How to choose acrylic paint for interior woodwork

Self-painting the door

This will require:

Solvents. They will help preserve the texture of the canvas.

It will be required if the canvas has been in use for a long time - paint layers exceed 5 mm. Experience in work is required - strong heating from 300⁰ will lead to misfortune. Due to the low temperature, the home option will not work. A sander or a set of emery skins. The paint will lay smoother on a smooth surface. Brushes, rollers - depending on the texture of the canvas. Better to have both. Masking tape, rags

The work is associated with dirt, it is important to clean up sloppy drips immediately

Suitable types of paints

The industry produces floor paints on a different basis, with special characteristics and applications, their pros and cons.

Features of applying quick-drying paints

Popular odorless acrylic wall paints are ideal for wood surfaces and lend themselves well to tinting.

Special antiseptics are added to paintwork materials for wood, which protect wood from moisture, insect damage, and fungal spores. Antifungal acrylic compounds are used for painting rooms with high humidity.

Special antiseptics are added to paintwork materials for wood, which protect wood from moisture, insect damage, and fungal spores.

Using a wooden surface as an example

Lining is often used to decorate insulated loggias. You can start painting when the air temperature is above + 10 ° C. The optimum moisture content is 75%. A day after staining, the loggia can be used if the coating was applied in accordance with the technology.

The main stages of staining:

1) Surface preparation. Remove:

Old coating, if any;
The resin is pre-heated with a hair dryer;
Fungal lesions, clean the boards to clean wood.

The tree is leveled with sandpaper, knots and irregularities are sanded.

2) Before applying the composition, the lining is degreased with gasoline or nitro solvent, the rest of the product is cleaned with a brush.
3) Carry out priming with a mixture comparable to acrylic paint. The primer should dry well, this will take at least a day.
4) Start painting the finish, observing a few rules:

If a large amount of work is envisaged, all the paint from the cans is mixed in a large container to obtain a uniform color;
Before filling into the spray gun, the acrylic composition is slightly diluted, no more than 10% of water is added to the maximum;
When working with a brush, the pile is dipped into the mixture to a height of 1/3, the paint on a roller is pre-rolled along the inclined surface of the tray;
Make smooth movements with the hand along the direction of the fibers.

You can start painting when the air temperature is above + 10 ° C.

It is desirable to paint on a tree 2-3 times, each subsequent layer is applied after drying and partial hardening of the previous one.

Each subsequent layer is applied after drying and partial hardening of the previous one.

Odorless paint for renovation in an apartment is available in a large assortment. When choosing paintwork materials, one should take into account the type of surface, the compatibility of the base with old coatings, if they remain. If you look carefully at the label on the packaging, errors are excluded.

Materials and their characteristics

Any mixture for painting wood includes:

pigment that gives color to the coating;
a base serving as a connecting element;
plasticizers responsible for the formation of a film after the liquid has dried;
fillers that provide shine and decorative properties;
stabilizers and additives that give the composition special technical properties (fire safety, moisture resistance, the ability to dry quickly).

The smell of the liquid is imparted by the solvent. Many colors are made on the basis of organic solvents with a strong unpleasant odor. Those compositions where water acts as a solvent do not smell or have a weak aroma.

Water based paints

are an aqueous dispersion of liquid polymers. Such compositions are used for all wooden surfaces. After the emulsion has dried, a durable waterproof film is formed due to the plasticizers included in its composition. Water-based coatings are resistant to mechanical stress, vapor permeable and have a long service life (up to 15 years) due to good adhesion. Special additives in the composition make the dyes moisture and fire resistant.

A wide range of shades on sale allows you to choose a color scheme for any room design option. It can be either transparent or white paint, as well as coatings of a wide variety of colors and shades.

Polyvinyl acetate compounds

In this case, an aqueous emulsion of polyvinyl acetate acts as a base for paints. After the mixture dries, a film is formed with elasticity. This property allows this coating to tighten minor defects of the painted surface. Special additives in the composition of polyvinyl acetate mixtures ensure fire safety, vapor and water resistance of the coating.

These formulations are easy to apply and quick drying. The film forms 2-4 hours after the mixture is applied. The optimum air temperature for the fastest drying is + 17 ... + 23 ° С. When dry, the liquids do not emit toxic substances and do not smell, therefore it is safe to work with them.

However, polyvinyl acetate formulations also have disadvantages. These mixtures are not resistant to frost and poorly withstand temperatures below + 6 ° C. Some can be washed off with water and leave marks on objects when touched. Therefore, they are most often used for painting dry surfaces that are not subject to frequent mechanical contact. Before applying polyvinyl acetate compositions, a thorough surface preparation is required, including repeated cleaning and sanding of the wood.

Silicone Coating

Silicone mixtures are water-dispersible, i.e. water acts as a solvent in them, and the particles of the base scattered in it are silicone resins. Such paints are waterproof, resistant to fungus, ultraviolet light, high temperatures and alkalis. They are elastic, vapor-permeable, do not conduct electric current, do not attract dirt and dust, do not fade over time. Some mixes contain additives that make them fire resistant. The service life of the silicone coating reaches 20-25 years.

Latex paints

Latex paints are made in paste form. Before use, they must be diluted with water, which must be soft. Hard water can cause the mixture to clot. Apply latex formulations with a roller or spray gun in 2-3 thin layers. It is not recommended to use a brush, because in this case, the coating may lose its properties.

Latex mixtures can be applied both to an unprepared tree and on top of a primer, putty or old one. The latex coating is characterized by good wear resistance, resistance to moisture and temperature extremes, it is capable of air permeability and has high thermal insulation characteristics. However, it is relatively short-lived and has poor UV resistance.

Hammer paints

Hammer compounds are decorative enamels, after applying which a relief pattern appears on the painted surface. These mixtures are characterized by thermal, moisture and wear resistance, good adhesion to surfaces and a high drying rate. They do not attract dust and do not fade over time.

Features of applying paint mixtures on a wooden floor

Depending on the material used, it may be necessary to pre-prime the coating

Regardless of where the staining will be carried out (in the house, on the veranda, in the bath), a certain sequence of actions must be followed.

First, prepare the floor. If the floors are only laid, debris and dust are removed. On floor surfaces that have served for a certain time, the old paint must be removed. If, after that, cracks become visible in the boards or between them, they should be sealed with a special putty, the remnants of which are recommended to be removed with fine sandpaper.

Depending on the material used, it may be necessary to pre-coat the floor covering. After it dries, you can start painting. If you do the work with your own hands and do not have much experience, isolate surfaces and elements that the paint mixture should not get on with masking tape. After finishing the staining, it can be removed. The skirting boards are painted first, and only then the floorboards. The number of layers depends on the mixture you are finishing with. The next layer is applied only after the previous one has dried. When the floor is completely dry and there is no strong smell in the room, furniture can be brought in.

The technology of painting floors in the bath is somewhat different. The oil composition of "Tikkurila" is applied subject to the following requirements:

first, you should remove the old dirt and all darkening with the help of grinding;
the room is ventilated so that the humidity in the bath does not exceed 50%;
if the composition of "Tikkuril" is absorbed very quickly, apply a second layer;
after it is absorbed, the temperature in the bath is brought to the level at which bathing is usually carried out;
Any excess oil that appears on the surface should be removed with a cloth or sponge.

The carefully applied Tikkurila oil mixture protects the wood and repels dirt. The quality of painting depends on strict adherence to the manufacturer's recommendations, so if you do the work yourself, follow the instructions as closely as possible.

Acrylic paints

Acrylic paints and varnishes include several types of components:

A binder is a polymeric substance that provides film formation, adhesive properties, and also holds pigments, fillers and other substances together.
Pigments, which are elements of a finely dispersed fraction. These substances give the paint color, strength characteristics and resistance to corrosion.
Fillers responsible for the dullness or glossiness of the surface. In addition, fillers protect the paintwork from mold, mildew, bark beetles, moisture, etc.
Auxiliary components (thickeners, foam suppressors, stabilizers, flame retardants, etc.).

There are several types of acrylic paint:

Acrylic water-dispersion mixture consists of polymer acrylic emulsion, pigment, water and special additives. The copolymers included in the emulsion provide a protective film that is highly resistant to external factors.
Water-based acrylic mixture is usually used for interior decoration. Water-based formulations are among the most popular among consumers, not least due to affordable prices.
Paints for painting. Acrylic facade paintwork materials for painting are characterized by their all-weather properties. In addition to standard paints, special thickened relief pastes are produced.However, paints for painting are characterized by a pungent odor, since they do not use water as a thinner, but an organic solvent.

Advantages of acrylic compounds:

water-repellent characteristics;
lack of a pungent odor due to a non-toxic solvent;
health safety;
resistance to low temperatures;
long service life of the coating;
fire safety;
insignificant consumption of material;
UV resistance;
vapor permeability (especially important for wooden surfaces);
fast drying - the drying time of the painted surface can vary from 30 to 120 minutes;
the ability to work with an acrylic compound even in rainy weather;
color fastness;
the elasticity of the coating is an important quality for wood subject to deformation under the influence of natural factors, as well as shrinkage at home.
the ability to remove paint if it gets on an unwanted area;
affordable cost.

Disadvantages of acrylic paints and varnishes:

Cheap price range paints can change dramatically as the surface dries.
You need to be very careful about the staining, periodically taking breaks so as not to apply too much paint.

Indoor wood surface painting technology

Before applying the selected paint to a surface, it is necessary to prepare this surface. This work consists of several stages:

Removing mold and mildew is the most important preparatory stage. If there is such damage to the wood, then it is necessary to treat the wood with special preparations.
We remove irregularities - there will certainly be knots on the new wooden surface. They need to be removed. There may also be resin. It needs to be heated with a special hair dryer and removed. Places are sanded with sandpaper. It is also necessary to cover these places with shellac - the product will help prevent the release of resin.
Removing the old coating, if any. Cracked paint can be removed with a spatula, if there is a technical hairdryer, then it will be very useful here. It will soften the paint and make it easier to remove. Then we rub the remaining material with sandpaper.
We remove defects. If there are holes in the wood, they must be putty. Finding a putty is easy - you just need to make sure that it is suitable for wood surfaces. After the putty, we level it with sandpaper.
Degreasing is a mandatory step, without which high-quality painting is impossible. In this case, you will need a nitro solvent or extraction gasoline. We process all the wood with a liquid to exclude the presence of greasy stains. Then brush the entire surface with a brush.

After the preparatory stage, the surface must be primed. This is necessary in order for the paint to adhere better to the surface. Also, thanks to the primer, less paint consumption is obtained. And the primer also helps prevent stains from showing through the paint. For priming, use drying oil or a colorless primer specifically for wood. After a day, you can start painting.

To apply paint correctly, you need to know a few points:

Application is best done with a flat, wide brush. A spray gun is also great.
You do not need to collect a lot of paint on the brush, it is enough to lower it by a third into the solution.
For best application, brush along the grain of the tree, not across.
The brush should be driven smoothly and should not be pressed hard against the surface.

Painting is carried out in two or three passes. First, the first thin layer is applied, then you need to wait for drying, apply the second thin layer. Then, if necessary, you can apply a third layer. It should be remembered that it will be more effective to apply several thin layers than one thick layer. A few more tips to ensure that your painting is of the highest quality and looks like it was done by professionals, even if you are doing it for the first time:

To avoid showing the stripes from the brush, the last layer should be applied from top to bottom.
For a uniform color of the paint, it is necessary to thoroughly stir the mixture before application.
The color does not always correspond to the color stated on the package, so it is better to do a test stroke before painting.
Degreasing with an alkali solution before painting will improve the adhesion of the paint to the surface, which means it will make the painting more durable.
Painting should not be carried out in high room temperatures as the paint will dry faster and may result in poorer results.
For surface finishes in a modern style, you can combine two colors when painting. Usually, in this case, a darker shade is applied with the first layer, and a lighter and brighter shade with the second. An interesting effect is obtained.
To create the effect of bleached oak, you need to use a light paint, which is applied in a thin layer two to three times.
