Decorative wall paint is the most economical finishing material that allows you to radically change the interior of the premises: the main thing is to choose and apply the coating correctly.
It-Decor offers high-quality decorative paint: the price of the material is quite democratic, taking into account its properties and advantages.
Features of decorative paints
Depending on the film-forming components, decorative paint is produced in several types:
- Alkyd - enamel and oil.
- Water emulsion
- Adhesive.
The strength of alkyd coatings (diluted with turpentine and drying oil) is resistance to moisture and sunlight - they are used for outdoor and indoor work. Disadvantages - poor resistance to high temperature (fire hazardous) and alkaline environment, the need to dry the treated surface before starting work.
Water-based paints can be used with various dyes (pigments), and painted colored surfaces do not change color after water enters (moisture does not penetrate inside - it simply evaporates). The advantages of the finished coating include fire safety, the absence of toxic components and the ability to maintain an optimal microclimate. Minor disadvantages - poor adhesion to adhesive and varnished surfaces: the paint peels off after application.
If you decide to purchase an inexpensive but practical decorative wall paint, it is recommended to buy an adhesive-based coating. The presence of chalk, glue and color in the composition requires skill in working with this particular type of paint: professionals prefer ready-made paints, rather than self-preparation. Causes - the wrong ratio of components or their mixing leads to the formation of spots after drying (white, heterogeneous, saline), cracking. The main advantage of the adhesive material is the formation of small pores on the surface: the coating dries quickly, passes moisture and air.
Advantages of decorative paints
When using decorative wall paint, they try to solve an important task - creating a certain effect. Adding various components helps to achieve different effects:
- Matte silk. Paints based on acrylic resin and polymer sawdust are used.
- Mosaic (or multicolor wall). It is applied in two layers: one is the base, the second is to create a pattern.
- Old man. The finished surface has a classic design with imitation of cracks, scuffs, gilding residues.
- Natural surface. The right choice of texture (additives) and shade helps to create the effect of sea waves, a snowy surface, desert dunes on the wall - the result depends on the imagination of the designer (or yours) and the skill of those who apply the paint.
If, when planning repairs, you did not decide what exactly - decorative plaster or wall paint - to buy, you need to analyze the advantages of finishing materials and the features of the premises. Paint has its advantages:
- After applying and drying the surface, a simple treatment process is enough to obtain the desired shade - silver, golden, natural - and by changing the direction of the light flux (or degree of illumination), the wall will change color.
- The finished paint can be applied several times in the same place: it is perfectly layered and laid down, and it does not take much effort to repair damage to the wall.
- A small expense during work and an adequate price of decorative paint make repairs more profitable than the use of decorative plasters.
- Painted walls look more elegant than plastered ones, which is important for small spaces.

STRUCTURAL PAINT
Structural wall paint is a relatively new type of facade and interior decoration. These are eco-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. These names accurately characterize the main property of paints - to acquire relief and texture. With the help of modern paints and varnishes, you can apply three-dimensional drawings and patterns to the walls: bark beetle, wave, zebra, cage, braid, etc. Walls painted with texture mixes can take on a resemblance to concrete, natural stone, brickwork, velvet, or leather.
Structural mixtures are suitable for finishing different surfaces:
concrete;
asbestos cement;
drywall;
bricks;
Chipboard;
oriented strand or fiberboard;
MDF;
plastered and non-plastered bases.
The application of structural paint is not particularly difficult, so if desired, everyone will be able to master the technology of its application.
Texture paints are increasingly replacing decorative plaster, wallpaper, artificial stone and other types of finishes.
The reason for this popularity lies in the advantages of the material:
it is easy to apply;
dries quickly;
does not fade under the influence of sunlight;
does not absorb moisture, dirt and odors;
easy to clean;
does not wear out, does not lose its original appearance;
tolerates repeated cleaning with household detergents;
resistant to open flame, sudden changes in temperature and frost;
supports 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 work;
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 staining;
perfectly hides bumps, 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 paintwork 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 mixtures and colors for them - special coloring pigments, with which the texture mixture can be given about 1,000 shades. Walls that have had structural paint applied can be repainted in a different color using acrylic based paintwork.
VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL PAINT
Structural suspensions differ from each other in composition and type of application. So, mineral based cement and lime are more often used for finishing facades. Silicone and vinyl can be applied to any substrate except home or garden furniture. Paints based on acrylic resins are universal - they can paint any surface.
Designers often use paints with a rough effect in the interior. Such a coating takes on a resemblance to dressed animal skin, and the room looks warm and cozy. In some texture varieties, there are special additives that give the treated surface a resemblance to velor, suede, granite or marble.
WALL PREPARATION
The preparation of walls for painting is carried out in several stages:
1. They even out large differences in height, putty cracks, joints and voids with a depth of more than 2 mm.
2. Wipe off dust, degrease greasy surfaces - wash with dishwashing gel or wipe with acetone, solvent, white spirit.
3. Moldy areas are dried and treated with an antifungal 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 the 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), roller with a short fur coat, spatula or stainless grater. 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, an area of more than 1-1.5 square meters should not be captured at a time. m.
To create the desired relief, you can use different devices:
foam sponge;
brush with hard bristles;
metal or plastic spatula;
rectangular trowel;
comb;
embossed grater;
paint roller with structuring nozzles (pile, rubber or leather);
stencils and stamps.
So that the painted base does not shine 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 on 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 work should be carried out in dry and relatively calm weather at an air temperature of +5 to +30°C.
4. When painting internal surfaces, take care of ventilation.
It is desirable 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.
