How to paint the walls in the bathroom instead of tiles

How to use it indoors

Silicone paint for interior work requires a preparatory stage of work, and has a number of nuances when painting surfaces with it. In order to end up with a beautiful bright finish that will last a long time, it is worth working according to the rules for its application.

So, now these stages of work will be described.

In order to end up with a beautiful bright finish that will last a long time, it is worth working according to the rules for its application.

Surface preparation

The preparatory work of the base guarantees a beautiful and even surface. Carrying out these works is not difficult to do with your own hands. They start with cleaning the surface, get rid of the old coating, dirt, dust. After which the walls are washed and dried. It is allowed to wash with the help of foaming agents; for quick drying, you can use a building hair dryer. It is permissible to paint the walls with silicone solution over the old paint, but it is not advisable to do this, over time, the old paint may begin to peel off.

If large flaws are found on the surface, they must be eliminated. Cracks, small depressions can be closed with a special mixture. In addition, putty is used to give the surface an even state.

After completing this stage, proceed to priming work. It promotes better ink adhesion and reduces the consumption of the coloring agent.

Cracks, small depressions can be closed with a special mixture.

How to carry out the painting process correctly

For painting, you can use any tool (roller, brush, spray gun). If a non-professional will work, then it is better to choose brushes or rollers, they should be purchased at once in different sizes so that it is convenient to work with hard-to-reach places. Specialists most often choose a spray gun for these purposes, with it painting even large rooms goes quickly, and you can paint over any cracks and hard-to-reach places well.

Before direct painting, you should take care of the objects in the room by covering them with film or other available materials so that paint does not get on them. Masking tape is glued to mark straight boundaries and lines. It is convenient for them to mark borders on the field and on the ceiling.

Usually silicone paint is sold ready-to-paint. On sale, it is presented in plastic containers or cans, depending on the volume. The addition of additional components is not required, you just need to stir the product and you can proceed to painting. If a shade different from the existing one is required, a color scheme is added to the composition. It should be added in small portions, mixing thoroughly, periodically checking what saturation is obtained.

For painting, you can use any tool (roller, brush, spray gun).

If a roller is selected as a painting tool, then for convenience, you should also purchase a special pallet in which it will be easy to evenly distribute the paint over the roller. Apply the product from top to bottom, working smoothly and slowly, so that the paint lies on all areas in an even layer.

If a roller is selected as a painting tool, then a special pallet should also be purchased for convenience.

If it is decided to apply the paint in 2 layers, then the second one is applied only after the first one has completely dried. Silicone paint can be applied in one layer, the second is applied if it is necessary to obtain a more saturated shade. Small brushes will be needed to paint over hard-to-reach areas where there are joints with a surface that is not going to be painted.

Silicone paint can be applied in one layer, the second is applied if it is necessary to obtain a more saturated shade.

Appointment

For finishing facades and painting walls indoors, paints of different composition are used, since the requirements for them differ.

Plaster paint is divided into two types - for indoor and outdoor use. It is quite possible to apply each of them with your own hands, without resorting to the help of masters, thereby significantly saving the budget.

For interior work

Interior plaster paint is an important component of interior design. The quality of covering ceilings and walls depends on the right choice. Currently, there are a large number of formulations on the market, but it is not easy to navigate them. For materials used indoors, vapor permeability and graininess are important.

These paints and varnishes are considered durable due to the resin contained in the composition. The film that forms after drying protects the pigment.

It is very convenient to apply special non-dripping paint to the plastered surface. For example, for painting the ceiling, it will be the ideal material. A special jelly is added to the paint, due to which the composition is thicker and evenly distributed over the surface.

When choosing a material for interior work, it is important to take into account some factors, such as indoor humidity, temperature changes, exposure to ultraviolet rays. For example, for walls in a garage or cellar, it is best to choose silicate or water-based compositions

For the facade

Not every paint is suitable for outdoor use. It must meet the following requirements:

• High strength;
• Wear resistance;
• Resistant to sunlight;
• Waterproof;
• Moisture resistance;
• Frost resistance;
• Fire resistance;
• Economical material consumption.

The main purpose of the coating is to enhance the performance of the plaster.

High-quality paint has a thick consistency and, when shaken, gradually becomes liquid. This is necessary for uniform application of the composition.

Before buying, you need to carefully study the information on the product packaging. Paints differ from each other in terms of temperature, humidity, environmental friendliness and shelf life.

To date, the following facade paints for plastering for outdoor use are common:

• Silicate;
• Cement based;
• Acrylic;
• Silicone;
• Calcareous.

Tips for choosing bathroom paint

When deciding the question: how to paint a bathroom in a wooden house, you need to pay attention to the type of dye. The main criterion by which to select bathroom paint in a house from a bar or a log house - this is resistance to moisture

According to this criterion, there are two types of paints:

1. Moisture resistant.
2. Washable.

Moisture-resistant paint can withstand prolonged exposure to very high humidity levels and occasional water ingress without changing its appearance. But if the surface covered with such paint is regularly damped, it can damage the coating. Moisture-resistant compounds can only be painted on those walls that are not in the immediate vicinity of the water source.

Walls that are located above the bathroom or near the sink, from where water droplets regularly fly, are best painted with washable paints. These colorants form a film on the surface that is not affected by moisture. The surface is highly resistant to water and chemicals. It can be washed periodically with household products, but should not be scrubbed with abrasive brushes, as coarse bristles can damage the topcoat.

Water dispersions

Absolutely environmentally friendly material - a godsend for adherents of "natural" style.They are very widely used in the decoration of wooden elements inside and outside.

There are no organic solvents in the composition. The material is a suspension of the smallest particles of solid components in water and is sold in pasty form. Immediately before use, it is diluted with water and mixed thoroughly.

As part of water-dispersion paints:

• water,
• pigment,
• connecting element,
• fillers.

The quality of the paint is determined by the degree of whiteness: the whiter the solution, the higher it is. It is not worth purchasing colored compositions, since the initial tinting is often used by manufacturers to mask the material's non-compliance with high requirements. The desired color is obtained by adding a suitable color scheme.

Latex and PVA are also used in the production of coloring water dispersions, and their properties practically do not differ from their water-based analogs. The only difference is in the drying time of the solution applied to the surface; it ranges from half an hour to two hours.

Water dispersion acrylic paints

These materials have conquered a fairly large segment of the finishing materials market due to their versatility and an attractive price-performance ratio. Painting a wooden house inside using acrylic water dispersions is a solution that is justified in all respects, because:

• coatings do not ignite when accidentally hit by a spark;
• the paint forms a durable protective film;
• the material does not interfere with air circulation (the tree will not rot);
• the coating has good moisture-repellent properties;
• the composition is hypoallergenic;
• the painted surface is easy to clean and is not afraid of household cleaning agents;
• the paint does not smell and dries quickly;
• the solution adheres well to almost any surface, including wood;
• the coating is durable and abrasion resistant.

No special skills are required for wood finishing with water-dispersion paints; surfaces are painted using any tools - from a spray gun to an ordinary paint brush. The coating is highly decorative, it can be matte, semi-matte or glossy.

To paint a wooden house inside and get an excellent result, you have to take into account one feature of the interaction of the water dispersion with this material: when the composition is applied, the wooden fibers bulge, forming a rough texture. To obtain a perfectly smooth and pleasant to the touch surface, the base must be carefully sanded before painting and this action must be repeated after each new dried layer.

Important: water-based paints must be stored in heated rooms, freezing and thawing will irreversibly degrade their quality

How to paint a bathroom

You can paint the walls in the bathroom in different ways. Some people choose a combined finish - a shower stall or part of the wall near the bathtub is tiled, everything else is painted. In this case, the choice of paints is greater, since many can easily tolerate high humidity, but not all can withstand the effects of hot chlorinated water.

Only part of the walls can be painted with paint in the bathroom

If you absolutely do not like the tiles, even in limited quantities, you can cheat - finish the painted walls in the splash zone with glass or transparent polycarbonate sheets.

Many still have concerns about whether it is possible to hang a heated towel rail on a painted wall. The answer is that you can, there are no restrictions and there will be no consequences either. Further on, what colors can be used to paint the walls of the bathroom.

Latex water-based paints

Styrene-butadiene paint is a pigment suspension in an emulsion of styrene-butadiene polymer component. The mixture also includes stabilizers, emulsifiers and some other substances.

Paints are produced in paste form.Before use, the styrene-butadiene mixture must be diluted with water. Moreover, the water will need soft, since upon contact with hard water, the mixture may coagulate. Paintwork materials are applied to the putty and primed surface, although it is possible to do without preliminary surface treatment with these compounds. This type of paintwork is well combined with old coatings painted with oil paint. The surface after staining gets a matte or slightly glossy appearance.

Unlike PVA, styrene-butadiene paints are much more resistant to moisture. In addition, they have better wear resistance and washable performance.

Compared to polyvinyl acetate compositions, latex water-based paints are not so durable, and besides, they are inferior to them in terms of visual appeal. It is also worth noting the low resistance to light in this type of paintwork. Under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, styrene-butadiene compounds lose their original appearance. Therefore, the best field of application of these paintwork materials is the interior surfaces of premises. Although it should be noted that there are also universal latex water-based solutions on the market, which, thanks to the additives in them, are suitable for the treatment of facades.

The methods of applying this type of paintwork materials have their own characteristics. Particularly good results are obtained by painting with rollers - in this case, the viscosity index should be from 45 to 50 seconds according to VZ-4. If the paint is applied with a spray gun, the viscosity level is allowed within 30-33 seconds. But staining with a brush is not recommended, since in this case a long-term shading is needed, which is unacceptable for this type of paintwork. Apply the composition in two to three layers.

What it is

The apartment needs paint that dries quickly and odorless

At this time in stores there is a variety of types of paints and varnishes, they are subdivided according to their appearance and scope of use. In addition to paints and varnishes, there are various impregnations and primers for the front part of wooden products. Their correct choice and application allow you to get a long-term and thorough coating as a result. Note that it is virtually impossible to achieve this result with ordinary or painstaking staining.

The priming composition provides penetration into the structure of the material and its strengthening

In addition to the main products, manufacturers produce related materials - primer and leveling mixtures. The goods must be accompanied by instructions on how to prepare the surface before finishing painting. It happens that the tables contain funds specially designed for priming.

Externally, paints are divided into the following types:

Means with a transparent structure - varnish, glaze, impregnation products. The fact that they contain different pigments allows you to emphasize the natural structure of the tree. These products have good vapor permeability, which is why the liquid from the treated material evaporates easily. Typically, such coatings have UV blocking agents. Therefore, the tree does not deteriorate in the sun, and the term of use increases. Secondary treatment is carried out after a couple of years, and the initial layer does not require removal.

Environmentally friendly wood preservatives

Dispersion acrylic paints. Such coatings are widely used in renovation work. Acrylates and their derivatives serve as a binder, and water is used as a solvent. The surface treated with this type of coating is reliably protected from external influences, does not fade, is moisture resistant, the liquid evaporates easily, which allows the tree to "breathe". After painting, a film forms, and moisture evaporates, so the material is made resistant to frost.

Acrylic water-dispersion paint for interior use

On a note. Do not allow the acrylic paint to freeze, this will make it unusable or most of its properties will be lost.

When they began to produce odorless wood furniture paints, where water was used as a solvent, conventional paints and varnishes became less in demand. But this does not mean that people have stopped buying them. They are also used in renovation work due to the quality of the coating, that they are simple and easy to use. Several important disadvantages can be identified - they are toxic and flammable. From opaque enamels, which are based on organic solvents, alkyd, vinyl chloride and polyurethane are in wide demand.

Oil formulations have good adhesion to wood, but surfaces painted with these formulations become non-breathable

Let's see what is included in the paint:

Acrylic Acrylic resins are taken as a basis; when dry, the paint darkens. Their advantages: odorless, dry quickly, resistant to abrasive agents, moisture, ultraviolet light. Ideal for matt and semi-matt surfaces. Suitable for all types of work Water emulsion The structure includes water emulsions of polymers. Eco-friendly, wide range of colors, vapor permeable, suitable for many surfaces. They do not differ in resistance, dirt appears over time. The best option is a water emulsion based on acrylic resins. If you add latex, it becomes moisture resistant. Surfaces treated with this paint can be washed frequently. Silicone The base is based on special silicone resins. They are considered the best, so their price is quite high. They are vapor-permeable and do not get wet. Due to the fact that they pass carbon dioxide, they easily harden, elasticVariety of water-based paints

Varieties and specifications

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

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

The paint consists of purified water carrying
the role of 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,
use special hardeners. Depending on the expected conditions
work, thickeners or additives based on antifreeze are added to the composition.

VEAK

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

It is an acrylic based paint used
for interior finishing works. All paint of this type is exceptionally white, but, due to the possibility of tinting, it can
acquire any color and shade.

Water-based acrylic

Acrylic based paints are versatile,
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 water-based paints.

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

Latex

Latex paint contains
rubber that gives elasticity to the applied layer. This kind also applies as
inside and outside the premises. There are different types of paint, and it is not divided
only according to the field of application, but also according to the characteristics of the finished surface with
gloss point of view. 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
volumetric 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

Majority
water-based paints for outdoor use are created on the basis of acrylic, latex
or silicate, including for concrete work.
Such coatings are not only decorative, but also protect concrete from
moisture and ultraviolet radiation.

The paint lays down in a dense layer and fills everything
small irregularities in the surface, forming an even, uniform layer. Facade paint
for concrete must have the following characteristics:

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

For outdoor woodwork

For these types of work, paint requirements
will be even tougher, because wood, unlike concrete, is subject to decay. If
use paint that is permeable or even more absorbing water, then the surface
will quickly become unusable, and this will affect not only the appearance, but also
strength in the structure as a whole.

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

Why paint doors

Interior doors as portals of movement in the interior space in an apartment, in a house. Such doors are used constantly. Each of them opens and closes several times a day. Over time, this leads to the fact that door coatings begin to require renewal. This is one of the reasons why it is necessary to paint interior doors. Other reasons are equally important. Some reasons relate to interior decoration. Others are design changes. With neat, freshly painted door panels, the interior in the house looks transformed, fresh, brighter. Interior doors are painted in a color matching the appearance of the area where they are installed. This is done to harmonize with the interior interior background. Further, the door surface is maintained in good condition by restoration, applying fresh paint. Painting of interior doors is a way to ensure the long service life of products. The paint layer creates protection for wooden door blocks, neutralizes negative influences. Among the negative influencing factors: the external environment, harmful microorganisms that destroy wood.

Painting will give the doors a fresh look

Material features

Typically, silicone dye solutions are water-based. It is a water-based dispersion paint, which also contains various silicone resins. Water is used as a solvent. Due to the special components, the material does not have a pungent and unpleasant odor.

A quality product is completely environmentally friendly and safe for health and the environment.

The paint can be safely used to decorate living rooms: bedroom, living room or nursery. Due to its high water-repellent characteristic, the composition can be used for decorating a bathroom, toilet or kitchen. Waterproof paint will retain its density and color saturation when exposed to steam and moisture.

Another feature of such paints is that they combine the advantages of silicate and acrylic compositions, while not having the disadvantages of these solutions.

Color palette

Initially, latex paints are presented in white. The manufacturer independently uses the color scheme to create the desired color. Sometimes even in the store they carry out tinting "to order". The peculiarity of latex-based products is that they are not presented in bright colors. With the help of the color scheme, you can only get pastel colors.

Black latex paint deserves special attention, since it is not often used, but it can give the interior a new touch if used correctly. Bright colors look very beautiful and impressive on a black background. Black paint will eliminate excessive variegation.
