Molding Material Materials

For the manufacture of moldings, a wide variety of materials use, among whom are popular as:

Each type of material has its own characteristics. Gypsum is a natural raw material, but it is necessary to consider that he crumbs and is afraid of moisture. Also to establish a laying of plaster need to contact a specialist, which will significantly affect the cost.

If necessary, it will not be difficult to wash with any detergent. Even if the desired color is white, paint molding is still needed.

Step-by-step instruction on coloring molding

To create an original and aesthetic design of the dwelling, you need to prepare a sketch, attach molding and paint it in accordance with certain requirements. So, the method of this process looks like this:

1. At the first stage we select the necessary palette. The original shade of the polyurethane product on the ceiling will have gray. If the desired color is white, in this case, in white paint should be added a little yellow. It will also successfully look like products, painted paint with a small addition of color close to the shade of the walls.
2. Next glue molding to the surface of the wall. It follows the already existing decorative coating - wallpaper, paint, plaster. Otherwise, the polyurethane element will not hold on.
3. For gluing you need to use two types of glue. The first is a special composition for fastening the product itself. It has the ability to penetrate enough enough and provide a solid connection. The second form is intended for the processing of the jacks between the elements.
4. In the process, it should be noted that glue for molding has quite strong properties, gluing happens almost instantly. Then, in the case of any error, the product is no longer possible to adjust in the required direction.
5. After decorative elements are glued, you should pay attention to the joints. First process them with the second type of adhesive composition. Then the brinks need to sand and sharpen, using the acrylic-based putty for this. At this stage of the process, special attention should be paid, since after applying paint, even small roughness will be noticeable.
6. Next we applied the primer. We choose this material based on acrylic. Such primer has the ability to deeply penetrate the product pores. If we work with porous material, such as polyurethane, this feature is quite relevant. Only subject to the full filling of pores, the paint will be very well based on the basis.
7. After that, using a painting brush, proceed to staining the molding. Learning how to paint polyurethane molding, pay attention to the layer thickness. When painting should apply a substance with a dense layer, since in this case the surface becomes more relief.
8. At the final stage, with a spatula of small sizes or brushes cover the product with decorative plaster. For fragments from polyurethane, the best option will be the coating with the effect of gold or pearl.
9. Also for final finishing, Special painting formulations are approaching. Their use will make it possible to imitate the surface of the old tree, weathered stone, gold, etc.

Molding use will provide an opportunity to place an apartment or a house with minimal cost and get the maximum effect. Applying this element, you can visually create the effect of palace stucco, hide unsightly sections of the surface of the walls, visually "lift" the ceiling or vice versa to make it below. The range of use depends only on the borders of the fantasy.
