About wallpapers

Another type of vinyl wallpaper - foam. The surface of such material is soft, slightly rough, often with sequins. In the foam vinyl is one significant minus - it is very fragile and susceptible to abrasion. But this is offset by the fact that the material is very well hide all the shortcomings of uneven walls and specifically to align the surface to be glued on this type of wallpaper is not necessary. The basis of foamed wallpaper is usually treated with various antifungal compounds. This material can be cleaned with a damp sponge or cloth.

Analog foamed vinyl wallpaper are acrylic. They are obtained by applying the emulsion on a paper basis, which then foams under high temperature. It should be borne in mind that these wallpapers less wear-and water-resistant than vinyl. Adhesively bonded to the same them on the same technology.

In addition to screen printing and foamed vinyl produces heavy and solid wallpaper. The first variety is very resistant to moisture. Produce even a special wallpaper for bathrooms and kitchens. Layer of vinyl in this material is thicker, wider rolls of standard - 70 cm

Solid vinyl wallpaper have high strength and resistance to abrasion, they do not fade in the sun. The texture of this material may be very diverse: from imitation paper wallpaper to tiles and natural stone. Pasting these wallpapers can only be completely flat surface. Figure does not require special fitting: repetitions occur through 64-100 see the glue is applied and on the wallpaper and the wall (the layer must be thick enough). Presses the material to the walls of a special rubber roller.

Must take responsibility for the choice of glue for wallpaper. It is best to use the structure that is right for this type of coverage: for the non-woven and paper materials the same composition is not suitable.

Typically, the adhesive sold in packages in a dry form. To bring it into working condition, it must be dissolved in water. To do this, pour a bucket of water required by the mixer (you can use any clean stick or scrap boards) create a small whirlpool, into which pour a thin stream of glue. The composition must be left until the swelling.

After maturation of glue it is thoroughly mixed, breaking up lumps. As a result, you must obtain a homogeneous mass. If it still remained small chunks, then you can remove them, strain through a sieve or glue the folded in two layers of gauze. On the quality of the glue depends on how well the wallpaper will stick.

Another option of finishing materials, suitable for the walls of kitchens, bathrooms and hallways - is self-adhesive wallpaper. With their help, you can not only decorate the walls, but also door and window jambs and furniture. This type of coverage allows you to arrange a room in a unified style without too much trouble. The length of a standard roll of this material is 14 m and width 40 cm (sometimes 90 cm). Surface on which are pasted wallpaper should be lined with cardboard or hardboard. Tag on self-adhesive wallpaper, just like paper - overlap.

Currently you can purchase a special wallpaper for painting. Drawing on this material is a deep relief. Wallpaper for painting is made of fiberglass, interlining and paper. Usually the material is white in color. When painting using water-emulsion paint.

Paper wallpaper for painting are water-repellent coating that allows them color up to seven times. Glue them back to back, the walls before work can not equalize. On the surface of wallpaper pattern is then applied with mastic or embossing technique.

Non-woven wallpaper have a fine structure, good camouflage flaws walls and have a high degree of sound insulation. When they adhered using ordinary wallpaper paste, but it does not inflict on the flag, but directly on the wall. Smooth the wallpaper using a rubber roller. Stain this material can be up to five times. The only drawback of such a cover - fragile: as a result of contact with the furniture, the top layer of wallpaper to cleave. But despite that, with proper operation of non-woven wallpaper will serve you long enough.

Steklooboi have a structured surface: here used drawing as a fir, cobwebs, burlap, netting and various geometric figures. Glass fiber is not broken, do not provide a good environment for the habitat of various microorganisms and well camouflage flaws surface. In addition, the glass does not accumulate static electricity and attract dust, and also a cover is easy to clean and has good moisture resistance (that is suitable for decorating bathrooms). Immediately prior to papering the walls covered with a latex primer, and after it dries stick wallpaper on a special adhesive. Promazyvayut them only the wall and wallpaper roll rubber roller. Wall tiles coated with a layer of glue to improve the adhesion of paint to the surface. For finishing used latex and acrylic paints. Cause their fur platen. Keep in mind: the denser the wallpaper, the more paint is needed on their coloration.

Fining wall wallpaper. Types of Wallpaper

The latter type of wallpaper is rarely used for the walls in a residential area. As a rule, they are used where necessary to achieve special sound characteristics. Tufted wallpaper paste over the wall in theaters, hospitals, recording studios. But if there is a desire to protect his apartment from the outside noise and excessive noise, then you can apply and that the finishing material for pasting premises.

The most common conventional paper wallpaper. At sufficiently high quality of this material is relatively inexpensive. There are two types of paper wallpaper.

Primer is made of paper-based, covering the special paint-primer. At this layer are applied in different images (can be used up to 12 colors). Priming method makes washable, relief, background, embossed and printed wallpaper.

Washable wallpaper can be as dull and lacquered. Due to the vinyl cover, they do not fade from washing. Embossed wallpaper is produced by applying different ornaments with a thick pasty mass. In this case, possible combination with a simple printed design. Background in this case is both monochrome and polychrome. The most durable are embossed wallpaper. In their manufacture on a paper basis, first applied to embossed, and then brighten it with oil paints. Typically, these wallpapers are doing two colors. Printing the same coverage is obtained by application to paper basis of the pattern, running water distempers.

We note, incidentally, that our industry produces and the most simple and cheap wallpaper - negruntovannye. They are made of colored or white paper, dealing on the basis of two-color image (usually small). Of these, the most durable - Lepkova dvuhprotsessnye. Figure and background color applied to the wallpaper in two stages. They are less prone to contamination and abrasion.

In addition to paper wallpaper for decorating the walls and used vinyl. Vinyl - thick and elastic material, it is widely used by modern designers. Vinyl wallpaper composed of two layers: a polyvinyl and paper on which it is applied. The basis remains the same for all types of vinyl wallpaper, but here's the top layer can be different: foam, embossed, smooth (silk screen).

Do vinyl wallpaper, there are two indisputable advantages: moisture (they can be washed) and resistance to sunlight (not fade in the sun). But there are two major disadvantages: some of this material is environmentally unsafe, in addition, vinyl can not tolerate sudden changes in humidity and temperature (ie do not use this wallpaper for decorating the walls of bathrooms and kitchens). Vinyl Flooring bad passes air, but progressive manufacturers are beginning to produce perforated wallpaper that still allow the walls to "breathe." The undoubted advantages of this material can be attributed much longer service life compared with paper covering.

Prior to papering the walls with vinyl wallpaper surface should be prepared very carefully: all irregularities zashpaklevyvayut, and a wall covered with a layer of water-emulsion paint. Vinyl wallpaper can only stick to a completely smooth surface.

Vinyl wallpaper paste butt. In the case of uneven fixing them can be completely detached from the wall (which can not be done, for example, with paper) and re-glued. Adhesive used in this case should either be specifically designed for vinyl wallpaper, or universal for heavy wallcoverings. It is advisable to purchase stock, which has antiseptic properties. Glue is applied to raskroennye sheets and within minutes give it to penetrate. Then gently, without stretching sheets, wallpaper paste on the wall. Pressed the cloth to the wall using a rubber roller. After drying out wallpapers decrease in volume, so they must be carefully glued to on the dried surface was not formed gaps between individual sheets.

The most widely used "silk" vinyl wallpaper. The surface of the material obtained by the brilliant, with a beautiful pattern (there are a number of industrial collections with holographic ornaments). Wallpaper is very resilient. Wash them with the means to an alkaline and an alcohol-based. Picture wallpaper can mimic the skin, wool, textiles. Adhesively bonded silkscreened on a special adhesive that is applied not only to the wallpaper, but also on the wall. Smooth cloth with a soft dry brush.

Something about walls

In the corners of the walls nail shaped rods, whose length is equal to the height of the walls. Reiki is a segment in the fourth round and are designed to provide the desired tension fabric. Upper and lower plates, as well as angular slats after the completion of scraps of fabric, cover or decorative baguettes. Attach these items by using a special adhesive.

In that case, when the stud wall outlet is located, we can proceed in two ways. If the outlet or switch is walled in a wall, then during the nesting panels cut to the right place at the hole, just the appropriate size socket. In this case, the measurement should be carried out very carefully, because unlike Wallpaper remaining free space around the unit will be virtually impossible to disguise. If the switch (or outlet) removable, it must be unscrewed and removed from the wall. You can do this only after you disconnect the house, turning off the tube. After this, apply a cloth on the wall and mark with chalk outlines of future openings. Then it must be neatly cut. Outlet or switch attach only after we've finished work on the upholstery of the room.

In order to improve sound and heat insulation, a fabric can nail down the lining of felt. Mounted it in the same way as any other matter. The distance from the ceiling, floor, doors, windows, outlets and switches to the edge of the felt pads should be 1-2 cm

There is a more complex technique of upholstery fabric rooms. If the previous version was performed by mounting bracket, then this method of material stuffed in the bracket. This will ensure proper ventilation of the space between the fabric and the wall and will prevent the matter from excessive moisture.

To strengthen the fabric in this way, pick up the first bracket. Their width should be equal to 5 - 7 cm, thickness - 1 cm slats fastened to the wall with nails or screws. Previously in concrete or brick wall, drill holes for screws. Straps fastened horizontally (from the floor, ceiling, door lintel and window frames) and vertically (in the corners and at intervals of 50 - 60 cm across the surface of the wall). Between the upper ceiling and the ceiling and between the bottom rail and the floor, leave a distance of 2 - 3 mm, so that you can bend the fabric and hide it bleeds.

Trim start at any corner of the room from the ceiling. Strengthen the fabric can tack or staple furniture. Stitched and well-ironed piece of cloth stuffed roughly to the upper plate. It is necessary to leave 2 - 3 cm of loose, then to bend under the bar. Stretch fabric quite strongly, but make sure that there was no danger of rupture. Then check the vertical arrangement of matter with a plumb. Once again, check how well is the fabric, and nail it on top and bottom. Drop 2 - 3 cm for the entry under the bottom rail. If suddenly formed a fold gently disengage the fabric and pull it aside. Wrinkles will disappear. Do not make too big or too small distance between the fasteners. The optimal interval - 5-10 cm After all the walls are upholstered with a screwdriver tuck strips of material left at the top and bottom plates.

If upholster the same cloth that was used to decorate the walls, and even furniture (chairs, stools, sofas, ottomans), the room will get extra volume. A combination of fabric and stucco will make a luxurious interior room, will give him the look of the apartments of the royal palace.

Another method of upholstery - Carriages screed. This method gets its name from the fact that before the so-decorated carriages of dignitaries. Material used in this case - leather or thick fabric. Not recommended Karetnaya screed for such delicate fabrics like silk or taffeta. The principle is this trim. Pasted on a wall layer of soft sound and heat insulating material (can also be used latex or polyurethane foam). Then a piece of paper you need to sketch and calculate the right amount of material. The length of the panels should be such that the fabric a little thing under the plinth and the upper cut into 2 - 3 cm was below the closing walls and ceiling. Karetnaya coupler can form images on walls in the form of diamonds or squares. It depends on the direction of fastening strips: diagonally or horizontally and vertically. Fastening strips can be made from the same material as for the main background, or use contrasting color or texture. After the calculated number of fixing strip (it depends on wall height, frequency and direction of attachment), begin marking material. On the surface of the tissue or skin is applied to the risks of driving a nail places alleged. Keep in mind that it is necessary to calculate very precisely: to remove from the fabric surface piercings you do not succeed. Once all the marking of work will be done, you can start lining of the walls. This is best done alone. To facilitate the work of the upper edge of the cloth can be glued to the wall. Then the fabric impose fixing the line and the marked locations pierce nails. To upholstery looked spectacular, use nails with decorative heads. As a result, you should get a wall with several prominent diamonds or squares. The degree of relief depends on the amount of soundproofing material, pasted on the wall.

That the room was a stylistic perfection, stud with the same material and upholstered furniture. It is best to use this method Karetnaya ties.

Another way of fixing tissues - on the profile of the flexible PVC. This method is the fact that the plastic frame allows you to mount the frame of any shape. Behind him you can hide a variety of pipes, radiators, corners. Profile is able to keep any fabric (silk, velvet, cotton, jacquard, polyester), and even the skin. The cost of such a framework is quite high, but it's worth it.

If you decide to mount the fabric on PVC profile, as would be the best drapery fabric of polyester. Linen material produced in widths from 3 to 5 meters in height blade to be slightly greater than the height of the walls. Polyester fabric high-pressure impregnated with polyurethane, which gives the material extra strength and density. The texture of the polyester fiber is similar to the texture of the canvas. On such a surface can be painted with acrylic paints. Cloth inserted in PVC frame, no slack. The fabric does not fade in the sun, will not crack (unlike many other synthetic fabrics). In addition, the coating does not attracts dust, but it can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner. Polyester fabric has good sound insulation, which allows lower level of noise pollution in the apartment. In the material two drawbacks: high cost and complexity of assembly design (own tissue to fill in the box you will not be very easy). Frame mount virtually irreplaceable, if you want to drape a niche opening or protrusion.

The simplest way of fixing the matter on the wall - Velcro. To this end, the wall stick a piece of tape (usually with "loops") and the second sewn onto the fabric (with "hooks"). The fabric can be easily removed from the walls and just as easy to attach it back.

Mounted on clips easier than on a skeleton or interior. This method is similar to that used during installation of suspended ceilings. Along the perimeter of the room is attached a plastic profile. The ends of the blade snapped in the corners. After you have performed validation of his position and stabilize the rest of the tissue. Matter slip a spatula under the profile and reinforce it.

Coloring and texture of the matter should be chosen depending on destination and size of the room, style, interior, furniture and color scheme throughout the apartment. Figure tissue should be selected taking into account the fact that part-time room will be covered by an artificial light source (it changes the perception of color and light falling from above, can create the illusion of changing the aspect ratio), the figure will be visible over a large area, it should be combined with furniture and paintings or pictures hanging on the walls.

When choosing fabric, attach it to a piece of the wall, and went a little farther back, to see how it will look. To trim a large living room, you can use thin, delicate fabrics: taffeta or silk. If the room has a small area, its walls can be decorated with wool or satin in small patterns. This same fabric is upholster or furniture. Then the room will find a stylistic perfection and it will seem more comfortable. The walls are covered with gray and pearl matter, give a beautiful combination of dark cherry, dark blue or olive upholstered furniture.

The fabric is well hides cracks in the walls. There is no need plastering the surface and create cavities for electrical wiring - all this will mask the matter. If the neighbors above you are flooded, then any problems with the repair does not occur: a section stained cover carefully removed from the wall, washed, dried, and nailed into place. Do not forget to iron the cloth upholstery. In addition, the material much more durable wallpaper: tear it harder, and less spoiled. And if a family has a cat, you can choose wall coverings firmer fabric that will not break under its claws (wallpaper, which can not hurt the cat simply does not exist). Special fabric care is not required, but it is annoying, as claimed by psychologists, are much less likely than any other cover. Reduce spending on the cladding can be saved on the plastering.

The obvious advantage of tissue coverage is the fact that his colors more varied than the wallpaper, but the texture can be matched with your interior. The disadvantage of covering that material quickly absorbs odors, so you should not use it in kitchens and smoking areas.

During the cladding closely monitor the temperature regime (at least 15 ° C) and humidity (no more than 80%). In addition, the room should not be a draft. Clay, use only the one indicated in the instructions. Otherwise, the fabric may appear spots, stains, and self-fixing will not endure. If the wall is concave in places and this deficiency is not corrected, then choose the fabric without stripes that accentuate surface roughness. Plastic fastening elements used for fixing the fabric at the windows and doors, after work you can paste over the same cloth. This will make the corner less noticeable. It must be remembered that when worn on the wall of various lamps and paintings holes left due to incorrect marking the wall under the dowels, disguise is virtually impossible. Therefore vymeryayte their location as thoroughly as possible. Before drilling the walls of an incision in the fabric criss-cross in the center of the alleged holes, and during the operation, use dust extraction. This will prevent the ingress of dust into the space between the coating and the wall. Sockets and switches are best placed flush.

If you want to decorate fabric with embroidery, it is possible to order the work of professionals. Figure can be anything. It all depends on your desires and financial capabilities. A decorative draped panel on the wall can be identified with stucco, which protrudes from beneath the fabric. This piece will resemble the interiors of palaces.

Part 3

Adhered tissue adhesive promazyvayut not matter, and the wall. On its surface and put a layer of special composition, then the canvas tightly pressed against the wall and smooth hands. Adhered tissue composition applied to strips of width 15 - 20 cm Clay promazyvayut walls around the perimeter of the room, around door and window openings and outlets. Then the fabric is pressed to these sites. In order that the matter taut, it is desirable to make the wall slightly concave. The fabric is not settled after drying, it is fixed through the plinth and eaves with wooden planks. Nails pierce it with an interval of 7 - 10 cm to the shrinkage was minimal, the fabric before stretching wet with water, dried and how to iron. During the gluing each section of the cloth should be as smooth. The result should ideally flat surface.

Fabric can not stick, but just to nail to the wall. In this case, the matter is attached at the corners with Tolev nails, and in the middle of the walls - nails with decorative heads. The lower edge of the fabric is fixed with plinth and the upper - a wooden plank, which after the completion of camouflage decorative cornice. This mounting method is suited for any matter, but it is almost impossible to spoil.

Wall coverings begin with preparatory work. First measure the width of the tissue between the edges, then - the height of the walls from the floor or skirting a line from the ceiling and window sills, on the ceiling to the door lintel.

Amount of tissue, which will require you to trim the room, can be calculated as follows. The height of the flag is equal to the height of the walls, plus 6 cm (for the entry under the top and bottom plates), width - the width of the cloth or minus 3 cm (at the side seams). Consider an example of how such a calculation is carried out. Take the most occurring Ceiling height: 2,2, 2,5 and 2,7 m. The length of the wall - 4 pm Typically, the fabric is produced in rolls of a width of 1,5 m, the effective value was 1.47 m. For the first case the height of the flag should up 2,26 m for the second - 2,56 m for the third - 2,76 m. Thus, to upholster a wall, it will take 6.8, 7,7 and 8,3 meters of fabric. At the same time remain a small snippet that can be used to trim the space above the door on another wall. If you are planning a stud wall is not uniform, and diaper, the experts recommend to buy it for 10 - 15% more to maintain uniformity of the image. If the pattern is large, then the expense for his fitting make a greater margin: 20 - 25%. Calculating on this scheme, the required amount of tissue, you can go to the store.

Linking to cut the cloth as follows. Cuts of matter baste or fastened together with sewing pins, and then stitch on the sewing machine. Necessary to ensure that the seams gets exactly, not taxes. Edge of the fabric should be negligible. After all the flag sewn, progladte their iron. Choose that temperature which is suitable for the selected type of matter (usually on the iron has a special mark on the fabric may also be appropriate tab). Particularly careful to iron the seams. After such preparation attach the flag sewn to the wall and check that met all sizes.

After trying them, you are ready to upholstery. First, the material is fixed upholstery nails on the upper segment. The degree of tissue tension adjust snapshot. Then use a plumb-line to check how well situated cloth, observing the vertical. For this tool is applied to the seam between the sheets. Next, look at how well the fabric taut, and fasten it with nails along the bottom and sides of the segments.

Cloth wall coverings

Natural textile does not prevent the circulation of air and moisture, making the room walls "breathe". This is the most eco-friendly coverage of all possible. Touching the pile fabric is nice. It creates a sense of comfort and warmth. Upholstered walls help to relax. Soundproofing eliminates superfluous sounds. Appearance of tissue is much more decorative than all kinds of wallpaper and textured plaster. The result is that your apartment will become noticeably more comfortable and beautiful. You can buy a cloth soaked in preservatives. Then it will not start mold or any insects.

Damask fabrics give the interior a luxury. Decorated with velvet walls make the room more comfortable, and tulle will help create an environment full of glamor. If you want to give the room a romantic look, drape the ceiling in a tent or a sail. But apart from its decorative function drapery fabric performs and utilitarian: a matter, you can easily hide a variety of communications. With the help of tissue can be emphasized the most important part of your room or carry out its zoning. Modern styles require creative draperies, classical is focused on a long tradition of using fabric to decorate the home.

Fabric for the walls began to use even in ancient times. In Babylon and Assyria, used carpets, in ancient Rome - silk, in medieval Europe - tapestries. In wealthy homes XVIII-XIX centuries for this purpose to use expensive materials: silk, velvet, brocade. In poorer homes mostly knocked chintz wall. With the invention Wallpaper tissue receded into the background, but none of the material does not give the walls more beautiful than the fabric.

Currently, there are a number of synthetic coatings on textile base. They are made of paper or non-woven base and top cover dirt-and water-repellent compounds. Fabric - an environmentally friendly material, which allows walls to "breathe". In addition, the matter was treated with antistatic, so it does not attract dust.

Most often used for wall coverings jacquard fabric. Drawing on a pile fabric is created by differences in the length of the villi. Such coverage is pleasant to the touch, has good heat and sound insulation. Jacquard produced in rolls of a width of 2,8, 2,9 and 3,1 m and a length of up to 50 m. A feature of decoration is that the fabric does not pull on the cut, thus obtaining a monolithic coating with a single suture. Once the fabric is installed, cut holes for doors and windows. Jacquard cover is available without sinteponovoy or foam pads, which quickly starts to crumble and flake off from the kind of matter. Single-seam construction eliminates the differences in color between the individual sections of the wall (as is often the case with the wallpaper from different series). In addition, a fabric cover with proper anchorage never exfoliate, retaining its original form for all the years of service. The staining substance use special pigments that do not fade in the sun. A special coating protects the impregnation of swelling under high humidity. After graduating from upholstery work seam glued a strip of cloth. Stick fabric can only be on a special adhesive that is sold together with the coating. But do not try to stick the single seam cover yourself wisely to resort to professional help.

It should be remembered that when fixing the fabric single-joint manner to ensure that the angle from which you begin to drapery, was strictly equal to 90 °. Otherwise, roll the ends do not come together in the same plane.

But more often than fabric cover is double-layered: the back of the matter is the substrate of the foam. Its thickness is small, only - 2,5 - 3,5 mm. But thanks to this layer coating receives a high degree of heat and sound insulation. If the coating makes for a porous framework, it is between the fabric and base paving layer of synthetic film which protects the matter from the adhesive, which can act as a substrate, and the foundation - from moisture. Attach a separate cloth or cloths, or a seamless way, it all depends on how you prefer to work. The length of a roll can be up to 100 m, but for the upholstery of ordinary room enough 25 - 30-meter roll.

Fabric wall coverings can be either homogeneous (natural, artificial), and mixed (in natural fabrics added artificial fibers). From natural fibers often use silk, sisal, cotton, linen and jute. The peculiarity of this material - the presence of nodules. This is a consequence of the fact that natural fibers are rather short (typically 5-10 cm high, the same synthetic fibers may reach 8-10 km), with their connections and is thickened. Nodules - one of the signs of natural fabrics. Choosing a natural fabric, it must be remembered that it is stretched far worse than synthetic, and get a perfectly smooth surface with such a coating is impossible.

Artificial (viscose and acetate) and synthetic (polyacryl, polyester, polyamide) bad leak air. Therefore, these fibers corrugate and then twisted into yarn.

Many manufacturers of synthetic and blended fibers to simulate natural linen threads cut shorter. Thus, the nodules appear on the fabric, as well as on natural matters. The cost of natural fabrics is much higher, so their choice is small. Pure synthetic fabrics too, used infrequently. In the overwhelming majority of fabric wall coverings produced mixed and processed by special trains.

On the surface of the tissue covering typically applied to a special layer that protects against contamination. These materials do not attract dust and do not fade in the sun. In addition, many fabrics coated formulations, repels moisture. On this matter, the water simply rolls down, leaving no traces and no soaking. To remove dust, the walls cleaner (at least once a year), and every two years, a fabric cover of pure organic solvent. If the tissue is still formed smudge, remove it with a mixture of gasoline and chalk. For this mixture is applied on the spot, and then through 30 - 40 minutes, remove and wipe dry with a cloth (soft cloth or brush). If the matter can be dampened with water, then remove contaminants using ordinary stain removers. During the general cleaning upholstery carefully removed, numerated each panel (if not seamless padding made by), wash, iron and re-attach to the wall.

Painting of walls - part 3

To evenly painted walls, use rollers. Before starting work with the brush with paint cover corners, the surface next to the window and door openings and built-in furniture, around switches and sockets. The width of these bands should be equal to 7-10 cm Stain these places better than using a pointed round brush. In order not to stain the beams and ceiling, move the brush very carefully. Additionally, you can seal the adjacent space with duct tape. With the same purpose is sometimes used and a spatula. Keep him in his left hand and gradually advance as the staining of the angle.

Then you can start working with a roller. Strokes causing a criss-cross and pound. It is not necessary to recruit a large number of paint roller. Otherwise, remove the numerous streaks will not be so easy.

Staining plastered concrete or brick walls, it is necessary to feather the paint vertical movements of the instrument. If the repair is done in a private home from felled timber, the composition is applied in the direction of the wood fibers (along the log).

After staining the walls of the places most likely to get dirty and damaged: angles, areas around the outlets and switches, the parts that come into contact with furniture, it is necessary to protect the plastic components. Attach a plastic can with liquid nails.

In order to give your abode an original look, use a special dye formulations. For example, Flok coverage. It is a surface of tiny particles of enamel, which are applied to the wall using a special device. The shape and color flock may be different: one-and two-tone, pearl, metallic, iridescent, in the form of straw, flakes or stars.

Bears Flok coating on pre-aligned and primed adhesive composition of the wall. This process is carried out in several stages.

First, apply the adhesive. To do this, use rollers with a nap of medium length. This application provides the most uniform distribution of the surface of the wall. The base layer dries out quickly, even at room temperature. Therefore, flock spray immediately after application on the wall. Carry out this process is a slow circular motion, moving from top to bottom. Best done Flocking together: one person covers the wall with glue, and the second - acrylic particles. Once all the walls are decorated, they are left to dry completely (at 12-16h).

Top dry layer of enamel particles coated with clear varnish. Such wear-resistant surface and are not afraid of moisture. Walls can be washed in warm soapy water.

Flok coating is well suited for the design of kitchens and bathrooms. Original will look and entrance hall, whose walls shimmer with mother of pearl. In addition, Flok coating reflects the light well, doing poorly lit room less gloomy.

Simplify the process of applying flock as follows. The walls of rooms painted in any color. Then the flock is mixed with a special varnish and applied to the surface with a paint brush or roller. If you have a special spray paint, it is best to use them.

Another original decision in the design of the walls can become a paint with special effects.

Mosaic compositions have a special structure, through which different colors of paint do not mix among themselves and with the aid of special rollers on the surface of the wall, you can create a variety of patterns.

Mosaic of paint on the structure are suspended microscopic droplets of pigment, which is the color differs from the basic solution. The coating can be as two or more colors. Apply paint using the spray. During the spray droplets are split on the wall, resulting in a colored blotches of various sizes. Usually the surface, decorated with mosaic colors to mimic granite, cork, marble, velvet and suede.

Before applying the mosaic of paint must be carefully align the wall surface and primed its composition is close to the color base coating solution.

Decorated in this way the surface sufficiently resistant to abrasion and washing (except for opaque - they are best used in bedrooms and living rooms), so the mosaic of paint used to decorate the walls of bathrooms, kitchens and toilets.

In addition to the mosaic of colors, containing in its composition the smallest drop of pigment, there are convoys of microscopic solid inclusions. They have different shades of the same tone, and in its texture often imitate velvet. In addition, a disorderly arrangement of the coating on the walls creates a lot of original optical effects: an illusion of a soft radiance, ever-changing mist, and not bright flicker. When buying such formulations should be considered that the effect produced by a fully painted walls, can dramatically differ from that presented in a small booth in the store. This can be explained by differences in the area of ​​the decorated surfaces.

Modern paint industry produces and paints containing particles of nacre (sometimes called "chameleons"). This composition is semi-transparent, and the color of the surface depends on which angle you look at it. Coating can be applied on virtually any surface, but do not paint the "chameleon" all the walls entirely: it will look gaudy and pretentious. Pearl paint is best to emphasize the individual fragments of interior: cornices, side pylons, friezes.

There are special paints that contain special additives that slow drying. With these compositions can be created on the surface of walls of various designs. This is done the corresponding curly spatulas and rollers. First, a wall covered with a layer of base paint and wait for it to dry. Then, on this basis is applied special paint and start to create different patterns. To this end, there are roller with a wound on his material: scraps of velvet, suede, velours. Thus removes the top layer of paint. Instead of the roller can be pressed against the painted surface of crumpled paper or plastic film. To create the effect of the tree, you also need a spatula shaped. Keep in mind that the work will be more laborious and requires some skill. If you decide to use this type of paint, the experts advise to put it on a small area (0,8-1 m2). Once this site you will be treated, painted on nearby. It should be very careful, because between the painted parts are too demarcate.

Another option would cover close to the colorful compositions are liquid wallpaper. They are easily planted in a mixture of water, cotton fibers, cellulose raspushennoy and glue components. If desired, the composition can be added and colored fibers, which are sold separately. This will give a great decorative coating. Apply liquid wall can brush, trowel or roller. After drying it forms a beautiful and warm to the touch surface. The only drawback of the material - rabies. You can remove it by covering the wall after drying the composition with varnish.

Painting of walls - part 2

Bright walls make the room look larger, dark - less. If you paint every wall in their own special color, it will lead to interesting visual effects. If you want to postpone or bring one of the walls, the Colour the it color for 2 - 3 shades lighter or darker, respectively. To create the effect of calm and tranquility, pick up the pastel-colored paint with a matte structure: dispersion of the rays will Antireflective, soothing.

Defined with a choice of color, proceed to the choice of paint. In today's market it the choice is so vast that at first even difficult to determine what specific material is needed.

You can use traditional paints: oil, water-based, antibacterial, or in a mineral-based adhesive.

The first type - oil paint - the most ancient. Butter, serve as the basis for this coverage can be non-drying, semidrying and drying. The latter include tung, linseed and hemp. Experts believe that in order to paint the walls are better suited formulations based on linseed oil. Semidrying (corn, soybean and sunflower) and non-drying (castor) are not suitable for interior decoration.

Water-based paints dry fast, are not toxic and is easily diluted with water. Moisture evaporates from the paint partially, partially absorbed by the base, and on the surface of the walls is only the film formed by the dry color pigments. It has high strength and allows air to freely pass through the wall (which is very important for a good indoor climate). Water based paint makes the walls a matte, soft pastel tones. Color can be quite different depending on the organic dye.

Antibacterial paints suitable for decorating bathrooms, kitchens and toilets. They have a high degree of water resistance and contain algaecides and fungicides that prevent mold growth.

Should not be used for interior decoration perchlorovinyl compositions. Despite the fact that they hold much longer than other types of paints, have a high degree of water and wear resistance and virtually no fade in the sun, apply such compositions is only recommended for outdoor use, as a substance included in their composition, can be dangerous to health.

For painting the walls can be used acrylic matte and semi compositions. They are made on the basis of the solvent. As a binder used acrylic resin, which after evaporation foundation created on the surface of a solid film. This type of paint can be used to decorate virtually all surfaces. Drying such compositions quickly enough, and the second layer can be applied after 3 - 5 h after the first. If you want to create a matt or semi-matt surface, then this acrylic paints suited almost perfectly. The big plus of these compositions lies in the fact that they have virtually no sharp odor, and brushes and rollers after use, you can easily wash off with water.

With the use of acrylic resins are manufactured and glyptal paint (can be opaque to semi-gloss). Drying of these formulations is due to oxidation in air. Glyptal paint can be used in decorating the walls in bathrooms and kitchens, as they form a dense impermeable surface. These compounds are opaque, fit well, creating the effect of a stretched film. The only drawback of paints - a strong odor.

To gloss enamels are different. They can be either acrylic or glyptal. Drying such compositions quickly. Enamel can be diluted with white spirit or water. The film, which is formed on the painted surface, waterproof. Therefore, enamel is used for decorating the walls of damp rooms. In addition, such a surface is well cleaned. If you prefer, you can pick up the enamel without a sharp odor.

Semi-gloss paints have been producing recently. They are manufactured using the latest technologies. These compounds are very resistant to mechanical and chemical stress, so they can be used for painting walls in any room. Furthermore, the surface to be coated semi-gloss paints, can be either: concrete, plaster, slate, plywood, particle board, wood, brick, metal.

Minor flaws surface can be adjusted and mask with special paints. Binder in them are elastic resin. They form on the painted surface of thin film, which smooths out small bumps well and fine cracks. The only disadvantage of such coatings - the high cost.

If you plan to paint the metal surface, then you can do without pretreatment of anti-corrosive composition. To do this, use special paints that are made based on alkyd resins, and without the addition of lead.

For staining the wooden walls, you can use antibacterial paint (with the addition of fungicides). Such paints are well protect the wood from the appearance of mold.

In recent years, insecticidal paints. They destroy and repel pests, in addition, these compounds are struggling with the ticks that live in house dust. Waste products of mites cause allergies. Thus, the use of insecticidal paints to help reduce the risk of allergy or to facilitate its flow. They operate by the release of colors: after drying on the surface of crystallized particles of reagents in contact with which the insects are killed. Such paints are completely safe for humans and pets.

Another type of paint - lime. Often, such a composition is also called "stucco". Most often it is used for dyeing industrial buildings. Lime paint has a bactericidal and disinfectant properties, so that stucco is often used to combat mold, and various parasites which can live in wood surfaces. In addition, the composition of lime after drying smooths the surface of the walls. It can be used as a basis for other types of paints, and for self-decoration.

For painting the walls of stucco you need lime, glue, marble dust or Spanish chalk, natural dyes (clay, ocher, chimney soot), water (to create a paint), pan, trowel, a sieve, spray, sponge, casein, or soap, buckets, Brush, brush, palette knife (steel plate as a knife or spatula), trowel, spatula, cutter.

Paint manufactured as follows. First, a 1:2 ratio - 5 (depending on desired thickness of) mix the lime and water. Then in the resulting solution was added chalk, marble, pigment and glue. As the dyes can not use metal-based compositions. Otherwise, the lime to react with the metal. Natural non-metallic dyes usually dark, so you can not get a light-colored stucco. Stronger structure can be obtained by mixing lime and filler in a ratio of 1:1 or lime, filler and pigment in a ratio of 1:0,5:0,5. Approximate composition of stucco may be as follows: 1,5 - 2 kg of lime, 300 - 400 of marble dust and 500 - 600 g of chalk, 10 liters of soapy water. In the paint, you can add pigment. His number should not be more than 20% of the total solution. Otherwise, the paint does not catch up. As the release of the solution in the stucco can be added casein or buy a special hardener. Preparing a mixture of the eve of the works. It must stand for 10-12h.

Before applying paint to wet the surface of the wall with water. After the first coat of stucco is dry (the pigment in the composition is best not to add), it also is moistened and applied over the topcoat paint (already having the desired color). Amount of ink is spent on the second layer, depends primarily on the type of the decorated surface. Typically, 1 kg of paint missing on the staining of 2 m2 wall.

For more decorative, you can use the paint in several colors. You can mix them directly on the wall with a spatula. It is best to add in all shades of white paint. This will make the colors softer and creates an illusion of transparency.

To give final shape of the surface by using a palette knife, occasionally dipping it in soapy water and a wire on the painted surface in the contact points between paints of various colors that enhance the transition of tones. In addition, you can pass over the surface with a damp cloth. This will give the walls of the original invoice. Add gloss walls by using the impregnation of wax.

Top stucco covered with a layer of paint adhesive, highly diluted with water. This aligns the defects remaining after the surface coating of lime paint.

If the paint in the bank was covered with foil, then stir it need not: fragments of dried up layer will remain on the painted surface, giving it a slovenly appearance. Film must be carefully cut along the edge, along the banks of the shell itself, and pull out. If all failed to remove it, the paint is filtered through a nylon stocking.

The paint should be applied with a thin layer (note that for once all the paint room is likely to fail). After the first layer is applied next. Complete painting of the walls carried out in 2 - 3 admission. Keep in mind that deposited in several stages paint will stick much better than that deposited in one step.

Although the staining can be performed as at one time or two. In the first case of paint is applied on the surface of the wall and carefully shade in any one given direction. In this case, the paint is applied relatively thick layer, and then its up to a more subtle shade. If the work is performed in two approaches, the composition initially applied in one direction and then rolled in fresh paint in the other. In this case, all the bands that will inevitably remain on the surface after the tool overlap, the surface is a more even, without the unpainted areas.

Staining in two steps, is best done alone. An employee must apply paint horizontally, and another shade it vertically. If you are painting alone, the hook is working. For example, cover part of the wall (1,5 - 2 m wide) paint, causing strokes in the horizontal direction. Then blend of vertical movements. During the painting carefully, make sure that between the jaw had no visible boundaries, and after shading on the surface were not formed rough and sharp bands.

In addition, the staining can be performed once or twice. The second time the walls repainted in the case where the surfaces of the gaps or drips or if the composition was maloukryvistym (through the coat shine basis). If you paint the wall an oil composition, repeat the staining is possible only after the complete drying of the first layer. If we used glue or lime paint, then refinishing need of a lighter shade on the original, or less saturated colors.

In the low areas (2,2 - 2,7 m) walls should not divide horizontally on contrasting parts. This visually reduces the height of the already low ceilings. Painting should be carried out as close as possible to the ceiling. Indent can make 5 - 7 cm, no more. The reason is that the broad frieze, friezes and cornices make the room visually below.
