Decorative paint for walls 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 right coating.
It-Decor company offers high-quality decorative paint: the price of the material is quite affordable, 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-based
- Adhesive.
The strength of alkyd coatings (diluted with turpentine and drying oil) is resistance to moisture and sunlight - they are used for external and internal work. Disadvantages - low resistance to high temperature (fire hazard) 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 ingress of water (moisture does not penetrate inside - it just evaporates). The advantages of the finished coating include fire safety, the absence of toxic components and the ability to maintain an optimal microclimate. Disadvantages are insignificant - 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 scheme in the composition requires skill in working with this particular type of paint: professionals prefer ready-made paints, rather than self-preparation. Reasons - 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, allows moisture and air to pass through.
The advantages of decorative paints
When using decorative paint for walls, they are trying to solve an important problem - to create a certain effect. Adding various components helps to achieve different effects:
- Matt silk. Paints based on acrylic resin and polymer sawdust are used.
- Mosaic (or multicolor wall). It is applied in two layers: one for the base, the second for creating a picture.
- Old man. The finished surface has a classic design with an imitation of cracks, abrasions, and gilding remains.
- Natural surface. The correct choice of texture (additives) and shade helps to create the effect of sea waves, snow-covered surfaces, 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 a renovation, you have not decided what exactly - decorative plaster or wall paint - to buy, you need to analyze the advantages of finishing materials and the features of the premises. The paint has its advantages:
- After applying and drying the surface, a simple processing process is enough to obtain the required shade - silver, golden, natural - and by changing the direction of the light flux (or the degree of illumination), the wall will change color.
- The finished paint can be applied several times to the same place: it is perfectly layered and lays down, and it does not take much effort to repair damage on the wall.
- Low consumption during work and an adequate price of decorative paint make repairs more profitable than using decorative plasters.
- Painted walls look more elegant than plastered walls, which is important for small spaces.

STRUCTURAL PAINT
Structural paint for walls is a relatively new type of facade and interior decoration. These are environmentally friendly materials that are allowed to be used in homes and apartments, offices and kindergartens, schools and hospitals, sanatoriums and holiday homes.
Structural paint is often referred to as textured, textured, or embossed paint. 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 volumetric drawings and patterns to the walls: bark beetle, wave, zebra, cage, braid, etc. Textured walls can look like concrete, natural stone, brickwork, velvet or leather.
Structural mixtures are suitable for finishing various surfaces:
concrete;
asbestos cement;
drywall;
bricks;
Chipboard;
oriented strand board or fibreboard;
MDF;
plastered and unplastered bases.
Structural paint application is not particularly difficult, therefore, if desired, everyone can master the technology of its application.
Texture paints are increasingly replacing decorative plaster, wallpaper, artificial stone and other finishes.
The reason for this popularity lies in the advantages of the material:
it is easy to apply;
dries quickly;
does not fade when exposed to sunlight;
does not absorb moisture, dirt and foreign odors;
easy to clean;
does not wear out, does not lose its original appearance;
tolerates repeated cleaning with household detergents;
resistant to open flames, sudden changes in temperature and frost;
maintains 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 use;
does not contain toxic substances and allergens, therefore it is safe for people, warm-blooded animals and other representatives of the fauna;
does not require thorough preparation of the base for painting;
perfectly hides irregularities, scratches, potholes and other minor defects;
creates a durable and elastic coating that does not crack or leave the wall over time.
Before applying the texture suspension on surfaces painted with acrylic or other paint and varnish 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 mixes and colors for them - special coloring pigments, with the help of which a texture mix can be given about 1,000 shades. Structural painted walls can be repainted in a different color using acrylic-based paintwork materials.
VARIETIES OF STRUCTURAL PAINTS
Structural suspensions differ from each other in composition and type of application. So, mineral based on cement and lime are often used for facade decoration. Silicone and vinyl can be applied to any substrate other than home or garden furniture. Paints based on acrylic resins are versatile - they can be painted on any surface.
Designers often use paint with a rough effect in the interior. Such a covering becomes similar to dressed animal skin, and the room looks warm and cozy. Some textured varieties contain special additives that give the treated surface a similarity to velor, suede, granite or marble.
WALL PREPARATION
The preparation of walls for painting is carried out in several stages:
1. Align large differences in height, putty cracks, joints and voids more than 2 mm deep.
2. Wipe off the dust, degrease the greasy surfaces - wash with dishwashing gel or wipe with acetone, solvent, white spirit.
3. Areas covered with mold are dried and treated with an anti-fungal agent.
4. Apply a layer of primer and wait for it to dry completely. Most often they use a primer paint tinted in the same shade as 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), a roller with a short coat, a spatula or a stainless float. The wall to be painted must be visually broken into small segments and processed in turn.
Since the textured suspensions are structured within 20-30 minutes after being applied to the wall, you should not capture an area larger than 1-1.5 sq. m.
To create the desired relief, you can use different devices:
foam sponge;
a brush with a hard bristle;
metal or plastic spatula;
rectangular trowel;
comb;
embossed grater;
paint roller with structuring attachments (nap, rubber or leather);
stencils and stamps.
To prevent the painted base from shining 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 to the wall from top to bottom.
2. During the 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 works should be carried out in dry and relatively calm weather at an air temperature from +5 to + 30 ° С.
4. When painting interior surfaces, take care of ventilation.
It is advisable to decorate a room or 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.
