Many townsfolk are sacredly confident in one thing. The fact that to paint the facade of the house is first, easy, and secondly, quickly. Good deeds are not done quickly and the facady is also painted in. Many noticed how quickly and easily the facades of multi -storey buildings “professionals” from ZhEK are painted. The guys do this not for themselves, but because they have such a job. And accordingly, most of them do not love their work and tries to do everything as quickly as possible, even if the quality suffers at the same time. What do we have as a result? And as a result, the facade of the painted man at home rushes in cracks in a year. And after a couple of years, most of the paint flies around. And again it is required to paint, and again everything is done «Tyap Lyap».
But if you make a house for yourself? Rather, they have already done it, but at the same time you do not have a large amount of free money for the exclusive decoration of the facade and therefore stopped on the painting option, whether you need such a “work” when in two or three years you will have to start all over again?
If not, and you prefer to spend a little more time and do everything efficiently and for many years, then this article is designed specifically for you. In it, we will talk about how to properly prepare the facade of the house for painting, as well as give several practical tips on how to paint itself. Ready? Then we will start from the beginning, namely, with the preparation of the walls of the house.
If your house is made of wood, then it is necessary to thoroughly plunge and seal everything, even the smallest cracks and holes from nails. The fact is that often the paint gets down early due to the fact that the cracks were not filled up and moisture fell into them. Therefore, take a special putty for street work, high -quality acrylic sealant and forward — eliminate small flaws, which can later turn into completely rather big problems.
Oddly enough, but to align the sealant is best with a finger, and remove excess from the surface with a damp sponge. Remember that it is not worth it immediately after sealing cracks, because the sealant can be shrinkable. That is, after two days it is necessary to check all the cracks again and grind them with a second layer of sealant if required. After that, again, it will be necessary to give time to dry.
Cracks and holes? Excellent, now you can start directly to painting the house. But first of all, it is best to prepare all the necessary tools. Just so as not to rush after the site in search of any little thing. So, you will need a large and clean sponge. The sponge was found? And now my facade at home. You don’t want to, because you think such a job is too complicated? Take any jar of paint and read that it must be applied to the surface clean and dry. And no — it will not work to wash the house from the hose, because in this case the tree will lay down from a large amount of water. At the same time, keep in mind. that if the house is not new, then you will first have to remove the remnants of the old paint using scrains.
Now about brushes for paint. Carefully read the inscription on a bank with paint. If it clearly says that a certain type of brush is required, then you should not engage in amateur performances and experiment, spend your time in vain. Just take exactly the brush that is needed. If there are no inscriptions, it is recommended to take several wide and narrow brushes, as well as a foam roller.
You need to buy paint the best you can find. Remember that when buying a good and verified paint from a brand manufacturer, you pay not only for the label and name, but also get a guarantee of the quality of the goods. The most popular are German colors now. Ideally, polyurethane acrylic latex paint is suitable, since polyurethane is “colored glue”, which will grasp the surface of the tree the best.
