Paint is used to update the appearance of the outdoor coating. This method is used as owners of apartments and owners of non-residential premises. The main advantage of sex staining is the fact that the paint is capable of applied on any kind of surface: from wood, concrete, plaster, etc. At the same time, painting does not require hiring specialists or using special equipment. It is capable of performing even one person.
Among other advantages, floor staining should be allocated:
- the stability of the coating in front of moisture, as most of the paints applied to the floor, possess moisture resistance;
- the paint creates a protective film on the floor, which protects it from various kinds of influences;
- the coating becomes simple in care and easily withstands any type of cleaning, both dry and wet;
- paint application is performed quickly and does not require special physical efforts to conduct it, besides this, after drying paint, the floor is ready for further operation;
- this type of finishing is characterized by economy and affordable cost, therefore is the most popular among alternative options.
Among the shortcomings of painting floors in the house, allocate:
- low thermal insulation, in winter, walking through the painted floor does not bring comfort, so it requires installation of rugs;
- low wear resistance, this coating is not able to operate for a long time and requires periodic update;
- low dried speed, most of the paints dry out from two to seven days, at this time go through the floor is prohibited;
- the appearance of the coating is rather simple, so when arranging a special design room, floor staining will be inappropriate.
How to paint the floor - process technology
The first stage of work is preparatory. It requires the removal of old flooring or other finishing materials, if available. If there are fat spots on the surface, they are removed using degreasing means, such as White Spirit.
When applying wax for the purpose of rubbing floors, it should also be deleted. It is better to make it using a solution of soda with water, in the proportion of a glass of seven liters of liquid. Next, apply a mixture to the surface of the floor and erase the wax using a rigid brush. Finally, rinse the floor with clean water and leave until complete drying.
In the presence of convex bitch on the wooden floor, remove them with the help of the chisels, and the caps from fasteners are drowning into several millimeters deep into and cover.
Before starting staining, treat the surface with a primer or olifa, the last option is suitable exclusively for floors made of wood. If you can wait a few days until the solution is well absorbed into the surface and starts to perform the intended functions. If necessary, in the presence of a perfectly level surface, it is recommended to treat the floor with a putty, choose the compositions with the oil base, which are distinguished by high wear resistance and will serve on the floor for many years. Note that the color of the putty should not be very different from the color of the floor. Apply putty on the entire surface of the floor, eliminate irregularities or minor defects. With the help of skins, stabbing uneven areas. If you wish, repeat these actions several times until the surface acquires the desired appearance.
After the preparatory stage is completed, the coloring procedure is followed, which will make the floor attractive in appearance and protect it from external stimuli.
Before starting work, pour the paint from the can and mix until the mixture becomes a homogeneous consistency and structure. Please note that the presence of lumps or small bunches is unacceptable.
Using a painting tape, protect areas that do not require staining, but directly contact with the floor. It is this material that protects these places from the sudden getting paint.
Cut the staining in stages. First apply the first layer of paint, after drying it, apply another layer. Applying the second layer will make the surface more attractive and high-quality painted. The second layer must dry out at least four days.
Tip: When repeated staining to the surface, it is enough to apply one layer of paint, but if the floor is painted for the first time, then you should apply at least two, and sometimes three layers.
Note that the application layer should be thin, otherwise, after a certain time, it will be deformed and swell.
Wooden flooring is made horizontally movement of wood fibers. It is preferable to start working from the perimeter of the room, namely from the plinth.
Type a little paint, press the tissue about the edge of the tank, in which the paint is located and apply it to the surface. Keep a brush under the tilt in relation to the surface in the surface. Try to work with smooth movements - smears. The required thickness of the layer also affects the power of pressing the brush and its color saturation.
After staining the plinths, proceed to applying paints to the entire surface of the floor.
Do it better with roller. Start work with corner areas:
- lower the roller in the bath with paint;
- soak it;
- press the embossed area on the bath;
- attach the roller to the floor and roll out the paint on the surface.
Tip: Do not open the roller from the floor until it is at least a little paint.
When the first layer of paint dries, inspect the surface for the presence of defects, and, if necessary, re-staining. The floor should not contain divorces, drops from paint, stains, drips, or roller traces.
Take care of the cleaning of the entire glued ribbon, the remains of the oil, oil on the floor. This is done with the help of periodic cleaning of the floor with a special solution, to prepare which it will be necessary to dilute water with vinegar. At the same time, the addition of soap, powder, any cleaning agents or soda in this mixture is unacceptable, as it will significantly affect the attractiveness of the coating. If the appearance of the floor is satisfactory - proceed to its operation.
Painting of wooden floor
Wooden floors are environmentally friendly types of coatings that are able to maintain a healthy microclimate and an atmosphere indoors, so their popularity is very large.
In addition, this type of flooring is distinguished by strength, durability of use, resistant to many stimuli. But at the same time, the wooden floor requires special care, and in particular, processing various kinds of antiseptics, impregnations, etc.
Before proceeding with painting a wooden floor, you should take care of the choice of high-quality material, which will help save it during operation.
In the ratio of appearance, paint materials for wooden floors are:
- transparent;
- colored.
The first option consists of varnishes or impregnations. Some of them contain special substances that contribute to a clearer manifestation of wood texture.
Colored types involve the use of paints of various origins. Among them should be allocated materials:
- polyurethane;
- oily;
- alkyd;
- acrylic origin.
The main functions of impregnates are the protection of the tree from fire or biological stimuli in the form of fungi or mold.
Impregnation there are two types:
- antipit;
- biocidal or antiseptic.
The first option makes a tree that is unreported and protects it from fire. Their use is associated with public, industrial or residential buildings.
The second contribute to the improvement of the antiseptic properties of the tree and protect it from biological impact.
There are two types of impregnates:
- superficial action;
- deep action.
Only the first option is suitable for applying your own hands to the floor. Before applying impregnation to the surface, it should be pre-cleaned and dried. To apply impregnation, use the spray or tassel.
Another type of impregnation are oil based funds. For their manufacture, oil or flax oil is used, as well as modified natural resins, strengthening and protecting wood tint. The oil base is better absorbed by wood, so it acts more efficiently.
Pay attention to such types of oils, as part of which there is no solvent. It is better if the oil will have a natural basis and will not need to wait for it to dry. The use of oils is associated with rooms with high operational load, such as corridors, living room or entrance hall. In addition, they are suitable for treating sex in unheated rooms or in rooms with high levels of humidity.
If we consider the issue of choosing a varnish or paint, then here it is necessary to proceed from the individual characteristics of the premises and personal preferences of its owners. Luck is less stable before the exposure to mechanical stimuli in the form of shoes, heavy items, etc., so its use is limited as a coating.
In the process of choosing paint, pay attention to the environmental factor, the best option will be the material on a water-dispersive basis, which does not contain in its composition of solvents of organic origin.
This type of paints is distinguished by water resistance, good clutch with the surface and color resistance. For painting floor in the kitchen or in the bathroom it is recommended to get paint on an acrylic basis. It is stronger and stable before moisture. To paint parquet use alkyd enamel.
Tip: When choosing a quantity of paint, you should first find out the area of \u200b\u200bthe painted room. At each bank with paint, its consumption per square meter is indicated. In the calculation it is necessary to take into account the number of layers and calculate paint consumption.
Instructions for painting the floor do it yourself:
- clean the floor, take care of the absence of dirt, dust, various kinds of spots;
- get out and prcribpt all the gaps, wait for them to dry;
- severy, sand and dry the floor;
- apply the compositions of the antiseptic action and wait until they are dried;
- color the floor selected varnish or paint.
Tip: Apply the second layer of paint, only after complete drying of the first. Otherwise, the paint is deformed.
The lacquer coloring procedure is practically no different from paint. Although there are subtleties here. After applying the first layer, it is necessary to wait for it to dry, pollute the surface and apply the second layer. In compliance with this technology, the coating will acquire perfect evenness and pleasant shine. Varnish is applied at least three layers.
Painting Paul paint is carried out by various technologies, among which we highlight three main:
- Wooden flooring using olifes or primer. Drying for three days. Drying paint, drying it. Applying the second layer and waiting from 3 to 6 days.
- Put surface using a mixture with an oil base. Aligning cracks and other defects. Floor treatment with shallow beams. Its putty and alignment. Paint in two or three layers.
- Application of olifes on the floor surface. Its dried and putty, which is carried out several times. Floor stripping with a skirt, its primer, drying and painting in at least three layers.
Tip: When choosing a type of primer, you should consider the type of paint, which will be applied to the floor surface. For example, when applying acrylic enamel, the primer must be acrylic.
Concrete Painting: Features and Technology
The quality of surface preparation directly affects the duration of the maintenance of a concrete painted coating. First of all, it should be removed from the floor dirt, garbage, dust, old paint or bitumen.
Take care of the removal of concrete crumbs, close and cover the small surface drops, if available. With the help of a special grinding machine, spend the surface grinding. It is this process that allows you to make the surface to smooth and significantly improve the adhesion between the paint and the floor.
The use of a vacuum cleaner or ordinary mops will help to get rid of dust. For dedusting the concrete base, acquire the compositions of polymeric origin. They will significantly improve the quality of concrete. To strengthen the concrete surface, use toppings are impregnation with a strengthening effect. Related effects will increase the strength of the foundation and protect the floor from the appearance of dust for 4 years.
In order for the adhesion between concrete floors and paint the best, use the primer. Among the large variety of this material, select the composition, in accordance with the type of paint, which the surface will be processed.
To apply the primer, use the roller from the foam rubber, which contributes to the uniform distribution of the soil on the surface. Protecting primer requires compliance with special technology:
- to begin with, you need to mix;
- so that the floor was not slippery, add to the finished mixture a little quartz sand;
- apply the composition with two or three layers.
After buying and selecting paint for the floor, a definition of the type of tool used in operation. It can be an ordinary brush, roller or spacing. The decisive factor in this question will be the paint that will be applied to the surface.
The latter option contributes to the best paint application. In addition, it is characterized by ease of execution, economy and a small amount of time that staining occupies.
Next, the drying of the floor, which is carried out under certain conditions. When carrying out this process, the temperature in the room should be about 19 degrees, and humidity - up to 86%. The floor dries over three to eight days, it all depends on the conditions of drying and the type of paint. After drying, the coating is ready for further operation.
