Painting of walls

Paint underlines the shortcomings of the walls, so before work surface to align more closely than for pasting wallpaper.

If the walls are covered with a layer of rust or old paint, then you can clean off with iron brushes or scrapers. Rinse stains from mold and various leaks. Surface affected by fungus, treat with a bactericidal compound. If you're going to paint the stone, brick or concrete walls, they are minor defects can be eliminated by grinding stone (pumice or leschadi). Wooden walls align with the help of a small plane and chisels with zhelobkovidnuyu, sharpened the edge of the metal plate. Small notches are removed cycles.

When your foundation walls will be leveled, proceed to the coating (better use of the deep penetration). If the primer of vitriol, then after it dries the wall is best once again primed with the composition, which contains more than chalk. After drying, the primer set guides. Then proceed to installation mayachkovyh profiles. It is best to take the boards from galvanized steel (the thickness of the edge - at least 6 mm, height 5-7 mm less than the height of the wall). Reverse side of the profile covered with a layer of plaster. Armature is pressed against the wall and lap, constantly monitoring its verticality. The distance between the beacons is the length of the rules by means of which line the walls (if the width can then get out the length of 2 m).

Then the prepared solution for balancing the walls. For this purpose, 15-gallon bucket or pot in a 1:2 ratio mix dry plaster and cold water. Mass vymeshivayut up until its consistency becomes like a thick cream.

The resulting solution is applied to the area between the beacons of a wide spatula. Motion must go from the bottom up. After the deposition of excess solution is removed aluminum rule. The tool is pressed against the lighthouse and move downward. Surplus plaster put back into the container with leveling compound and the resulting gaps and cavities filled with a solution, and again leveled the rule. Operation is repeated as long as the wall does not become completely flat.

After 40-50 minutes after the completion of work can begin smoothing the surface. For this small amount of mixture is diluted with water to the consistency of liquid cream. The resulting solution is applied to the wet plaster has not and reseat the rectangular trowel. As a result, you should get a durable, glossy and smooth surface.

Angles of the walls can be strengthened with the profile of stainless steel. Its put on the plaster and mortar lap.

After the plaster dries slightly, it attaches a special glass cloth mesh. It makes the surface more durable, eliminates the majority of small irregularities. Impose a grid on the wall and grind in a spatula. Surplus mortar squeezed out through the cell (better to take the grid with hole size 2x2 cm) and remove. Adhesively bonded material with overlap in the 7-10 cm, covering them of corner profiles for 1,5 - 2 cm

When the wall is completely dry, it is covered with two layers of putty. Inflict it on the wall surface using a wooden or steel trowel. For finishing bottlenecks using hard rubber band of appropriate size (the edge of the material must be precisely cut). This will greatly facilitate the work and make it more accurate and higher quality.

Work with putty as follows. Diluted in the tank cover of a wet cloth or polythene to protect from drying out. Start with the top of the wall. For convenience, the capacity to put sealer on the stool (when they approach to leveling the bottom of the wall, the bucket is moved to the floor). Next, scoop a small amount of the spatula and apply it netolstym layer on the wall. Click on the spatula blade with his left hand and leveled filler (the tool held at a slight angle to the surface). Layer structure should be fairly subtle, it depends on how hard to press the spatula. The stronger the pressure, the thinner the layer, and vice versa.

If the walls are relatively smooth, it suffices to proshpaklevat their 1 - 2 times. Before applying the next layer to go through the already oshpaklevannoy surface sanded and how should it align. Pelt is necessary to add a few times (to make the material more stiffness) and rub it over the wall in different directions. To make it easier to work with, wind sandpaper on a wooden block or a scrap board. If you decide to perform polishing with pumice, then it must first establish a working surface, to which the operations are performed. To this end, one side of the pumice and neatly stitch lap.

Re-putty already applied to the wet wall. That the composition is better behaved, can be primed surface to dry it and only then covered with a layer structure. Putty on a dirt easier, since the composition will form a thin, even layer. If you do not ogruntovyvat wall, the previous layer of putty will absorb moisture from the newly deposited, resulting in the composition becomes thicker and it will be bad leveled.

Then, after complete drying, the surface smooth down the shallow sandpaper, remove dust and soil, the type of composition, which is best suited for follow-facing walls.

The new plaster a lot of bases, so before painting should be thoroughly dry the surface. Paint is best to choose on the basis of not containing solvents. The primer also choose a synthetic. Recently, the popularity received an antibacterial acrylic composition. It penetrates deep into the work surface, has a fire and explosion. To cause this type of primer may be virtually any surface: from the cement plaster to wood and drywall. In addition, it protects the well-Wall from the emergence and reproduction of various microorganisms. Acrylic primer can be used as a basis for applying all types of paints, except for oil. Applied it in a single layer with spray, brush or roller.

Immediately prior to painting rooms to be carefully check the condition of working tools. Brushes and rollers must be completely clean, without paint residues. To test the strength of the brush, pull the pile: it should not come out. If you produce staining using substandard instruments, then all your work will be in vain: on the surface of the walls may leave traces, divorce, the pile of brush.

After all the preparatory work begin immediately to painting the room. Before painting, the composition is stirred. To do this, use the nozzle-mixer on a drill. Fixture will perform razmerivanie higher quality. To mix the paint over the entire volume, the instrument should be lowered vertically and move downward. Before you remove the nozzle from the paint, you must wait until the drill stop. Otherwise, the spray of dirty all around, and the careless touch of the rotating tool can lead to injury.

Brush before beginning work and must be prepared. New brushes should obbit on any hard surface. This will remove the weakly holding on to the pile (it can stay on the painted surface) and smooth it.

Before starting to decorate the walls, it is necessary to choose the paint. Adjust color, consider the purpose of the room. Designers are advised to combine the decor or the shades of the same spectrum, or the opposite. Recently arrange rooms in fashionable red. Note that psychologists do not recommend this way to decorate a bedroom, because red stimulates the nervous system that leads a person into trouble. But for the kitchen, he is fine: all shades of red increase appetite and mood. Better for children's rooms decorated interiors in yellow (commonly used, and all shades of beige color of fresh wood). The walls of bedrooms desired color blue or light blue.

The walls, painted in gray and white colors, will serve as a good background for bright furniture. Such a coating will not attract undue attention, and bright accents make the room comfortable, give it personality.

Currently in vogue Mediterranean-style interior. It is focused on the design of dwellings in Italy and Greece. The walls of the room, decorated in a style - no more than a backdrop for furniture made of wood or wrought iron. Therefore, their color should not be too bright: white, pale yellow, blue, turquoise, terracotta, cream and olive.
