and help to improve the level of skills.
