Latex paint for walls and ceilings, and application technology

The main parameters of water-based paints ↑

Vodoemulsionki has certain advantages:

1. painted area dries quickly. A few hours after applying the wall is completely dry.
2. this finishing material is harmless, safe for health and the environment. No need to leave the room during painting works;
3. there is no unpleasant odor;
4. adding additional pigment you have, you can get any color to paint the walls and ceiling. In DIY stores offer colourless tones, as well as directories with different pigments. A professional consultant helping buyers make the right choice the basics for decorating the ceiling and walls;
5. for applying this composition do not need special tools.

Disadvantages of the material:

• the you have cannot be used at temperatures below +5 degrees.

Operating parameters water emulsion of a mixture of ↑

Prior to the acquisition of similar compounds, pay attention to its technical characteristics:

• viscosity;
• composition;
• expiration date;
• maximum flow;
• the proportion

In such a mixture shall include the following components:

• filler;
• latex;
• antiseptic;
• thickener.

The average consumption in the painting of walls and ceiling is 150-200 ml per square meter. The number of layers is determined by the absorbent material, which is applied water-based paint.

Viscosity is an assessment of the degree of dilution of dye to water. To determine this index is used viscometer.

The average time for full drying of the surface of the ceiling and walls is 18 to 24 hours, depends on the humidity of the air, and the air temperature.

Application of vodoemulsionki ↑

Using such structure it is possible to choose the perfect color for walls, ceiling, pick up the texture of the coating. There are several technologies for applying such mixtures, the choice depends on the coating conditions. Using the textured roller, you can get the unique result is the original surface. In order to cover for a long time pleasing their aesthetic appearance, adhere to certain rules relating to the technology of drawing on the walls and ceiling of vodoemulsionki.

1. A preparatory stage. It is necessary to eliminate all irregularities, to use for this putty. Once the walls are prepared, they applied plaster finish, you can begin to paint. Near the painted wall clears the space, remove all items to a distance of not less than 1.5 metres. The floor is covered with a protective coating. First to the painted surface apply a coat of primer. It provides reliable surface adhesion and vodoemulsionki. Due to the good absorbency of the primer, the surface is aligned, the paint will go without lumps and smudges. Wait until the primer is completely dry, yet is not formed on the wall of the protective film (4-6 hours).
2. In DIY stores offer thick latex mixture. To finish was matte and uniform, latex paint diluted with water, thoroughly mixed.
   The Council! As auxiliary attachments for proper mixing use low rpm electric drill, planting her head in the form of a mixer.
3. In cases when you plan to build walls textured pattern, no need to dilute with water water-based paint, suitable thick consistency.
4. Mixing paint is directly in front of the painting. To get the desired color you need a special color. One or several callers added to the original paint in small portions, mix thoroughly until you get the desired shade. In many large construction supermarkets have a special installation designed for the selection of water-based paints.

The demand for such paints is due to their technical characteristics, let us examine them in more detail.

The choice of tools depends on what effect you want to achieve.

With a roller the paint is distributed uniformly over the surface. The brush is needed to paint hard to reach areas of the wall. The sponge is perfect for creating on the wall of the relief pattern, it will require a thick solution of latex paint. Armed with rollers with different length of the pile, stiffness, it is possible to obtain certain effects.

1. Small portions and pours the paint into the tray, you can buy at the hardware store. The perimeter wall progressivem a brush, so as not to get paint on the other walls. Further, the roller progressivem the source surface.
   The Council! To cushion it easier to use, first dipping the roller into the paint and rolled it on thick white paper. After the roller NAP is fully soaked with paint, start painting the wall. You can start with any section, but the best professionals believe the color of the walls from above.

Can a similar result to using thick paint. If roller applied to the wall of undiluted water paint, uneven surface with «pimples».

Varieties of vodoemulsionki ↑

Currently, there are unit all water-based paints into four types, depending on the selected polymer:

• silicone;
• acrylic;
• mineral;
• silicate.

Water-based acrylic paints ↑

This type is considered to be most in demand in today’s construction market. The main component of such material is an acrylic resin. In addition to the composition are often added to the latex, which increases the resistance to water. The surfaces painted with acrylic paints, you can wash it with plain water, without deterioration of appearance. Manufacturers of such compositions indicate on labels that can be 4000-5000 times to wash the coating.

Double layer acrylic composition, which has a latex filler, you can remove cracked having a diameter of 0.5-1 mm. It is perfectly placed on brick, concrete, wood, glass surface. Such composition is suitable for decorating metal surfaces. Some examples of such painting tools, note the paint «weak». This kind of safe, has no unpleasant peculiar smell, it dries fairly quickly.

Water-based silicone materials ↑

In their composition includes a silicone resin. These materials are relatively high cost, they are suitable for all types of surfaces, creating a vapor tight cover. With their help you can decorate cracks up to 2mm, even in high humidity areas without fear of the emergence of the fungus.

Water-based silicate structures ↑

Water-based silicate paint is a mixture of water, color pigments, and liquid glass. These mixtures have high permeability, water vapor permeability, resistant to atmospheric humidity. The operational life of such compositions is 20 years.

Water-based mineral mixture ^ the

Water-based mineral compounds included in the composition of hydrated lime or cement. Similar compounds are used for decorating walls and ceilings. Vodoemulsionka ideal for painting brick and concrete surfaces.

For the preparation of polyvinyl acetate water-based mixtures of pigments will be overwritten on polyvinyl acetate emulsion. The main advantage of such compositions lies in their application in closed rooms. The resulting film has high strength. The coating is resistant to mineral oils, fats, moisture, withstands direct sunlight.

Vodoemulsionka am one of those types of coatings that have high quality at an affordable cost. The variety of shades, which you can order directly in the store (for a small fee), you can make the desired changes in the interior of his apartment.
