STRUCTURE PAINT

Structural paint for walls is a relatively new type of facade and interior decoration. These are environmentally friendly materials that are allowed to be used in houses and apartments, offices and kindergartens, schools and hospitals, sanatoriums and rest homes.

Structural paint is often referred to as textured, textured, or embossed paint. These names accurately characterize the main property of paints - to acquire relief and texture. With the help of modern paints and varnishes, three-dimensional drawings and patterns can be applied to the walls: bark beetle, wave, zebra, cage, braid, etc. Textured walls can look like concrete, natural stone, brickwork, velvet or leather.

Structural mixtures are suitable for finishing various surfaces:
concrete;
asbestos cement;
drywall;
bricks;
Chipboard;
oriented strand board or fibreboard;
MDF;
plastered and unplastered bases.

The application of structural paint is not particularly difficult, therefore, if desired, everyone can master the technology of its application.

Texture paints are increasingly replacing decorative plaster, wallpaper, artificial stone and other finishes.

The reason for this popularity lies in the advantages of the material:
it is easy to apply;
dries quickly;
does not fade when exposed to sunlight;
does not absorb moisture, dirt and foreign odors;
easy to clean;
does not wear out, does not lose its original appearance;
tolerates repeated cleaning with household detergents;
resistant to open flames, sudden changes in temperature and frost;
maintains natural air exchange between the wall and the environment;
can be used in rooms with high humidity (kitchens, bathrooms, saunas, baths);
suitable for both indoor and outdoor use;
does not contain toxic substances and allergens, therefore it is safe for people, warm-blooded animals and other fauna;
does not require careful preparation of the base for painting;
perfectly hides irregularities, scratches, potholes and other minor defects;
creates a durable and elastic coating that does not crack over time and does not move away from the wall.

Before applying the texture suspension on surfaces painted with acrylic or other varnish-and-paint material, it is not necessary to remove the old coating - the composition adheres perfectly to most types of substrates.

Manufacturers of building materials produce base mixes and colors for them - special coloring pigments, with the help of which a texture mix can be given about 1,000 shades. Structural painted walls can be repainted in a different color using acrylic-based paintwork materials.

VARIETIES OF STRUCTURAL PAINTS

Structural suspensions differ from each other in composition and type of application. So, mineral based on cement and lime are more often used for facade decoration. Silicone and vinyl can be applied to any substrate other than home or garden furniture. Paints based on acrylic resins are universal - they can be painted on any surface.

Designers often use paint with a rough effect in the interior. Such a covering becomes similar to dressed animal skin, and the room looks warm and cozy. Some textured varieties contain special additives that give the treated surface a similarity to velor, suede, granite or marble.

WALL PREPARATION

The preparation of walls for painting is carried out in several stages:
1. Align large differences in height, putty cracks, joints and voids with a depth of more than 2 mm.
2. Wipe off the dust, degrease the greasy surfaces - wash with dishwashing gel or wipe with acetone, solvent, white spirit.
3. Areas covered with mold are dried and treated with an anti-fungal agent.
4. Apply a layer of primer and wait for it to dry completely. Most often, a primer paint is used, tinted in the same shade as structural paint. This ensures high adhesion of materials and ease of subsequent structuring.

APPLICATION METHODS

It is best to apply the structural composition with a large paint brush (brush), a roller with a short fur coat, a spatula or a stainless float. The wall to be painted must be visually divided into small segments and processed in turn.
Since textured suspensions are structured within 20-30 minutes after being applied to the wall, you should not capture an area larger than 1-1.5 square meters at a time. m.

To create the desired relief, you can use different devices:
foam sponge;
a brush with a hard bristle;
metal or plastic spatula;
rectangular trowel;
comb;
embossed grater;
paint roller with structuring attachments (nap, rubber or leather);
stencils and stamps.

To prevent the painted base from shining through, the paint layer should not be made too thin, and pressing on the working part of the tools should not be too strong.

When working with texture paints, there are a few more nuances to consider:
1. Apply the composition to the wall from top to bottom.
2. During a break, cover the bucket or cuvette with paint with a lid or plastic wrap so that the material does not dry out ahead of time.
3. Facade works should be carried out in dry and relatively calm weather at an air temperature from +5 to + 30 ° С.
4. When painting interior surfaces, take care of ventilation.

It is advisable to decorate a room or a facade together - one person distributes the textured mixture along the wall, and the other structures the painted surface with improvised tools. If necessary, the wall can be painted in 2 layers, but the second layer should be applied only after the first layer has completely dried.

In the limitless range of finishing materials for wall renovation, special attention should be paid to water-based decorative paints, which are becoming more and more popular from year to year (see photos below).

Features and Benefits

This finish has many useful functional qualities that also make its growing popularity understandable. It is easy to care for the surface covered with paint, it is easy to remove the arisen dirt from it, which is not always possible on the wallpaper. The finish is moisture resistant, it can be used in bathrooms and toilets, and when added with an antiseptic, it protects the walls in a damp room. The materials are non-toxic and meet all environmental standards, so that it can be safely applied to the walls of children's rooms. Small scratches and cracks are less visible on textured surfaces. Since it is applied to the wall surface in a thin layer, the consumption is significantly lower than that of plaster, therefore, it is a more economical solution.

The only "but" that should be remembered when choosing decorative paint as a finish is that the wall must be prepared - even, without bulges and cracks. Actually, this is the only drawback, you cannot do without the participation of professionals in order to apply the finish with high quality, avoiding possible peeling and crackling.

How to choose decorative paint

First of all, you need to mentally combine the style of the design project and the existing quality of the walls and think about which type of material is best suited:

glossy

• textured

With the help of gloss, you can visually increase the size of a not very large room. On the other hand, a matte finish is better suited to classic design styles. Having chosen the main type of paint, you should pay attention to its qualities such as:

hiding power (how much it will cover the base, will it not show through)

durability (how many times the surface can be cleaned)

adhesion (how strongly the paint adheres to the surface when peeling can occur)

The standard service life is 10 years, and even then you can only update the shortcomings that have arisen. Decorative paint does not change color under UV light, so you don't have to repaint the entire wall. Then you can move on to considering specific types of paint and effects, the variety of which is limited only by imagination.
