The walls in the apartment are a wide field for activity: they can be painted, covered with wallpaper by various textures and color, you can lay out with tiles, can be covered with a traffic jam, etc. D. In this case, we will talk about the coloring of the walls.
First of all, the wall must be prepared. To do this, it is cleaned of the previous coating, from dust and dirt. After that, when we are already a clean surface, it must be moistened with water to prepare for plastering. If the wall itself is smooth, then it is best to create roughness on it for better adhesion of the solution.
The process itself occurs in several stages: spray, primer and cover. Each of the layers is applied according to the dried previous layer.
Spray should be similar in consistency to sour cream and applied about 5 mm thick
The soil is applied with a layer of up to 10 mm on concrete or brick surfaces. If the partitions or buildings from gypsum plates are primed, then pre -stroke or metal mesh is placed on them. The solution itself must be tested.
After that, a cover is applied, the solution of which contains fine sand. Then the completely non -dried wall is aligned. The total thickness of the plaster should be no more than 20 mm.
After that, potholes are sealed in the walls, and cracks are anointed. For better adhesion, a primer is applied, then putty. The surface is covered with water paints in one layer, enamel or oil – in two.
With rubber spatulas, adhesive putty is applied according to plaster, and metal spatulas are used for varnish and oil putty. Liquid solution can be applied with a brush, then smoothing unevenness.
Terry brushes are used for lime coloring. After elimination of irregularities and primers, a column color is applied. It is applied in one direction, and then shaken in the other direction, perpendicular to the direction of movement for the first time. Then the paint is stewed in the direction of the perpendicular floor.
Oil paints are well applied to the tree and on the surface, pre -coated with oil, water -based paint and alkyds. After covering it, the walls can be washed, but a great drawback is the strong smell of the paint itself.
For painting, the kitchen use water -based and latex paints with volatile organic solvents. Glossy paint containing more resins, although more practical, but no longer fashionable.
Emulsion paint practically does not smell, and dries a little more than an hour. After its use, it is easy to wash the tools and hands. It has practically no harmful fumes and is suitable for most surfaces, with the exception of glossy, from which it exfoliates.
The most popular of colors is alkyd paint. It is stable, dries in 6 hours and practically does not smell. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for surfaces made of stone and for the plastered walls that become villous.
There are many special paints on the market that are used for specific painting work. These are textured emulsion paint, metal paints, glyftal paints, acrylic paints, enamels, insecticidal paints, bactericidal paints and fungicidal colors.
