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.
