Acrylic paint for wooden facades

When carrying out external work on the decoration of the walls of wooden houses, different facade coatings can be used. But if you choose a composition based on acrylates and water, be sure of the correct decision. These materials are distinguished by excellent decorative characteristics, which can be estimated from the photos in our catalog, and are ideal for use. Acrylic facade paints are superior to oil and alkyd paints in many respects. They dry quickly, forming a thin but durable polymer film on the surface of the wood. Therefore, work on painting the outer walls is carried out as quickly as possible and does not require significant labor costs. And you can buy products in this category from us by choosing a suitable color from a wide palette of shades.

Acrylic facade paint for wood

Facade coatings of this type have many advantages. This is the reason for their popularity when carrying out external finishing works. The undeniable advantages of high-quality acrylic facade paint for wood include:

1. Excellent adhesion. The coating is firmly connected to the surface to be treated, due to which it does not flake or peel off.

2. Environmental friendliness. You will feel comfortable painting walls due to the absence of unpleasant odors and harmful vapors.

3. Elasticity. The coating does not crack over time - it does not reflect building shrinkage, wood drying, etc.

4. Aesthetics. It looks great, making the exterior wall decoration an interesting creative process.

5. Resistance to weathering. The material does not absorb moisture, it tolerates well exposure to sunlight, wind, high and low temperatures.

6. Water vapor permeability. Acrylic facade paint allows the walls to "breathe", which helps to remove moisture from the thickness of the tree.

7. Ease of preparation and application. The composition is easy to dilute to the desired consistency. And the execution of outdoor finishing works takes a minimum of time, since it dries quickly. Moreover, the decorative coating will have to be renewed no earlier than in 5 - 10 years.

If you want to paint your house, cottage or other building, buy acrylic facade paints on plaster or wood. It is the best choice for outdoor walls. And some compositions are also suitable for interior work. They are versatile and environmentally friendly, making them safe to use both outside and inside buildings.

Concrete, despite its resistance to mechanical stress, has a porous structure.This feature is manifested in the fact that its texture can quickly collapse under the influence of some negative factors. Peeling of the outer layer or dusting occurs. It is possible to prevent or minimize negative consequences by using external protective coatings, one of which is paint on concrete.

Often, such a coating is used to increase the life of buildings. A certain layer is applied to the facades, which blocks the interaction of the building material with external factors. The moisture resistant structure becomes a barrier to biological or chemical influences from the outside. Outdoor paint is relevant not only when it is applied to buildings, but also when painting various concrete structures or bridge supports made of this material.

Application technology

Painting the facade with water-based paint, like any other surface, begins with preparation. It is necessary to clean the surface to be painted from dirt and moisture, remove all lagging elements and fill the existing gaps. It will not be superfluous to pre-treat the surface with primer, this will help reduce paint consumption and improve the surface structure.

After completing the preparation of the surface and materials, the first coat of paint must be applied. The minimum temperature for work with water-based paint is + 5 ° С, the optimal temperature is from +18 to + 25 ° С. At lower temperatures, the viscosity of the paint increases, which interferes with uniform application and may affect the final quality of the work. At higher temperatures than recommended, the paint will dry faster than necessary, which will interfere with uniform application.

Under ideal conditions, the next coat can be applied 1 hour after the first was applied. It is better not to rush, and if in doubt about the drying of the paint, wait a little longer. It is possible to apply in 3 or more layers, especially if the paint is light and the surface to be painted is dark.

How to choose a facade paint for outdoor use

Before opting for facade paint, you must first of all consider the coating material on which you plan to apply the coloring composition.

For wood

Wood is a material for which it is rather difficult to choose a coloring composition, since wooden walls:

• prone to rotting;
• absorb moisture;
• not resistant to fire.

For wood, the best option for staining will be a dye composition, which has a high moisture resistance, elasticity and good adhesion to a wooden surface.

When using a transparent coating, the structure of the natural texture is preserved. Transparent formulations are vapor-permeable, they contribute to the release of the surface from moisture

Both tinted and transparent paints are suitable for wood. When using a transparent coating, the structure of the natural texture is preserved. Transparent formulations are vapor-permeable, they contribute to the release of the surface from moisture.

For brick

A brick surface requires special properties of coloring materials, since a brick has the ability to remove accumulated salts, which adversely affects its appearance. In addition, the formation of moss and delamination on a brick wall is possible. In connection with this factor, it is recommended to paint the brick surface several years after the construction of the building.

To paint bricks, coloring materials must meet the requirements:

• resistance to chemicals;
• vapor permeability;
• resistance to precipitation;
• mechanical stability.

To cover a brick wall, a substance is required that has good elasticity, so that when the temperature drops during the narrowing (expansion) of the brick base, the coating does not crack or deform.

For a brick, acrylic coating can serve as the best option: it allows the brick to "breathe", is resistant to moisture, and prevents the formation of efflorescence.

If the brick is ceramic, almost all types of coatings are suitable for it.

Water-based formulations are also well suited for painting bricks, but it should be borne in mind that they are susceptible to moisture and are not suitable for finishing facades prone to frequent precipitation.

For foam block

Foam block walls have high porosity, therefore, to protect pores from dust and moisture, paint with vapor-permeable properties and at the same time water-repellent is required. The most suitable for foam blocks are silicone coatings or an expensive option - rubber.

Otherwise, the paint will flake off and break down.

For concrete

Boring, gray concrete is often painted in order to give it a bright color, decorative effect, and also to protect the base. Despite the fact that concrete is a fairly durable material, it degrades over time.

The main requirements for concrete paint should be:

• frost resistance;
• moisture resistance;
• environmental friendliness;
• color fastness.

For concrete, you can use any composition, but you should take into account the characteristics of each type, which can negatively affect the result:

• water-based - weakly protect from moisture;
• oil - do not have vapor permeability and require thorough preparation of the surface for painting.

Varieties and specifications

Common to all water-based paints is the water base and emulsion type of the coloring pigment. Distinguish paints by the composition of the binder, which provides the desired characteristics for a specific application. The most common types of water-based paints are:

• acrylic;
• silicone;
• silicate;
• mineral;
• latex.

The paint consists of purified water, which serves as a solvent, a coloring filler containing one of the above bases, as well as various plasticizers and additives.

In addition to the binder, the main distinguishing characteristics of paints are:

• water permeability;
• density;
• application area.

For quick drying of the paint after application, special hardeners are used. Depending on the expected operating conditions, thickeners or additives based on antifreeze are added to the composition.

VEAK

VEAK 1180 paint is one of the most common types of water-based paints. This type of paint is produced in accordance with GOST 28196-89, according to the requirements of which, all products meet the following characteristics:

This is an acrylic-based paint used for interior decoration. All paint of this type is exceptionally white, but, thanks to the possibility of tinting, it can acquire any color and shade.

Water-based acrylic

Acrylic-based paints are universal, and include a whole group of varieties, classified according to OKPD 2 number 20.30.11.120. This paint is used indoors and in the production of facade work. At the same time, the acrylic base is the most expensive of the water-based paints.

Acrylic paint is very durable, with a lifespan ranging from 5 to 20 years. The paint is applied to almost any surface, evenly distributed over the plane. After drying, the paint creates a fairly dense layer that is poorly permeable to air and other substances. Also, a strong advantage of this base is considered to be high frost resistance and resistance to temperature extremes.

Latex

Latex paint contains rubber, which gives elasticity to the applied layer. This type is also used both indoors and outdoors. There are different types of paint, and it is divided not only by the field of application, but also by the characteristics of the finished surface in terms of gloss. Distinguish:

• CM is completely matte;
• M matte;
• MP is half matte;
• PG is half glossy;
• G glossy;
• SG is completely glossy.

This type of paint is used to create a three-dimensional texture of the painted surface. Like acrylic paint, latex calmly transfers contact with water after the surface is completely dry.

For concrete for outdoor use

Most water-based exterior paints are based on acrylic, latex or silicate, including those for concrete. Such coatings are not only decorative, but also protect concrete from moisture and ultraviolet radiation.

The paint should be applied in a dense layer and fills in all the small irregularities of the surface, forming an even, uniform layer. Facade paint for concrete must have the following characteristics:

• high rate of adhesion, that is, "sticking" to the surface;
• strong moisture resistance;
• high abrasion;
• UV resistance;
• vapor permeability, for the possibility of evaporation of water and other substances from concrete;
• high resistance to dirt.

For outdoor woodwork

For such types of work, the requirements for paint will be even stricter, because wood, unlike concrete, is prone to decay. If you use paint that permeates or even more so absorbs water, then the surface will quickly become unusable, and this will affect not only the appearance, but also the strength of the structure as a whole.

The general characteristics of paints will be the same as for concrete paving, but paints specially formulated for wood are easier to apply and will hold better. Today, there are water-based coatings with antifungal additives that provide additional protection.

Types of facade paint

Facade paints are a wide range of materials produced for exterior decoration of buildings and structures. This choice is due to a wide variety of types of building material, the difference in climatic conditions of the regions, temperature regime, etc.

Depending on the specifics of the building, building material, operating conditions of the house, paints can be used that best suit the given parameters.

First of all, facade paints should be divided according to the type of solvent:

Water-dispersed. Such paints are small particles of the working mixture, whipped with water to form a fine suspension. When applied, water is partially absorbed by the base, partially evaporated, and the remaining film creates a high-quality coating that does not react to moisture in any way. The value of such paints is the absence of odor, the ability to quickly remove stains with plain water, keep the working tool clean and tidy - and all this with ordinary water.

Compositions on organic solvents. Chemical solvents such as white spirit or the like are used for these materials.

In addition, all facade paints can be divided according to the base material:

• Mineral. Paints with various finely ground minerals as a pigment - lime, cement, chalk, talc, etc. Basically, these are water-dispersed mixtures. They have high vapor permeability, are resistant to low temperatures, and are relatively inexpensive.
• Silicate. The basis is liquid glass, the material has a two-component composition, it is mixed before use. The working capacity of the finished paint is 8 hours, during this time it is necessary to have time to apply it. They are characterized by resistance to temperature and climatic influences, but have a high level of emission of toxic substances and are flammable.
• Silicone.These compositions are distinguished by high elasticity, which makes it possible to compensate for various movements from vibration, shrinkage or other movements of the wall material. In addition, the high water-repellency of the coating allows it to be used in areas with high pollution - industrial areas, the proximity of highways, etc. The high cost of silicone paints is their main disadvantage.
• Acrylic. These are water-dispersible materials based on acrylic resins and their derivatives. They have a very wide range of varieties, are easy to use and relatively inexpensive.
